Filter by:Many patients who are candidates for nephron-sparing surgery, partial nephrectomy is now the standard treatment with a surgical, small, clinical T1 tumor (<7 cm). In many recent studies, partial nephrectomy provides equivalent oncologic, and superior functional, outcomes compared with the standard radical nephrectomy over the short and long term (2, 3). Partial nephrectomy techniques, whether open, laparoscopic or robotic, typically involve hilar clamping, which creates the desired bloodless operative field, allowing for more precise tumor excision and renal reconstruction. This hilar clamping eventually may lead to ischemic kidney injury which can compromise the functional outcomes of the remaining kidney.We are working now to develop a novel technique of Hypo-Perfusion by achieving partial renal arterial clamping, with the goal of completely eliminating surgical ischemia to the renal remnant.
Background: - The drug 18F-VM4-037 is being tested for use in cancer imaging studies. It may help tumor tissue show up more clearly during scans. Researchers want to see how well it works for scans for people who have kidney cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of 18F-VM4-037 during imaging studies of kidney cancer. Eligibility: - Adults at least 18 years of age with kidney cancer that will be treated with surgery. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. - Participants will have two positron emission tomography (PET) scans of their kidneys. They will have the scans before and after receiving an injection of 18F-VM4-037. The scans will take about 2 hours to complete. - About 3 weeks after the PET scans, participants will provide tumor tissue samples from their kidneys. - This is a scanning study only. Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Interleukin-2 at the dose and schedule used in this study will help increase tumor shrinkage.
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety of SGN-75 in combination with everolimus in patients with CD70-positive metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Randomized, double-blind, 2-arm crossover study comparing tivozanib hydrochloride and sunitinib in subjects with metastatic RCC who have received no prior systemic therapy for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC).
will scientifically evaluate whether Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has activity in refractory solid tumors within the context of a phase II clinical study
The purpose of this study is to see how well the study drug, axitinib, helps control renal (kidney) cancer that has come back (recurrent) or spread (metastatic). Patients must have already been treated as a participant in a clinical trial with sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib or placebo (sugar pill) after their initial surgery. This study will examine the effect of adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) therapy (sorafenib, sunitinib or pazopanib) on subsequent exposure to TKI with axitinib in the first-line recurrent or metastatic setting.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if adjuvant therapy with axitinib will prevent or delay the recurrence of renal cell cancer after surgery to remove the primary tumor in high risk patients.
The investigators hypothesize everolimus toxicities are linked to pharmacokinetic variabilities of everolimus. Thus, early detection of clinical or biological risk factors will lead to personalized dosage treatment and permit a better tolerance without altering efficacy.
This is a trial of AGS-003, which is being studied as a possible treatment for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an overall survival (OS) benefit between subjects treated with AGS-003 in combination with standard treatment versus subjects treated with standard treatment alone.
