Filter by:This is a study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus in Asian patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. The trial is only being conducted in Japan, Korea, and China.
Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to make sorafenib available for patients with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma, who have failed prior systemic therapy for advanced disease (i.e. requiring second line treatment), and who do not have access to or are not eligible for other clinical trials with sorafenib and who may benefit from treatment with sorafenib. Patients will be treated orally with 400 mg bid sorafenib on a continuous basis and as a single agent. Patients may continue treatment until Disease Progression, intolerable toxicity, the patients chooses to withdraw consent or the patient is unlikely to benefit any further from treatment. Overall, participation in the study will help determine the following: - Find out if patients receiving Sorafenib will live longer - Find out if Sorafenib helps to slow the worsening of kidney cancer - Find out if Sorafenib has an effect on the tumours
RATIONALE: Interleukin-7 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-7 in treating patients with metastatic melanoma or locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.
RATIONALE: Sorafenib 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. Giving sorafenib after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sorafenib is more effective than a placebo in treating kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying sorafenib to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating patients at risk of relapse after undergoing surgery to remove kidney cancer.
This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining bevacizumab with sunitinib relative to placebo with sunitinib in patients with metastatic RCC who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. The study will enroll approximately 100 patients at approximately 20 centers in the United States.
Primary Objective: - To determine the clinical activity of Pemetrexed + Gemcitabine in non-clear cell renal cell cancer (RCC). Clinical activity will take into account response rate and progression free survival (PFS). Secondary Objectives: - To determine the toxicity of Pemetrexed + Gemcitabine in non-clear cell RCC. - To estimate the survival rate of patients with non-clear cell RCC treated with this combination.
Objectives: Primary: Evaluate clinical outcome based on the time to skeletal events after bone-targeted therapy Secondary: 1. Evaluate clinical outcome based on the presence of calcification at the site of osteolytic metastases 2. Measure bone-formation and resorption markers at baseline and during bone-targeted therapy. 3. Assess effect of the bone-targeted regimen on serum cholesterol levels
RATIONALE: Talabostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well talabostat works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
This study is designed to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ABT 869 in the treatment of subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have previously received treatment with sunitinib.
This is a Phase 2 clinical trial to collect data on tumor responses produced by folate-hapten conjugate therapy (vaccination with EC90 [KLH-FITC] and GPI-0100 adjuvant followed by treatment with EC17 (folate-FITC) in combination with low-dose cytokines in patients with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma. All patients will undergo imaging with the investigational imaging agent 99mTc-EC20 (FolateScan) during the screening period to confirm eligibility for the treatment portion of the clinical trial.
