Filter by:This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.
All patients will receive IL-2 (14 planned doses with an additional cycle 14 days after the first). Responding patients with regressing disease are eligible for up to 6 IL-2 cycles. Patients assigned to SBRT arm will receive two doses of SBRT on the Wednesday and Friday before the Monday on which IL-2 starts.
PART 1: The primary objective of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-3795, formerly called PT2385 and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MK-3795 in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). PART 2: The primary objective of this study is to identify the MTD of MK-3795 up to the RP2D, in combination with nivolumab, in patients with advanced ccRCC.As of Amendment 09 (29 Mar 2024), participants with advanced ccRCC will transition from MK-3795 to belzutifan (MK-6482) in combination with nivolumab or belzutifan alone. PART 3: The primary objective of this study is to identify the MTD of MK-3795 up to the RP2D, in combination with cabozantinib tablets, in patients with advanced ccRCC.
This randomized pilot early phase I trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab alone works compared to nivolumab with bevacizumab or ipilimumab before surgery in treating patients with kidney cancer, also referred to as renal cell cancer, that has spread to another place in body and can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, bevacizumab, and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The goal of this phase II clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the completely non-invasive treatment option of stereotactic radiation therapy for the treatment of biopsy proven and growing small renal tumors.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how effective ablation is for destroying tumor cells in the kidney and whether quality of life is improved for patients. Participation in ARMOR may involve retrospective data collection only, combined retrospective and prospective data collection, or prospective data collection
Usually, doctors monitor kidney cancer with CT scans to measure the size of tumors. Sometimes, even when a drug is working, it can take several months before the effects are seen on a regular CT scan. The purpose of this study is to see if a new kind of scan, called 124I-cG250 PET/CT, can determine response to sunitinib or pazopanib earlier than a regular CT scan. Research has shown that certain proteins in the blood, called antibodies, can attach themselves to cancer cells without binding to normal cells. In this study, an antibody is used called chimeric G250 (cG250) that is attached to a radioactive isotope. The radioactive isotope in this study is Iodine-124 (124I). If cG250 has attached to tumors in the body, 124I shows up on the PET scan.
The Objective is to determine if renal hypothermia during open partial nephrectomy results in improved post-operative renal function compared to warm ischemia. Primary Aim is to determine the effect of hypothermia on preservation of overall renal function compared to no hypothermia in patients who require hilar vessel clamping during open partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor. Hypothesis: Hypothermia will result in improved post-operative preservation of overall renal function. Secondary Aim is to determine the effect of hypothermia on preservation of affected renal function (kidney with the tumor) compared to no hypothermia in patients who require hilar vessel clamping during open partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor. Hypothesis: Hypothermia will result in improved post-operative preservation of affected renal function.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if 14 weeks of pazopanib therapy prior to surgery (nephrectomy) is of benefit to patients with metastatic renal cancer. Ninety-five patients will be recruited into his study.
The goal of this study is to understand factors which may influence risk for colorectal and other cancers in families. These factors include genetic variability, in combination with diet and lifestyle. In order to achieve these goals, we need to contact as many eligible participants as possible.
