Filter by:The primary purpose is to monitor the safety and tolerability and effectiveness of sunitinib malate in the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor among filipino patients in usual clinical practice setting.
Therapy with Interleukin-2 stimulates lymphocytes in humans to become Lymphokine-activated Killer cells (LAK). This study will determine if these killer cells are able to kill certain standard cell-lines in the laboratory.
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a simple non-invasive method to screen patients for potential kidney tumors.
Primary Hypothesis: The therapy with Sunitinib represents better cost-effectiveness than IFN-α in first-line treatment for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) in Central America and Caribbean countries
This is a Phase I study; dose escalating the combination of pazopanib when taken daily and ixabepilone when administered on day 1 of a 3 week treatment course.
The safety and tolerability of CVX-060 have been established in the first-in-human clinical trial, CVX-060-101. Thus, this phase Ib/II trial is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of combining CVX-060 with sunitinib in patients with advanced solid tumors, and to subsequently assess the treatment efficacy of the combination treatment, as well as that of sunitinib alone in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and effectiveness of lenalidomide (CC-5013) administered in combination with sunitinib as treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool to track tumor growth for renal cell carcinoma while participants are on clinical treatment therapy of sunitinib and AMG386. An MRI is a type of scan that uses powerful magnets to make clearer images or to focus on detailed medical information in the abdomen and pelvis. The imaging done for this study will use the arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI technique that allows us to see blood flow changes which possibly may indicate changes in tumor growth. Participants will be on a clinical trial for the treatment.
One third of patients with kidney cancer are diagnosed in the metastatic stage, and among patients with a localized form, about 30 to 40% will develop metastases after surgery. Medical treatment of metastatic renal cancer include immunotherapy with interferon α and/or IL-2, or targeted therapies such as anti-angiogenic (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), anti-tyrosine kinase inhibitors and m-TOR). These treatments sometimes associated (or IL2 + INF or INF AntiVEGF) do allow for objective response in 15 to 30% of cases (net benefit of targeted therapies), but are carriers of potentially significant side effects and are very expensive. The treatment response is considered on imaging exams repetitive, costly and inconsistently reliable. A serum marker of tumor development would be particularly welcome. CA9 is an oncogene also know as CA IX, carbonic anhydrase 9 or MN/CA9. The gene encoding an oncoprotein called indifferently membrane antigen MN, MN/CA9 isoenzyme, carbonic anhydrase IX CA9, G250/MN/CA9 or protein G250. It was demonstrated that the level of expression of CA9 in tumor tissue can be used as a predictive marker of response to immunotherapy. In previous studies, the investigators tried to use CA9 to improve the differential diagnosis of kidney tumors using tumor biopsy or fine needle aspiration. More recently, the investigators have developed the ELISA and quantitative reat time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to study the CA9 protein and CA9 mRNA in the serum of patients with non-metastatic kidney cancer. The investigators have thus shown that CA9 was overexpressed prior to surgery and that this expression disappeared after tumor ablation.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cediranib maleate when given together with whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving cediranib maleate together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
