Filter by: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.
Surgical treatment of multiple or recurrent renal tumors may be complicated by renal function impairment. Mini-invasive thermotherapy as radiofrequency (RF), induces necrosis of tumoral tissue while sparing normal renal parenchyma. The purpose of the study is to compare, in patients at risk of renal insufficiency, a strategy based on surgical approach and a strategy based on RF approach. 180 patients from 9 centers will be randomized in two groups (surgical vs. RF, delivered either percutaneously or under laparoscopy). The proportion of patients with a local carcinologic efficacy at 5 years and the general and renal tolerance will be analysed and compared between both strategies.
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.
In this phase II trial, we plan to evaluate the combination of Tarceva and Avastin in the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This trial will be one of the first phase II trials to evaluate a combination of targeted agents in the treatment of a common solid tumor with a strong biologic rationale based on Cancer Biology (VHL/HIF/VEGF/EGFr).
RATIONALE: When irradiated donor lymphocytes are infused into the patient they may help the patient's immune system kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving irradiated donor lymphocytes works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
This was a Phase I/II, single-center, dose-escalation study. 177-Lutetium-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid-cG250 (177-Lu-DOTA-cG250) was administered at a starting dose of 30 mCi/m^2 of 177-Lu (fixed dose of 10 mg cG250) and escalated in increments of 10 mCi/m^2 of 177-Lu in sequentially enrolled cohorts according to a standard 3 + 3 design until determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The primary objectives were to determine the safety, targeting, and dosimetry of 177-Lu-DOTA-cG250 in subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma. The secondary objective was measurement of tumor response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0.
The purpose of this study is to find out if renal cell (kidney) cancer that has spread to other parts of the body will respond to treatment with motexafin gadolinium (MGd).
This is an international, open label, randomized phase 3 trial in which patients with surgically removable kidney cancer will be randomly selected post-operatively to receive adjuvant treatment with autologous HSPPC-96 or no adjuvant treatment. All patients will undergo complete surgical removal of their tumors.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a specialised nuclear medicine procedure that uses positron emitting radiolabeled tracer molecules to measure biological activity. The most common of these radiolabeled tracers is 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), which is used to determine abnormal glucose metabolism in tumours and other sites. It has general applications in all areas where abnormal glucose metabolism may be present including in circumstances such as differentiating the tumour from scar tissue; evaluating the presence of the tumour in light of rising tumour markers and normal morphological imaging techniques; and assessing response to therapy where other techniques are deemed to be unhelpful. The Cross Cancer Institute has recently been funded to establish a PET centre, and this study will evaluate the effectiveness, value and safety of PET scanning in a number of uncommon cancers in the Canadian health care environment.
