Filter by:This feasibility study will evaluate how well hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan works in predicting tumor aggressiveness in participants with renal tumors. Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate is a non-radioactive substance with potential usage in the diagnostic imaging of tumors. Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate MRI may help doctors determine non-invasively whether a kidney tumor is a benign tumor or cancer, and if cancer, how aggressive it is. This may help doctors and participants with renal tumors in the future to make better treatment decisions.
Pancreatic metastases are a rare entity. In cases of metastatic renal carcinoma (RCC) it can present as isolated pancreatic metastasis, considering the possibility of surgical resection. Goals: - Define survival after resection of pancreatic cancer metastases renal in a wide range of our country. - Identify predictive survival factors Methods: Retrospective multicenter study in which cases of pancreatic resection due to renal cancer metastases.
PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews will be used to search for articles published from January 1965 to July 2019 using the key words "renal cancer", "lymphocyte to monocyte ratio" and "prognosis". No restrictions to date, language, or article type will be applied. Cohort or observational studies in patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma histopathologically confirmed, with hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) that assessed association between LMR and overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) will be analyzed.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, non-randomized, 4-part Phase 1 trial to determine the safety profile and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of INBRX 106 administered as a single agent or in combination with the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Urological malignancies such as prostate cancer and renal cell cancer in Korean population have been increased due to the aged population and the westernized lifestyles. With the advancement of sequencing technologies, use of genetic mutation profiles in cancer detection and progression has been increased. However, use of circulating tumor DNA in urological malignances have been limited and few studies have been reported. Therefore, we tried to evaluate the usefulness of circulating tumor DNA in detection and monitoring of urological malignancies in Korean population. This study aims to use circulating tumor DNA in plasma and urine for the diagnosis, disease progression monitoring and therapeutic response evaluation. This study plan includes building big databases for circulating tumor DNA of urological malignancies in Korean population and to develop optimized circulating tumor DNA platform.
Radiation therapy has been shown to be very effective at relieving pain caused by bone metastases. However, certain types of cancers such as prostate, breast, kidney, and melanoma can have resistance to radiation, making treatment less successful. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a newer form of focused treatment that gives higher doses of radiation without damage to surrounding organs. It often is used to help control and cure disease, but less commonly as a way to palliate and treat symptoms. This study is looking at using SBRT for the purposes of improving pain caused by bone metastases in prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, and melanoma patients. It is theorized that the higher levels of radiation may be able to combat the resistance some tumour cells have to radiotherapy and provide improved pain response to treatment. The investigators are looking to show that SBRT has a role in helping this group of patients deal with painful bone lesions from their cancer without increasing side effects and toxicity from the radiation treatment.
This phase I trial studies a new imaging technique called FAPi PET/CT to determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPi-46) accumulate in normal and cancer tissues in patients with non-prostate cancer. The research team also want to know whether what they see on PET/CT images represents the tumor tissue being excised from the patient's body. The research team is also interested to investigate another new imaging technique called PSMA PET/CT. Participants will be invited to undergo another PET/CT scan, with the PSMA tracer (68Ga-PSMA-11). This is not required but just an option for volunteer patients. Patients who have not received an 18F-FDG PET/CT within one month of enrollment will also undergo an FDG PET/CT scan. The PET/CT scanner combines the PET and the CT scanners into a single device. This device combines the anatomic (body structure) information provided by the CT scan with the metabolic information obtained from the PET scan. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of, in the case of this research, 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-FAPi, and 18F-FDG (if applicable). Because some cancers take up 68Ga-PSMA-11 and/or 68Ga-FAPi it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse the body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs where it occurs in patient's body. FAP stands for Fibroblast Activation Protein. FAP is produced by cells that surround tumors. The function of FAP is not well understood but imaging studies have shown that FAP can be detected with FAPI PET/CT. Imaging FAP with FAPI PET/CT may in the future provide additional information about various cancers. PSMA stands for Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen. This name is incorrect as PSMA is also found in many other cancers. The function of PSMA is not well understood but imaging studies have shown that PSMA can be detected with PET in many non-prostate cancers. Imaging FAP with PET/CT may in the future provide additional information about various cancers.
Sequential immune apheresis plasma volume escalation cohort study of reduction of soluble Tumor Necrosis Factors Receptors 1/2 (sTNFR1/2), with or without Nivolumab, in patients with inoperable or metastatic solid Tumors. This study evaluates Immunicom fs LW-02 device used with Spectra Optia apheresis system, aiming to answer two different study questions: - Safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the device. - Safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the device, employed as monotherapy, or combined with Nivolumab.
The aim of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and ipilimumab, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in T1aN0M0 clear-cell RCC patients ineligible for surgical treatment.
This study aims to observe the difference between NMAP (nicotinamide metabolism associated protein) serum levels in primary diagnosed renal cancer patients and non-renal cancer patient controls, plot the ROC curve and establish appropriate cut-off values.
