Filter by:This observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with interferon alpha-2a as first-line treatment in patients with advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Data will be collected from each patient as per routine clinical practice of the Investigator (maximum of 52 weeks, until disease progression /unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent) and/or based on the local label.
Study Design This is a multicenter, open label, first line phase II study in elderly (≥ 65 years old) metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) patients not suitable for any other currently approved treatment (bevacizumab+INF, cytokines or sunitinib) except for sorafenib. Each patient treated with sorafenib enrolled in the study will be trained to observe the management tool for skin care. A study period of 3 years was estimated as follows: an enrollment period of 24 months and a further follow-up period of 12 months. Objectives of the trial Primary objective The primary aim of this trial is the evaluation of the efficacy of a patient education program in the reduction of Hand-Foot Skin Reaction (HFSR). Secondary Objectives TO assess: - The frequency of dose discontinuation, interruption and reduction - The incidence of any grade diarrhoea, and other adverse events - The overall Response Rate according to the RECIST criteria. - Progression free survival (PFR) in study population and comparison of PFS between age sub groups in the current study population
Despite novel treatment options, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) has been characterized by a constant increase in its mortality and consequently requires an important involvement in translational research. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest of CXCL4, CXCL4L1 and CXCR3 as biomarkers in localized, locally advanced or metastatic RCC. Indeed these chemokines have shown anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties in experimental models and may be particularly interesting for prognostic and predictive purposes.
Non-interventional study. Data obtained by patient chart reviews. Retrospective analysis of progression free survival, time to treatment failure and overall survival in a national cohort of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated in Denmark from 2006-2010 Safety, prognostic factors, predictive factors and co-morbidity assessed by Charlson Comorbidity Index. The following drugs will be evaluated: Sunitinib, Sorafenib, Temsirolimus, Everolimus, Aldesleukin, Interferon-alfa-2b.
Longitudinal study nonrandomized, multicenter observational descriptive monitoring patients treated with anti-angiogenic for metastatic kidney cancer
The aim of the study is to determine the MTD of the combination of everolimus plus axitinib in solid tumors, especially RCC.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has its propensity to invade the venous system, with extension into the renal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC) in 23% and 7%, respectively. Despite advances in radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy the reference standard for RCC with tumor thrombus remains surgical resection. However, the 5-year survival rate for patients who have RCC with venous tumor thrombus treated with radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombectomy is only 35% - 45%, despite the developments in surgical technique and perioperative care. Furthermore, even the 5-year survival rate for the patients without the evidence of nodal or distant metastasis at presentation is just 45% - 65%. The outcome prediction for RCC remains controversial, and although many parameters have been tested for prognostic significance, only a few have achieved widespread acceptance in clinical practice. Currently, pathologic stage (T stage), lymph node status (N stage) and histologic grade represent the main prognostic variables in the patients with RCC and venous tumor thrombus. Accordingly, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM classification is regularly revised and, recently, a new 2009 AJCC TNM stage classification system has been proposed. RCC is more prevalent in developed countries, such as Europe and North America. It is relatively less common in Asia; however, the incidence in these regions appears to have risen over the past decade. Recently, a few series have suggested that racial or ethnic differences in survival persist after controlling for age and stage in some cancers. In the case of renal cell carcinoma, it has been demonstrated that the malignancy diagnosed in various ethnic groups had different clinical characteristics: the presenting symptoms, the course of disease, and the outcome after standard treatment varied significantly between patients of Caucasian, Hispanic, African-American, and Asian backgrounds. A recent study has reported that race as well as established factors has an impact on survival in patients with RCC and Asian Pacific Islander ethnicity was predictive of improved overall or cancer specific survival. Up to date, there was sparse data on surgical outcome and prognostic factors of survival after radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy in an Asian population with RCC and venous tumor thrombus, while most studies have been performed in Western countries. The aim of the present study was to address the surgical outcome after radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy and to evaluate the prognostic factors influencing on survival in Korean patients with RCC and tumor thrombus extension into renal vein or IVC, labeled as T3a and T3b-c by the newly revised 2009 AJCC TNM staging system, respectively.
Impact on contrast dose or total volume of contrast required to effectively treat the targeted tumor.
A study of PF-05082566, a 4-1BB agonist monoclonal antibody (mAb), in patients with solid tumors or b-cell lymphomas, and in combination with rituximab in patients with CD20 positive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).
This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter study. Subjects will be stratified by histology (clear cell versus non-clear cell). Enrollment of non-clear cell subjects will be limited to ≤ 30% of the entire study population.
