Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well cediranib maleate works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the combination of thalidomide and capecitabine in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and also to determine the safety of the combination.
Immunochemotherapy consisting of IL-2, INF-A, and VBL and 5FU is regarded as the treatment of choice in metastatic renal cell carcinoma. During the period 1996-2000, we evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of this immunochemotherapy, combined with an aggressive surgical approach: nephrectomy before treatment and resection of residual disease. The 3-year survival rate for the entire group and complete responder patients was 30% and 88%, respectively. The side effects were usually moderate and consisted mainly of a flu-like syndrome, headache, nausea, vomiting and depression. Most importantly, there was no drug-related death. Good performance status, absence of bone metastases and prior nephrectomy were associated with higher response rates. Capecitabine is a novel fluoropyrimidine carbamate, orally administered and selectively activated to Fluorouracil by a sequential triple-enzyme pathway in liver and tumor cells. Capecitabine at dose of 2,500mg/m2/d divided equally into two daily doses for 14 days in patients who failed to respond to “standard” immunotherapy achieved a 30% objective response. Toxicity consisted of hand-foot syndrome. Aim of Study: To evaluate efficacy and toxicity of the combination of IL-2, INF-A, VBL and Capecitabine in MRCC
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of recombinant interferon alfa-2b when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma or stage IV kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Recombinant interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Giving azacitidine together with recombinant interferon alfa-2b may kill more tumor cells.
This pilot study will explore the relationship of Ochratoxin A (OTA) levels in patients with upper tract transitional cell (TCC), renal cell, and testicular cancers by measuring levels of OTA in serum and tumor samples. Dietary exposure will also be analyzed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the experimental vaccine G250 with or without IL-2 can produce an immune response in patients with renal cell carcinoma who have had all their cancer removed by surgery.
The purpose of this study is to see if an antibody (cG250) attached to a radioactive substance (Iodine-124) safely detects clear cell renal cancer in patients with kidney tumors scheduled for surgery.
This was a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study of yttrium-90 conjugated chimeric G250 (^90Y-DOTA-cG250) in patients with advanced, measurable clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Study objectives were to determine the safety, targeting, and dosimetry of ^90Y-DOTA-cG250, using indium-111 conjugated chimeric G250 (^111In-DOTA-cG250) as a surrogate, as well as to evaluate the immunogenicity of cG250.
The purpose of this study is to show if vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with peptides or tumor lysate in combination with adjuvant cytokines can induce a measurable immune response in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the clinical effect (objective response rate) of the vaccination regime.
This phase I/II trial will evaluate the bevacizumab/erlotinib combination with the addition of imatinib (Gleevec). The combined inhibition greatly enhances the anti-tumor effects. Although the safety of the bevacizumab/erlotinib/imatinib combination has not yet been demonstrated, the mild to moderate side effects of all of these agents are not predicted to cause prohibitive toxicity. A brief phase I portion will be included in this trial, to optimize doses of the 3 agents prior to proceeding with the phase II trial.
