Drug Screening Using Novel IMD in Renal Cell Carcinoma (NCT05700461)
Pilot Study of an Implantable Microdevice for in Situ Evaluation of Drug Response in Renal Cell Carcinoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This research is being done to study the safety and feasibility of implanting and retrieving a microdevice that releases microdoses of 19 specific drugs or drug combinations as a possible tool to evaluate the effectiveness of several cancer drugs against metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The name of the intervention(s) involved in this study are: * Implantable Microdevice (IMD) * Surgery (excision of tumor) * Drugs used in this study will only include drugs already used as standard of care for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
