Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall response rate (ORR) of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease-associated clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tumors in VHL patients treated with PT2385.
Metastatic renal cell carcinomas (mRCC) are highly angiogenic tumors because of mutation of the pVHL gene leading to over-expression of VEGF. Therefore, mRCC represent a paradigm for the use of anti-angiogenic treatments targeting the VEGF/VEGFR pathway. Despite an increase of the time to progression these treatments, taken alone, are not curative with ineluctable progression especially for the reference treatment sunitinib a multi kinase inhibitors of VEGF, PDGF, CSF1 receptors and c-kit, FLT3 and RET. At progression on sunitinib, patients received mTOR inhibitors which is responsible, at least, of HIF1A mRNA translation, then on a third line sorafenib that inhibits VEGFR2, 3 PDGFR, c-KIT and B-RAF. The access to these different lines of treatment has finally prolonged survival but this situation is not satisfactory. Unexpected aspect associated with the use of anti-angiogenesis treatments was the diversity of the patients' response. Some patients are right away refractory and die rapidly, but the majority of patient has a transient response then progress and a few percentages of them are responder for a very long period of time. By only targeting normal endothelial cells and tumor neo-vascularization, the response should have been more homogenous, thus highlighting that the treatment induced a "Darwinian" adaptation of tumor cells and cells of the microenvironment. Two conclusions follow from these observations: 1- The need to identify predictive markers of efficacy; 2-The identification of druggable targets participating in progression on anti-angiogenic treatments. Our results have highlighted the ELR+CXCL cytokines, pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines as prognosis markers of survival of mRCC patients and relevant therapeutic targets on experimental tumors in mice. As VEGF/VEGFR, these cytokines are produced by tumor, endothelial and inflammatory cells. Their receptors (CXCR1, 2) are expressed physiologically by immune and endothelial cells and aberrantly by tumor cells generating at the same time autocrine proliferation loops, chronic angiogenesis and inflammation. Therefore, the CXCL/CXCR1,2 axis constitutes an independent axis of cancer development and propagation. However, the current standard of care is to administer anti-angiogenic therapies as the first line treatment. The objective of this project is linked to the identification of potent predictive markers of efficacy, easily measured in plasma samples. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms associated with the production of such cytokines by tumor cells and by cells of the microenvironment represents an interesting intellectual challenge and a relevant way to improve the current treatments by targeting, at progression on the current standard of care, other pathways than the VEGF/VEGFR axis.
This research study is investigating a drug as a possible treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The intervention involved in this study is TAK-228.
This is a nation-wide retrospective observational study which will be performed in 50 centres in Spain, geographically representative of all regions, with at least 5 patients treated with first-line pazopanib for mRCC in daily clinical practice since April 2011 (date of approval of pazopanib in Spain), January 2016. Pazopanib is one of the standard tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) for the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. In our previous SPAZO study, the Spanish Oncologic Genitourinary Group (SOGUG) validated the IMDC prognostic classification for patients receiving first-line pazopanib, and demonstrated the effectiveness of this drug in routine clinical practice. However, in this series of 278 patients, we could not obtain enough information on the effectiveness of pazopanib in special subpopulations such as non-clear cell histologies, and others subgroups, due to a small simple size of each of these subpopulations. On the other hand, after the results of RECORD-1 and AXIS trials, switching to everolimus or axitinib is the current approach for patients who progresses to a first-line TKI. However, these pivotal studies did not include patients treated with first-line pazopanib study because this drug was not available at that time. The results of the SPAZO study also suggested that the effectiveness of second-line targeted therapies (TT) after pazopanib in routine clinical practice is similar to the observed in clinical trials after sunitinib, sorafenib or bevacizumab. In addition, the preliminary results indicated that there are not meaningful differences in the effectiveness of TKI or mTOR inhibitors after pazopanib, when the results are adjusted by the IMDC prognostic classification. However, the IMDC prognostic classification for second-line TT has not yet been validated for patients who receive pazopanib as first-line. In addition our sample size was not large enough to make a comparison of effectiveness between mTOR inhibitors and antiVEGF for each prognostic subgroups of the IMDC. Based on that, the Spanish Oncologic Genitourinary Group has decided to launch the SPAZO-2 study, in which we intend to prolong the follow up of patients included in SPAZO, and to increase the sample size with new patients from new centres, in order to obtain a larger sample in each of the subpopulations of interest, with the objective of obtaining more information about the above questions.
The purpose of this study is to plan for future clinical trials in patients with metastatic urological cancers. Diluted iodinated contrast will be injected intra-tumorally under CT fluoroscopy guidance into bone, lymph node, soft tissue and liver metastases in subjects with metastatic prostate cancer, urothelial carcinoma, or renal cell carcinoma. Pre- and post-injection CT images will be obtained to determine the injection parameters needed for optimal distribution throughout metastases of a given size. A biopsy of the metastatic site will also be obtained to validate expression of the receptor CD155.
The therapeutic scenario of metastatic renal cancer is undergoing a new revolution with the appearance of a novel therapeutic strategy after the antiangiogenic treatments, that is the immunotherapy, in addition to the approval of new active drugs in the following lines of treatment. There are currently two phase III trials in the first line of treatment in metastatic renal cancer that include different combinations of treatment based on immunotherapy. If results of these studies were positive, the therapeutic algorithm would be modified so that the remaining drugs would have to be repositioned within the therapeutic decision scheme. Sunitinib has previously demonstrated its benefit in patients who had failed to prior treatment with cytokines, so it is likely to continue to be effective in patients who have become resistant to treatment with new drugs based on immune checkpoint blockade. This phase II study is developed to evaluate the activity of sunitinib after treatment with immunotherapy-based regimens that are currently being developed within phase III clinical trials.
This is a multi-institution, single-arm phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of SBRT (up to 2 metastatic sites preferentially lung, mediastinum or bone in combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma(with a clear-cell component and at least 1 measurable metastatic lesion that is not being irradiated).
The primary aim of this study is to establish if it is possible for patients who have undergone major body surgery to complete a home based exercise training program and complete the assessments required to measure physical and cognitive function. If the investigators can establish that it is feasible to complete the training and test's then further research can follow using these methods to determine whether it is possible to improve the physical function of older patients undergoing major abdominal surgery in the period following surgery by using a simple exercise regimen that can be carried out at home. By targeting physical function in this way the investigators hope to determine if it is a method for improving frailty and well being. In turn it may also have a positive impact on health service provision.
This is an open-label, multi-center, randomized, Phase 1b, adaptive, clinical study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary therapeutic activity of RO6874281 in combination with atezolizumab with/without bevacizumab in participants with unresectable advanced and/or metastatic RCC. The study will consist of a dose-escalation part and an extension part.
The study will examine which differences there are in comorbidity and complications collected retrospectively from medical records compared with data collected prospectively in two groups of patients undergoing either radical cystectomy or radical nephrectomy. Hypothesis is that he prevalence of registered comorbidity and minor complications in patients who have undergone radical cystectomy or nephrectomy, will increase if the data collection is focused and prospective, compared with retrospectively collected data. The study will be conducted as a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Patients included in the study will be randomized to either control or intervention in the ratio 1:1. There are two groups of patients: Patients admitted to radical cystectomy and patients admitted to radical nephrectomy, due to cancer.
