Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with renal cell carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava as a level II–IV tumor thrombus. Limited metastases are allowed; prior systemic anticancer treatment is excluded.

The idea: oral lenvatinib blocks blood-vessel growth signals, while intravenous pembrolizumab releases an immune brake. Twelve weeks of preoperative treatment precede planned kidney and thrombus removal. Pembrolizumab continues after surgery. Researchers assess tumor control, progression and surgical complications.

This phase 2 study plans 30 patients. Vitaly Margulis leads it at UT Southwestern in Dallas, the single recruiting US site.
