Filter by:This is an open-label, single-arm, Phase 1b/2 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of milademetan in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors with confirmed homozygous CDKN2A loss and WT TP53 who have progressed on or are refractory to prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy and who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are unlikely to tolerate or derive clinically meaningful benefit from other therapy. This study will determine the recommended dose of milademetan when given in combination with atezolizumab (the combination RP2D) using a dose de-escalation safety assessment cohort (Phase 1b). Following identification of the combination RP2D, the safety profile and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination RP2D will be evaluated in a larger population in a dose expansion cohort (Phase 2).
This project will develop and pilot test social support intervention for an underserved population, Hispanics in Arizona, who have high rates of kidney and liver cancer to improve health equity. The investigators will incorporate caregivers (family members) and other individuals in a patient's social network in survivorship, who are especially critical to quality cancer care. Caregivers provide more than half the care to cancer survivors and are often instrumental in facilitating the survivor to receive the care needed and adhere to guidelines. Through this project, the investigators will be able to leverage the resources of the Cancer Heath Equity Research Center (e.g., community outreach) to develop an intervention that has the potential for scalability and reach and recruit a sufficient sample across the target catchment area (including rural participants who may live near the US-Mexico border).
The purpose of this research is to test the response of study participants' tumor to pembrolizumab alone, and in combination with axitinib, and to see what effects (good and bad) these drugs have on patients with advanced kidney cancer.
The aim of this study is to see whether the combination of 3 drugs (axitinib, avelumab and palbociclib) is safe and effective in slowing down the growth of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) in patients that have not received any prior systemic treatment. The names of the study drug involved in this study are/is: - Axitinib - Avelumab - Palbociclib
Bexmarilimab treatment has demonstrated tolerable safety profile and anticancer efficacy in some subjects with advanced malignancies. This is the first study to investigate the effect of single neoadjuvant dose of anti-CLEVER-1 antibody bexmarilimab prior to radical surgery of renal cell and colon cancers. We expect that the single dose will demonstrate measurable effects on the tumour immunological microenvironment as well as systemic effects on subject´s immunological status and that this evidence may be used to guide future neoadjuvant studies. There will be a dose escalation to investigate the effect of different doses of bexmarilimab. In addition to subjects receiving single neoadjuvant dose of bexmarilimab, there will be an observational cohort without Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) for either cancer. All patients participating in the study (whether in investigational or observational cohort) will attend each visit and are assessed for the same endpoints.
This clinical trial studies the effects of occupational therapy fatigue management in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Many patients diagnosed with cancer experience cancer-related fatigue. These patients that are also on immunotherapy can experience added distressing fatigue that impacts their daily lives. Occupational therapy uses a client-centered and holistic approach to work collaboratively with patients to assess fatigue and develop strategies to manage each individual's specific needs. Fatigue-based management is a fundamental component of occupational therapy rehabilitation regimens. This trial may help patients address and reduce their fatigue.
It is nowadays well established that the immune system can profoundly influence disease outcome in cancer patients. Increasing evidence is indeed showing that patients displaying spontaneous T cell-mediated immune response against their tumor (defined as immune surveillance) have higher chance to respond to therapies and display globally better prognosis. Conversely, patients whose tumor is characterized by immunosuppression, usually involving myeloid cells and chronic inflammation pathways, often undergo rapid progression and rarely benefit from therapy. Hence, capturing the immune features of individual tumors can help to predict disease course and tailor the therapeutic workup in clinical setting.
This trial investigates whether an online intervention, iConquerFear, can reduce fear of cancer coming back (recurrence) and anxiety in patients with renal cell carcinoma that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread (localized). This intervention is an online adaptation of a highly effective face-to-face treatment for fear of recurrence that teaches strategies for: controlling worry and excessive threat monitoring, modifying unhelpful beliefs about worry, developing appropriate monitoring and screening behaviors, addressing cancer-related existential change, promoting values-based goal setting, and reducing uncertainty by providing information about cancer and treatment. The information learned may help others with renal cell carcinoma who also have a fear of cancer recurrence.
T Cell Receptor-engineered T-cell therapy (TCR T-cell therapy) offers a potentially transformative approach to treating cancer, but is currently limited by the lack of known targets (Maus and June, 2016; Ping et al., 2018). Arguably the most clinically meaningful way to discover new targets and TCRs for TCR T-cell therapy is to study the tumorinfiltrating lymphocytes of patients that are actively responding to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. These T cells are clonally expanded as a result of checkpoint inhibition and are responsible for the patient's clinical response. The goal of this study is to acquire tumor and blood samples from up to 40 patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) malignancies who respond to ICI therapy. T cells will be isolated from these samples and the targets of their TCRs determined using TScan's genome-wide, high-throughput target ID technology. The expected outcome of this study is the discovery of a collection of new targets for TCR T-cell therapy, along with associated TCRs that will then be developed as novel therapies for patients with similar malignancies.
The purpose of the protocol is to assess the Overall Survival (OS) at 1 year in patients after cabozantinib initiation.
