Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase inhibitor AZD6738 works alone or in combination with olaparib or durvalumab in treating participants with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), urothelial carcinoma, all pancreatic cancers, endometrial cancer, and other solid tumors excluding clear cell ovarian cancer that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other parts of the body. ATR kinase inhibitor AZD6738 and olaparib or durvalumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not known if giving ATR kinase inhibitor AZD6738 with or without olaparib or durvalumab may work better in treating participants with solid tumors.
Generally, in the trials, an observant patient is described as correctly taking 90 to 100% of the prescribed doses. Here, the 80% compliance rate will be the cut-off between observant and non-observant patients. The evaluation methodology is based primarily on a survey of patients with metastatic or locally advanced kidney cancer who have just began an oral treatment protocol. The constitution of this cohort will be made from newly treated patients included by oncologists. The survey consists of implementing a series of questionnaires with each patient of the sample throughout the course of oral cancer care. This series of questionnaires will aim to identify: - the gradient of compliance of the patient with his treatment, - all the factors likely to influence positively or negatively the latter, whether medical, material or socio-economic, - the evolution of patient compliance during their treatment course, - a patient's quality of life index through the standardized quality of life survey form (EORTC - Quality of Life Questionnaire QLQ C30 version 3). - These questionnaires will be supplemented by the medical record data (including information on tolerance and possible drug interactions). The representativeness of the patients surveyed will be established by comparing the statistical characteristics of the surveyed population with those of the aggregate anonymous global data obtained by the two Medical Department of the French Regional Health Insurance of the two regions. From the data compiled by this study, different econometric models of patient behavior will seek to establish, in particular, a relationship between the probability that a given patient will be either non or poorly observant and the various variables proved to be statistically significant.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of aldesleukin when given together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Aldesleukin may stimulate white blood cells to kill kidney cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to avoid recognition by immune cells. Giving aldesleukin and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with kidney cancer.
This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of trigriluzole in combination with nivolumab and pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid malignancies or lymphoma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Trigriluzole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving trigriluzole in combination with nivolumab and pembrolizumab may work better at treating patients with solid malignancies or lymphoma.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery in treating patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, prostate cancer, or kidney cancer. Recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein may block an enzyme needed for tumor cells to multiply and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that bring nutrients to the tumor. Giving recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
This pilot research trial studies the use of the Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Clinical Assay in finding and monitoring kidney cancer. Studying samples of blood and urine from patients with kidney cancer in the laboratory may aid doctors in the early detection of cancer, monitor tumor response to therapy, detect the presence of occult spreading of disease, and identify early return of disease.
This pilot trial studies how well nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin works in treating patients with cancer that as has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced cancer) and that has an abnormality in a protein called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Patients with this mutation are identified by genetic testing. Patients then receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin, which may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mTOR enzyme, which is needed for cell growth and multiplication. Using treatments that target a patient's specific mutation may be a more effective treatment than the standard of care treatment.
The goal of this phase 2 study trial is to evaluate the utility of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG used before and after treatment to diagnose, predict, and evaluate response to therapy in patients with a wide variety of metastatic cancers.
This pilot clinical trial studies perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing patients with kidney tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as perfusion magnetic resonance imaging, may help find and diagnose kidney tumors and predict and monitor a patient's response to treatment.
This randomized clinical trial studies radiation therapy and MK-3475 in treating patients with head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma, or lung cancer that has returned, has spread to other parts of the body, or cannot be removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as MK-3475, may block tumor growth by targeting certain cells and causing the immune system to attack the tumor. Studying the effects of MK-3475 with radiation therapy on the body may help doctors learn whether it may be an effective treatment for these solid tumors.
