This study is being done to analyze the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of treatment for advanced melanoma (MEL) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using combination regimens of pembrolizumab + pegylated interferon alfa-2b (PegIFN-2b) and pembrolizumab + ipilimumab (IPI). The primary hypothesis is that these combinations will be sufficiently well-tolerated to permit continued clinical investigation.
The purpose of this study is the evaluation of dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (Perfusion-CT) for therapeutic response predicition in patients with metastasized renal carcinoma (mRCC) undergoing antiangiogenetic therapy (AAT) with multikinase inhibitors. In this study patients with mRCC under AAT will be examined with 3 serial Perfusion - CT scans - partially intergrated in their regular staging CT scheme - at baseline (before AAT start), 1 week after AAT as well as 8 weeks after AAT initialization. Thereby selected intrabdomial or intrathoracic metastases will be monitored longitudinally with perfusion CT. Pretreament and post-treament perfusion characteristics of the assessed metastatic lesions will be quantified and correlated with patient outcome.
The purpose of this study is to find a recommended schedule and dose range for Emibetuzumab when given with ramucirumab that may be safely given to participants with cancer. In Part A of this study, escalating doses of Emibetuzumab will be given in combination with a fixed dose of ramucirumab to evaluate the safety of the combination. After a recommended schedule and dose range of Emibetuzumab and ramucirumab has been established, Part B of the study will confirm safety and to see how well certain tumors respond to the combination of study drugs. The average amount of time on study is expected to be about 6 months.
This pilot study will aim to determine whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be captured using the novel cMET based ferrofluid. The primary objective of this pilot study will be to describe the numbers of c-MET expressing cells that can be detected by the c-MET CTC capture technique. These data will be separated by disease site. The investigator will also describe the detection rates of both the c-MET CTC capture and the EpCAM CTC capture techniques in each patient, also separated by disease site.
Dose escalation part: to determine the highest dose of alpelisib administered on a daily basis when given in combination with daily everolimus or in combination with daily everolimus and exemestane. Dose expansion part: To describe safety and tolerability of the alpelisib and everolimus or alpelisib, everolimus and exemestane combinations.
Renal cancer has traditionally been treated by surgical removal of the tumor, as the tumors are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. The traditional treatment, where the entire kidney and tumor were removed through an abdominal incision, may now have more long term problems than the actual cancer. As a result, less invasive techniques have been developed such as laparoscopic surgery where the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide (i.e. via an insufflation system) and the surgery performed with special instruments through small ports, known as trocars. Rapid advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques demand ongoing technological improvement. Conventional insufflators and trocars allow for laparoscopic surgery to occur, however the system does not account for pressure changes within the abdomen when instruments are inserted or removed. The AirSeal® System consisting of an insufflation, filtration, and recirculation system (AirSeal® IFS), a triple lumen filtered tube set, and a valve free trocar (AirSeal® Access Port) has been designed to create and maintain the pressure barrier throughout the procedure. The objective of this study is to collect comparative physiological, pulmonary compliance and surgical utility data for both the AirSeal® System and conventional insufflators and trocars in a controlled population undergoing laparoscopic/robotic renal or peri-renal procedures. Subjects enrolled in this study will have their procedure performed using either the AirSeal® System or a conventional insufflator and trocars. Both systems have been cleared for use by the FDA's 510(k) process and are currently employed in clinical practice, including at University of California, Irvine Medical Center. We hypothesize that with the use of the AirSeal® System, laparoscopic efficiencies and outcomes will be significantly greater than with the conventional insufflator and trocars system.
Many tumor cells, in contrast to normal cells, have been shown to require the amino acid glutamine to produce energy for growth and survival. To exploit the dependence of tumors on glutamine, CB-839, a potent and selective inhibitor of the first enzyme in glutamine utilization, glutaminase, will be tested in this Phase 1 study in patients with solid tumors. This study is an open-label Phase 1 evaluation of CB-839 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation study enrolling patients with locally-advanced, metastatic and/or refractory solid tumors to receive CB-839 capsules orally twice or three times daily. In Part 2, patients with each of the following diseases will be enrolled: A) Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, B) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (adenocarcinoma), C) Renal Cell Cancer, D) Mesothelioma, E) Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient tumors, F) Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), G) SDH-deficient non-GIST tumors, H) tumors harboring mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) or IDH2, and I) cMyc mutation tumors. As an extension of Parts 1 & 2, patients will be treated with CB-839 in combination with standard chemotherapy. Combination groups include: Pac-CB, CBE, CB-Erl, CBD, and CB-Cabo. Pac-CB: patients with locally-advanced or metastatic TNBC will be treated with paclitaxel and CB-839. CBE: patients with advanced clear cell RCC or papillary RCC will be treated with everolimus in combination with CB-839. CB-Erl: patients with advanced NSCLC lacking the T790M EGFR mutation will be treated with erlotinib and CB-839. CBD: patients with NSCLC harboring KRAS mutation will be treated with docetaxel and CB-839. CB-Cabo: patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally-advanced, inoperable or metastatic RCC treated with cabozantinib in combination with CB-839. All patients will be assessed for safety, pharmacokinetics (plasma concentration of drug), pharmacodynamics (inhibition of glutaminase), biomarkers (biochemical markers that may predict responsiveness in later studies), and tumor response.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn more about the safety of giving sunitinib to patients with metastatic kidney cancer for 2 weeks followed by 1 week in which they receive no drug. Researchers want to learn more about the side effects of the drug and the effects of a different dosing schedule.
An estimated 10,000 metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients receive first-line therapy in the Russian Federation. Bevacizumab (Avastin) in combination with interferon-alpha (IFN) is a recommended first-line treatment for metastatic RCC according to clinical recommendations of Russian Ministry of Health from 15.07.2010. Two randomized phase III trials (AVOREN, CALGB) showed that 50% of patients will progress on bevacizumab plus IFN within 8.5 - 10.2 months and will need sequential therapy. Everolimus (Afinitor) is a single agent which was evaluated and demonstrated efficacy in randomized phase III study (RECORD-1) in metastatic RCC patients after failure of targeted therapy. However, in this trial everolimus was compared with placebo for the treatment of patients whose disease had progressed on treatment with sunitinib or sorafenib (n=227). Only 9% (n=24) of patients received bevacizumab. Thus, efficacy data of everolimus in patients with disease progression on first-line bevacizumab is limited. Evaluating the effectiveness of everolimus in metastatic RCC patients with failure on bevacizumab with/without interferon alpha has a scientific and practical sense, and it is important for Russian Federation.
