Filter by:This randomized Phase III study is to evaluate whether pazopanib compared with placebo can prevent or delay recurrence of kidney cancer in patients with moderately high or high risk of developing recurrence after undergoing kidney cancer surgery.
The study includes the recruitment of patients with advanced renal cells carcinoma and hepatocarcinoma in treatment with sorafenib. Multicenter cohort study. It is a prospective observational study.
Rationale: The introduction of angiogenesis inhibitors, like sunitinib and bevacizumab, has improved the outcome of patients with several types of cancer remarkably. However, their application is hampered by side effects, such as development of hypertension with consequences for renal and cardiac function. Moreover patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors may suffer from weight loss, and insulin sensitivity during treatment appears to change. The treatment with angiogenesis inhibitors, will improve life expectancy of patients with various cancer diagnoses and therefore the clinical relevance of both short term and long lasting adverse events will translate into reduced quality of life. In addition, premature withdrawal of angiogenesis inhibitors due to side effects may result in lower response, shorter duration of response and possibly a shorter survival. Therefore, adequate treatment of above mentioned side effects in patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors is of relevance for the response rate, the duration of progression free survival and overall survival and for quality of life. Mechanistic insight in the pathogenesis of these side effects will help optimizing treatment. Objective: The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sunitinib on endothelial function, insulin sensitivity, renal function and renal blood flow. Study design: Single-centre non randomized observational study Study population: 30 Patients (>18 years old) starting with sunitinib as treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
This is a companion protocol to MD Anderson Cancer Center study 2010-0085 (Sequential Therapy in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Therapy: The "START" Trial). The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if dynamic contrast enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) scans can help researchers learn if the study drug received as part of study 2010-0085 (either everolimus, bevacizumab, or pazopanib) is working.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dovitinib versus sorafenib in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer.
All patients who participate in this study will receive pazopanib. Pazopanib is an oral drug (pill) that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. In this study, the investigators plan to learn more about the way this drug works by using special scans (MRIs and Ultrasounds) to help evaluate how this drug is working on this disease. Approximately 20 people with advanced kidney cancer will be enrolled on this study.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunitinib in non-clear cell type renal cell carcinoma with the exception of pure sarcomatoid carcinoma and collecting duct carcinoma
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare 6 different 2-drug "sequences" of everolimus, bevacizumab, or pazopanib to learn how they may affect metastatic kidney cancer. For the 2-drug sequence, participants will receive 1 of these drugs and may start taking another of these drugs after that. Researchers will also study the safety of these 2-drug sequences.
The aim ist to identify biomarkers in the blood, to indicate early response or early treatment resistance.
The objective of this investigation is to determine the following items in all patients receiving Torisel for a certain period after marketing: 1. Confirmation of efficacy and safety for medical practice use. 2. Investigation of factors that may influence the incidence of adverse events (Particularly priority investigation items). 3. Investigation of the incidence status and the risk factors for interstitial lung diseases.
