Testing the Addition of the Anti-Cancer Drug Tivozanib to Immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) After Surgery to Remove All Known Sites of Kidney Cancer

Is NCT06661720 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 3 trial studies multiple treatments including Pembrolizumab and Tivozanib for clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Phase 3RecruitingAlliance for Clinical Trials in OncologyNCT06661720Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Pembrolizumab · TivozanibThis phase III trial compares the effect of adding tivozanib to standard therapy pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone for the treatment of patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tivozanib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and tivozanib together may work better than pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with RCC.
