Filter by:RATIONALE: Bortezomib 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 bortezomib works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to examine the safety, feasibility, immunological response, and clinical antitumor activity of multiple administrations of dendritic cell Immunotherapeutic to patients with newly diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer
This trial has two parts. The purpose of the first part of the trial is to determine the doses of 2 drugs, sunitinib malate and interferon alfa-2b, that can be given safely in combination. This part is currently closed to enrollment. The purpose of the second part of the trial is to see if sunitinib malate given on a 4/2 schedule (4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off treatment cycle) is any better at delaying progression of renal cell cancer than sunitinib malate given on a continuous dosing schedule. The trial will also determine the number of patients whose cancer responds to the treatments, whether life of patients can be extended, what the side effects are of the treatments, how bothersome disease or treatment-related symptoms are to patients, and whether tests can be found that will predict which patients may or may not respond to these treatments in the future.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the safety, tolerability and distribution of CNTO 328 in the bloodstream.
RATIONALE: A peripheral stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant from a brother or sister may be an effective treatment for kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well a donor peripheral stem cell or bone marrow transplant works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory metastatic kidney cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn if a vaccine made from the patient's own tumor cells, then genetically modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), will delay or stop the growth of the tumor. It will also look at the vaccine's effects on the immune system and the side effects of giving a vaccine made from a subject's own cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine how effective and safe a new investigational drug is in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The treatment involves daily dosing. A patient may continue to receive the treatment as long as they are benefiting from the treatment. Blood samples will be taken at specific times to measure the amount of drug in your body at specific times after the drug is given. Blood samples will also be taken for lab tests such as complete blood counts and clinical chemistries. Physical exams will be performed before each treatment. During the treatment phase, the patients will undergo regular assessments for safety and clinical response.
To determine the objective tumor response of single-agent SU011248 at a dose of 50 mg orally once daily for 4 consecutive weeks and 2 weeks rest, repeated every 6 weeks in patients with metastatic Renal Cell Cancer (RCC).
Phase II, multi-center, two-stage study utilising a randomised discontinuation design to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GW786034 (pazopanib) in adult subjects with locally recurrent or metastatic clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). After the interim analysis, the design was changed to an open label, single arm study with all subjects receiving pazopanib.
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, and radiation therapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving fludarabine together with total-body irradiation works in treating patients who are undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for metastatic kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
