3、ical trials are key to generating high-quality evidence to improve patient outcomes.In metastatic renal cell carcinoma,research over the past two decades has resulted in a fourfold increase in median overall survival(Lancet,2024).Most trials are conducted in high-income countries(HICs),limiting the
4、inclusion of diverse patient populations(JCO CCI,2020).Aim:To assess the global distribution of renal cell carcinoma(RCC)clinical trials and identify disparities by country income level.Methodology:EXCLUSION ZONE Queried the National Clinical Trials database for RCC trials enrolling patients between
5、 June 2019 and June 2024,excluding non-interventional,pediatric,and non-RCC trials.Countries were categorized by World Bank Ranking(WBR):high-income countries(HICs),upper-middle-income countries(UMICs),lower-middle-income countries(LMICs),and low-income countries(LICs).Analyses included:Descriptive
6、statistics for trial characteristics(e.g.,histology,phase,stage,etc.)Kruskal-Wallis test for differences by income level Poisson regression to assess links with income,gross national income(GNI),health spending,and RCC burdenResults:A total of 357 eligible trials were identified.Most(N=273;76%)were
