Study Summary

This trial will look at whether changes in how blood flows through tumors after 3 weeks of treatment can predict whether the treatment is working at 12 weeks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (advanced kidney cancer) who are about to start treatment. They must have a tumor larger than 1 cm that can be seen on ultrasound and agree to the study's procedures. People with health issues that could interfere with their participation, as judged by the medical team, cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if early changes in blood flow within tumors, measured by power doppler ultrasound after starting treatment, can predict how well patients will respond at 12 weeks. It compares two groups: one receiving VEGFR2 inhibitors plus immune therapy and another getting non-immune therapies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from VEGFR2 inhibitors include high blood pressure, fatigue, diarrhea, mouth sores, hand-foot syndrome (redness and pain in hands/feet), and increased risk of bleeding or clotting events.
