Filter by:It is well known that substantial interindividual variability of CYP3A4/1A2-phenotype activity is an important contributor to individual differences in the sensitivity to the frequently used tyrosine kinase inhibitors sunitinib and erlotinib. This study tests the potential for CYP-phenotyping to predict individual pharmacology and derive dosing algorithms for more tailored treatment of these drugs.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad the combination of two medications, everolimus and bevacizumab, has on kidney cancer. In this clinical trial we are now testing these medications in combination. We think that both together might work better that either drug alone. Importantly, both of these drugs together have been tested in patients with a different type of kidney cancer and patients tolerated the combination well.
The primary objective of this study is to analyse the concentration dopamine and serotonin in thrombocytes of patients with renal cell carcinoma and neuro-endocrine tumours compared to the concentrations of these catecholamines in healthy volunteers. The concentration dopamine and serotonin in thrombocytes with and without medication will also be evaluated.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with interferon alpha 2a in patients with previously untreated metastatic renal cell cancer. Data will be collected from each patient for up to 4 years.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare pazopanib to temsirolimus in the treatment of advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. The safety of each drug will also be studied. Pazopanib is designed to block the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients needed for tumor growth. This may prevent or slow the growth of cancer cells. Temsirolimus is designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may cause cancer cells to die. This is an investigational study. Pazopanib and temsirolimus are both FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of kidney cancer. It is investigational to compare the 2 drugs. Up to 90 patients will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MGA271 when given by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with refractory cancer. The study will also evaluate how long MGA271 stays in the blood and how long it takes for it to leave the body, what is the highest dose that can safely be given, and whether it may have an effect on tumors.
To compare the progression free survival of LY2510924 plus sunitinib therapy versus sunitinib in the first-line setting for patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.
This is a Norwegian prospective registration, observational study of patients with advanced renal cell cancer on Afinitor treatment after failure of one Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) ( e.g. sunitinib or sorafenib). The goal is to document the treatment algorithm of these patients in Norway and the efficacy and tolerability of Afinitor® in a pure 2.line setting.
The primary objectives are: Dose escalation: 1. To determine the MTD and DLT(s) of TH-302 when used in combination with sunitinib. Dose expansion: 1. To make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of TH-302 in combination with sunitinib as determined by the response rate and the progression-free survival in subjects with advanced RCC treated at the RP2D 2. To assess the safety of TH-302 in combination with sunitinib and determine a recommended Phase 2 dose of the combination. The secondary objectives are: Dose expansion: 1. To make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of TH-302 in combination with sunitinib as determined by stable disease or better rate, duration of response and overall survival in subjects with advanced RCC treated at the RP2D. The exploratory objective is: 1. To explore the association of serum hypoxia biomarkers with efficacy endpoints.
Information on the prevalence of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma and its symptom burden is limited in commercially insured patients (age >= 18 years and < 65 years). Additionally, limited information exists on economic burden of adverse events associated with treatments for advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma. An objective of the current study is to estimate the incidence, prevalence, and symptom burden associated with advanced/metastatic RCC in a US "real-world" setting. Another objective is to quantify the economic burden of severe adverse events with agents used in management of first line advanced/metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib). This study will employ a retrospective cohort design. Analyses of health insurance claims data from a large commercially insured population will be employed in the current study. Study subjects will consist of all persons, aged ≥18 years, with evidence of advanced RCC between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009; these persons will be identified based in part on case-ascertainment algorithms. Analyses will be directed at estimating annual rates of incidence and prevalence of advanced/metastatic RCC, as well as symptom burden and costs of common severe adverse events associated with treatments used in management of advanced/metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib).
