Enzalutamide Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Kidney Cancer

Status:

Trial end date:

Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
This pilot phase 0 trial studies how well enzalutamide works before surgery in treating patients with kidney cancer. Androgens are a type of hormone produced by the body that may cause kidney tumors to grow. Anti-hormone therapy, such as enzalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens produced by the body and keep kidney tumors from growing.
