Read our Kidney Cancer research guide →Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
After robotic-assisted surgery to remove part of a kidney due to cancer, doctors typically prescribe pain medication. This trial is testing whether NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs—common over-the-counter pain relievers like ) are effective at controlling pain without causing unwanted side effects. Half of participants will receive NSAIDs, while the other half will receive the standard pain management approach.
Doctors want to find the safest and most effective way to manage pain after kidney cancer surgery. This medication may help with pain and inflammation, but researchers need to confirm it works well and doesn't cause problems in this specific situation.

After your robotic kidney surgery, you will be randomly assigned to either receive NSAIDs for pain relief or to follow the standard pain management plan your doctor recommends. You will be in the study for about 3 weeks following your surgery. During this time, you will likely have follow-up visits where your medical team checks on your recovery and asks about your pain levels and any side effects you may experience.
