  • Requirement for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
  • History of solid organ transplantation
  • Has had major surgery (e.g., GI surgery, removal or biopsy of brain metastasis) within 2 months before the first study drug administration. Complete wound healing from major surgery must have occurred 1 month before the first study drug administration and from minor surgery (e.g., simple excision, tooth extraction) at least 10 days before the first study drug administration. Patients with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgery are not eligible
  • Has a prior or concomitant invasive malignancy other than RCC with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ or any other malignancy from which the patient has remained disease free for more than 2 years.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
