The Sonatherm device provides both advanced imaging (ultrasound guidance) and high intensity focused ultrasound to target and ablate tumors. It also does not require piercing the tumor with a needle as does cryotherapy (Cryo) and radiofrequency (RF) ablation. Cryo and RF also have high retreatment rates due the finding of untreated tumor on follow-up imaging. Thus, there is reason to hypothesize that Sonatherm with it's real-time ultrasound imaging feedback could replace RF and Cryo for the treatment of small renal masses where the invasiveness of full resection partial nephrectomy is contraindicated due to patient comorbidities.
Prospective non-interventional non-controlled multicenter observational study to evaluate aspects of pharmaceutical care in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with an oral anti-cancer drug. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the patient perspective in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma with an oral anti-cancer drug. The following aspects will be investigated: - Intrinsic desire for information about treatment. - Patient satisfaction with treatment information. - Patient satisfaction with treatment. - Medication adherence. - Health-related quality of life. - The role of different health care professionals in the treatment of RCC with oral drugs This study should reveal information necessary for the development of pharmacotherapeutic care concepts that meet the needs of cancer patients treated with an oral anti-cancer drug over a long period.
Rationale. In part of the patients with good and intermediate risk metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) the disease course is indolent and immediate start of systemic therapy is not necessary. By now, the investigators are not able to identify those patients with indolent disease and the minor group of patients with rapidly progressive disease. In patients with indolent disease, a watchful waiting period is preferred, since their quality of life will not be unnecessary hampered by adverse events and therapy resistance is not induced. This study aims to identify those patients for whom a watchful waiting period is possible by molecular imaging. Furthermore several types of systemic therapy are possible once the progression is proven. These systemic treatments are comparable in terms of efficacy, but not in terms of toxicity and their impact on quality of life. As a secondary objective, the usefulness of a decision aid guiding the choice of the patients is studied. Objectives. To assess in patients with good or intermediate prognosis mRCC who are eligible for watchful waiting, the added value beyond clinical work-up of: 1. FDG-PET and 89Zr-girentuximab-PET results measured at presentation to predict rapid progression (≤ 2 months after the baseline scan) under watchful waiting. 2. FDG-PET and 89Zr-girentuximab-PET results measured at presentation to predict prolonged indolent (≥12 months after the baseline scan) disease under watchful waiting. To assess the value of a therapy choice decision aid for patients with progressive disease. Study design. This is a multicenter non-blinded prospective observational study in 80 good and intermediate prognosis mRCC patients. Study population. Patients with good or intermediate prognosis mRCC according to the Heng criteria, ≥18 years, without contra-indications for a watchful waiting period, able to provide informed consent. Intervention. At baseline an FDG-PET-CT and 89Zr-girentuximab-PET will be made. During the watchful waiting period, disease evaluation by CT according to the RECIST criteria will be made frequently, until established progressive disease. At that moment, a second FDG-PET-CT and, in case of a positive 89Zr-girentuximab-PET-scan at baseline, a second 89Zr-girentuximab-PET will be performed and the decision aid is used to help the patient to choose their best treatment out of four options; pazopanib, sunitinib, combined interferon-α with bevacizumab and (only in case of a positive 89Zr-girentuximab-PET) radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with 177lutetium labelled girentuximab. Participation in the RIT trial is part of a separate phase II study. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness. At baseline, a 18F-FDG-PET-CT and 89Zr-Girentuximab-PET will be performed. During the watchful waiting period CT's will be made. During therapy, follow-up will include standard laboratory analysis, and CT-scans on regular visits to the outpatient clinic. Side effects of the medication and adverse events as a consequence of the tumor biopsies may occur. The radiation exposure of both PET investigations is acceptable and requires no shielding after injection of 89Zr-labelled girentuximab. Patients may benefit from disease regression or stabilization. All three treatment choices has proven clinical benefit in this patient population. The risks of participation into the RIT trial are described in the phase II trial protocol, which already has been judged by the Medical Ethics Review Committee.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-stage crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Stage I - Pharmacokinetics (Bioequivalence), with an Extension Stage II - Pharmacokinetics (Food Effect) with an Extension This study will enroll approximately 60 subjects in stage I and 60 subjects in stage II with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver for which no standard treatment exists or have progressed or recurred following prior therapy. Subjects must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential where an alternative treatment has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population. Approximately 23 sites in the US and 2 in Canada will participate in this study.
This study will examine the safety profile of SGN-CD70A. The study will test increasing doses of SGN-CD70A given every 3 weeks (or an alternate dosing schedule up to every 6 weeks) to small groups of patients. The goal is to find the highest dose of SGN-CD70A that can be given to patients without causing unacceptable side effects. The pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of SGN-CD70A will also be evaluated.
This study to evaluate treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) which has progressed through 2 to 3 prior lines of therapy, with the investigational drug CRLX101 in combination with bevacizumab compared to treatment with a standard of care therapy. The study will compare which treatment resulted in longer time before progression of the RCC. Patients will be treated and followed for progression of their disease on average for up to 6 months.
100 patients with metastatic and/or advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib (Sutent) will be inclued and followed with standard care plus a call center Principal assumption : the proportion of patients presenting with at least one grade 3 or 4 AE (whether related to sunitinib or not).
This is an international, multi-centre, prospective (partly retrospective), observational study to evaluate treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in patients with advanced or metastatic RCC treated with sunitinib in first line and/or receiving axitinib in second line post sunitinib. The study is designed to enroll approximately 750 patients over the course of an enrollment period of approximately 36 months.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy when combining MK-3475 and INCB024360 in participants with certain cancers. This study was conducted in 2 phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2.
