Filter by:The goal is to study the impact of functional MRI and CT evaluation of changes in tumor vessels induced by anti-angiogenic treatment in patients with metastatic RCC. The hypothesis is that good responders and poor responders will have different responses induced by anti-angiogenic treatment, and that the detection of theses changes by functional imaging can improve the therapeutic management. Functional CT and MRI will be performed in 200 patients before the beginning of antiangiogenic treatment, 7 days after and every 6 week until tumor progression (as defined by the RECIST criteria). Perfusion and diffusion parameters will be measured using a dedicated software.
The Sutent® Observational Study is being proposed to assess the real-world usage patterns and effectiveness and tolerability of treatment of Indian patients with advanced renal cell cancer with Sutent®. Generation of such information is expected to aid everyday clinical decision-making by Indian doctors and will add to the body of generalizable evidence.
Axitinib dose titration (giving a higher dose of the drug above its standard starting dose) among certain patients may improve the response to treatment.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging as a biomarker before and during treatment with sunitinib or bevacizumab plus interferon in patients with RCC. 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging will be regarded a promising biomarker if the target for treatment (VEGF) can be visualised and if uptake changes after institution of treatment.
The purpose of this multicenter, pilot, open-label, Phase II clinical trial is to discover if Everolimus(RAD001) is safe and effective in people who have advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma - RCC). Since 2002, Everolimus has been studied in more than 2500 patients with various types of cancer as a single agent (a drug that is used alone to treat the cancer) or in combination with a number of well known anticancer therapies. Various studies, in animals such as in mice with cancer and in humans with cancer have shown that Everolimus can slow the growth of cancer. Everolimus will be taken in pill form by mouth daily for 3-5 weeks followed by surgery to remove the effected kidney. After 2-4 weeks following the surgery, Everolimus will be resumed at the same dose.
To assess the efficacy and safety of RAD001 (everolimus) in non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to determine if certain features of tumor specimens sampled prior to therapy can predict for the likelihood of responding to everolimus.
This is a first in human study of AGS-16M18 given every week to subjects with advanced renal cell cancer. AGS-16M18 will be administered as a 60 minute IV infusion on consecutive days until the disease worsens.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to the brain.
This is a dose escalation study using the CyberKnife radiotherapy device for small surgical or medically untreatable renal tumors. Patients with renal tumors 5cms or less in diameter will be accrued onto this study. The ability of CyberKnife to ablate these renal tumors and maintain renal function with dose escalation will be assessed.
