Primary Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated With Immunecheckpoint Inhibitors and Cytoreductive Nephrectomy
A study testing Cytoreductive Nephrectomy in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA).
Trial summary
The benefit of deferred Cytoreductive Nephrectomy (CN) has to be re-assessed in the context of IO +IO and IO + TKI systemic treatment. Given the benefit of CN in the setting of first generation immunotherapy, it is conceivable that both trials underestimated the benefit of CN, in absence of immunotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Prospective Study of Primary Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated With Immunecheckpoint Inhibitors and Cytoreductive Nephrectomy vs Primary Tumour in Place
The benefit of deferred Cytoreductive Nephrectomy (CN) has to be re-assessed in the context of IO +IO and IO + TKI systemic treatment. Given the benefit of CN in the setting of first generation immunotherapy, it is conceivable that both trials underestimated the benefit of CN, in absence of immunotherapy.
Read the detailed description
In past years, much research has been done into the beneficial effects of cytoreductive nephrectomy in patients with metastatic renal cancer receiving systemic therapy with positive results. In the meantime systhemic therapy, and in particular immunotherapy, have changed. Patients with metastatic renal cancer are increasingly treated with immunocheckpoint inhibitors, but the effect of adding cytoreductive nephrectomy in this group of patients has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate whether performing a cytoreductive nephrectomy has a beneficial effect on overall survival in patients with metastatic renal cancer receiving systemic therapy using immunocheckpoint inhibitors.
A randomized controlled trial. All eligible patients have already been enrolled in the PRO-RCC registry, a registry that collects prospective observational data, and have also given consent to be included in other studies as a control cohort. This design is called a TWiC (trial within cohort). After randomization, patients who are randomized into the therapy arm will receive a patient information via their treating physician. Upon participation, an informed consent will be signed and the patient will be scheduled for surgery.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Adriaan Bins, MD PhD (020 5665955, a.d.bins@amsterdamumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall Survival (time frame: defined as time from randomization to death of any cause during 5 years of follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05941169, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
