GU012: SAMURAI Trial — Combining Stereotactic Ablative Radiation and Immunotherapy for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Study Overview:
 GU012 evaluates whether adding stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) to immunotherapy improves tumor control and long-term survival in patients with unresectable metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) compared to immunotherapy alone.

Key Study Details:

  • Phase & Design: Phase II, randomized

  • Population: Patients with metastatic, unresected RCC receiving immunotherapy

  • Treatment Arms: SABR + immunotherapy vs. immunotherapy alone

  • Primary Objective: Improve progression-free survival

  • Why It Matters: Combining precise high-dose radiation with immune-based therapy may improve responses in resistant tumors.
