Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of immunotherapy nivolumab and the targeted therapy cabozantinib prior to removal of the kidney, will increase the number subjects who are without any visible kidney cancer in their body at some point during the course of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerance of one year of ketogenic diet associated with vitamin supplementation in patients treated for a metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
This study aims at estimating the proportion of patients diagnosed with locoregional renal cell carcinoma who are at high risk for recurrence following nephrectomy, describe referral patterns, and characterize treatment in this population. Outcomes including estimation of the incidence of recurrence and disease-free interval following nephrectomy will be reported overall and among the subgroup off patients receiving adjuvant systemic therapy with sunitinib following nephrectomy.
This is a Phase 1b/2 study of AVB-S6-500 designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AVB-S6-500 in combination with cabozantinib, AVB-S6-500 in combination with cabozantinib and nivolumab and AVB-S6-500 monotherapy in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The phase 1b portion of the study is open label and patients with advanced ccRCC who had progressed on or after at least one prior line of treatment will receive AVB-S6-500 + cabozantinib. Two dose levels will be evaluated. The Phase 2 portion of the study is open-label 3-part study to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of AVB-S6-500 + cabozantinib, AVB-S6-500 + cabozantinib + nivolumab, and AVB-S6-500 alone.
Every year, 12500 primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are diagnosed in France. Metastases occur in half of RCC patients. Management of metastatic RCC is based on systemic treatments (targeted therapies/immunotherapy). However, resistance to systemic treatment is frequent. In case of progression, usual therapeutic attitude is initiating another systemic therapy. Because of the emergence of resistant tumor clonal cells, some patients progress only on few sites while the rest of tumor burden is controlled. In this setting named oligoprogressive disease [isolated progression of <3-5 metastase(s)], ablative treatments of these evolving metastatic sites could allow a disease control and a reduced risk of new metastases occurrence by tumor-cell reembolization. Such strategy is challenging to prolong ongoing systemic treatment and delay further lines. Although RCC was considered radioresistant and radiotherapy with conventional fractionation was mainly used for palliation of symptoms, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), by delivering high dose in one or few fractions, allows local control for about 90% of RCC metastases through various radiobiological pathways. Furthermore, some data suggest that high-dose focal irradiation of RCC could induce a systemic antitumor response mediated by immunologic effectors(1). This phenomenon ("abscopal effect") could be enhanced in patients under immunotherapy, including anti-PD1. Several retrospective studies and one non-randomized phase-II study highly suggest the interest of SRT as focal ablative treatment in RCC oligometastases with excellent local control rates and low toxicity(2,3). Furthermore, the multicentric retrospective study the sponsor recently conducted within the GETUG group among 101 metastatic RCC patients with oligoprogression under systemic therapy highlighted that SRT on progressive sites provided a median of 8.6-month progression-free survival and allowed to continue current systemic line for 10.5 months. However, to date, there are no prospective data assessing the interest of SRT for management of oligoprogressive metastatic RCC. The sponsor aim to prospectively evaluate the interest of SRT as a therapeutic strategy for local control of oligoprogressive metastatic RCC under ongoing systemic treatment, and consequently delay subsequent systemic treatment.
Kidney cancer is a highly malignant disease with 950 new cases every year in Denmark. Diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancer patients presents many challenges because that early stages of the disease are often asymptomatic and the disease is thus often at advanced stage or even metastatic when discovered. Metastasis is a predictor of bad prognosis, because the presence of metastases excludes the possibility of curative treatment (surgery). Systemic (medical) treatment is used for metastatic disease. It is of increasing importance to monitor how patients are responding to the treatment and switch to a different product if the tumor is not responding. Improved methods for detection of metastatic lesions would be of great advantaged for the clinicians in order to select the optimal treatment strategy for the patients. In the present study we aim to identify tumor markers in the blood and more specific we want to investigate whether circulating tumor-DNA can be used as a biomarker for monitoring the development of the disease during and after treatment. We want a better understanding of the tumor's heterogeneity and development. Furthermore we want to evaluate the diagnostic value of dual time FDG- PET/CT for the detection of bone and lymph node metastases in patients with kidney cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of INCB099318 in select solid tumors.
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in characterizing the molecular subtypes of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) to potentially inform prognosis and treatment decisions. Participants: Seventeen subjects diagnosed with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) will be imaged in a single session on PET-MRI. Procedures (methods): The investigators will image 17 ccRCC subjects on simultaneous PET-MRI and quantify the metabolically-active fraction of the tumor from images. Ten core samples will be taken from each tumor post-surgery and classified as ccA or ccB subtype using transcriptome analysis. The imaging-based measures will be correlated with the fraction of tumor cores classified as ccB.
The recent introduction of anti-PD-1 (nivolumab and pembrolizumab) and anti- PD-L1 (atezolizumab, durvalumab, avelumab) immune checkpoint inhibitors revolutionized oncological guidelines. Durable responses and prolongation of survival with these agents come at the price of the development of immune related adverse events (irAEs). Innovative tools are required in order to manage irAEs and to prevent their potential relapse, with the goal to improve the outcome of patients. In this regard, the Investigators aim to develop a multidisciplinary clinical pathway for cancer patients that are treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
The study designed is to evaluate the safety of Canady Helios™ Cold Plasma Scalpel (CHCPS) in patients with solid tumors with carcinomatosis scheduled to undergo surgical resection for cytoreduction. Patients with stage 4 resectable tumors as decided by a multidisciplinary disease management team may be included if the metastatic disease is non-synchronous (e.g. recurrent colorectal carcinoma with hepatic metastasis amenable for surgical resection).. Plasma is an ionized gas typically generated in high-temperature laboratory conditions. Plasma coagulators are currently used routinely as surgical tools with multiple applications that create temperatures between 37° C to 43°C and cause thermal injury. Earlier studies demonstrated the non-aggressive nature of cold plasma. As evidence accumulates, it is becoming clear that low-temperature cold plasma has an increasing role in biomedical applications.
