What this Trial Is About
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of radioembolization with yttrium-90 (Y-90) in patients with early stage renal cell carcinoma. Y-90 is a radioactive chemical that is incorporated into millions of very tiny glass spheres. These spheres are injected into the artery that feeds the cancer. This process is called radioembolization. Y-90 radioembolization may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with early stage renal cell carcinoma.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Participants must be aged 2 18 years or older at screening
- Signed informed consent obtained before any study procedures
- Life expectancy of at least 12 months
- Diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma by imaging and histology
- Clinical stage T1 or T2a, N0M0
- 1 to 2 solid target lesions (>80% solid)
- Not suitable for partial nephrectomy or thermal ablation based on tumor board decision
- Not candidates for long-term active surveillance due to tumor growth or size
- Not ideal candidates for radical nephrectomy due to surgical risk or health concerns
- Measurable tumor according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
- No bilateral renal tumors
- Negative pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential; breastfeeding females excluded
- Hemoglobin 2 9.0 g/dL or higher
- Absolute neutrophil count 2 1.5 x 10^9/L or higher
- Absolute lymphocyte count 2 1.0 x 10^9/L or higher
- Platelet count 2 75 x 10^9/L or higher
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 2 45 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or higher
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
- Successful tumor localization by screening angiogram allowing Y-90 delivery without venous shunting
You will not qualify if you...
- Any contraindication to angiography or selective renal artery catheterization
- Arterial flow to gastrointestinal tract uncorrectable by angiographic techniques
- Poor tumor targeting on angiography that prevents adequate dosing
- Excessive non-tumoral kidney tissue exposure decreasing GFR below 45 mL/min/1.73 m^2
- Renal venous shunting visible on angiography
- Metastases outside kidney including enlarged abdominal lymph nodes or lung nodules
- Brain metastases, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, or spinal cord compression
- Tumor invasion into renal vein, artery, or collecting system
- Prior abdominal radiation therapy including to index tumor
- Concurrent RCC treatment or recent treatment within 6 months unless observational or prior randomization
- History of active immunodeficiency
- Presence of renal ureteral stent in treatment kidney
- History of other malignancies within 3 years except select low-risk cancers
- Major surgery within 28 days before enrollment
- Severe allergy or intolerance to contrast agents, narcotics, sedatives, or atropine
- Active infection
- Pregnant or breastfeeding females, or females unwilling to use birth control
- Unstable chronic diseases or conditions increasing risk or limiting study compliance
- Pulmonary insufficiency with oxygen saturation below 90%
- Solitary kidney
- Inability to comply with study requirements or protocol
