Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) profiling in subjects diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is hypothesized to be useful in monitoring drug response and predict radiological response. To this end, glycosaminoglycan scores based on longitudinal samples of plasma and urine in prospectively enrolled patients will be correlated to radiological response to first-line therapy based on current standard-of-care. A positive correlation indicates that glycosaminoglycan scores can successfully detect patients that are not responding to treatment before the scheduled follow-up in which radiological imaging is performed. Data on the extent of metastasis (number of metastatic sites) will be collected to assess whether glycosaminoglycans correlate accordingly.
