Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well bevacizumab with or without anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 (TRC105) works in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab and anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant interleukin-15 in treating patients with melanoma, kidney cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Recombinant interleukin-(IL)15 is a biological product, a protein, made naturally in the body and when made in the laboratory may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.
Disease and Stage: Metastatic and locally advanced clear cell renal carcinoma An open-label, exploratory, single-arm, multicenter trial. Everolimus will be administered orally, once daily, for 6 weeks followed by a 1-week rest period prior to nephrectomy. Two to four weeks after surgery, everolimus will be reintroduced only for metastatic patients until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or other stopping rules are met.
When kidney cancer spreads beyond the kidney, it is known as metastatic kidney cancer. This is very difficult to treat and almost all patients will die of their disease within 3 years. Sunitinib has become standard therapy for untreated patients with metastatic clear cell renal (kidney) cancer. It targets a growth factor known as VEGF which is important in treating renal cancer. Although the results with this drug are impressive, patients develop resistance to the drug, relapse and die of renal cancer. It is currently standard practice is to treat patients with everolimus when resistance to sunitinib occurs; this is associated with clear clinical benefit. However the median time to progression with everolimus is 4.9 months in previously treated patients, therefore further improvement in treating patients is required. The optimal way of achieving this is to increase the efficacy of everolimus by adding agents which directly target the cause of resistance to sunitinib. Dovitinib is a promising new drug in renal cancer. Dovitinib blocks cellular functions such as activation of downstream signalling molecules, cell proliferation and survival. Combining dovitinib and everolimus is very attractive. This trial is aimed to establish the maximum tolerated dose for the combination of dovitinib and everolimus in clear call renal cancer, which can then be taken into a randomised phase II study. A maximum of 30 patients will be recruited into this multi centre national trial. Expansion Cohort: The study has established the MAD and the MTD. The MTD was Cohort 0 (Everolimus 5mg and Dovitinib 200mg). 6 patients were recruited in this cohort with only 1 patient experiencing a DLT. A further 3 patients were recruited into Cohort 1 (Everolimus 5mg and Dovitinib 300mg), where 2 patients experienced a DLT. A total of 7 assessable patients will be recruited during the expansion phase at the MTD (Cohort 0: Everolimus 5mg and Dovitinib 200mg) to further define the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK and biological end points. Assessable patients for the expansion cohort are defined as being on the study for a minimum of 6 weeks. Any patients enrolled who are not assessable will be replaced.
A-PREDICT is a study of axitinib in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma unsuitable for nephrectomy (as judged by the treating clinician) to evaluate efficacy, safety, toxicity and changes in biomarkers during therapy. Axitinib will given twice daily by mouth according to tolerability of treatment, for as long as patients are deriving clinical benefit. Blood and tumour tissue samples will be taken prior to and during therapy to evaluate biomarkers of treatment response. The primary clinical objective of this study is to define the activity of axitinib given to patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma unsuitable for nephrectomy.
Phase 2, multi-center, open-label, single-treatment group, baseline-controlled study to identify subjects with Folate Receptor-Positive Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
The folate receptor (FR) is overexpressed by many different cancer types, including renal cell carcinoma. Besides helping in the diagnosis of cancer, a folate-targeted imaging agent could provide an effective method to identify folate receptor-positive (FR+) cancer patients that may benefit from folate-targeted therapy. Up to 40 subjects, with known or strongly suspected metastatic renal cell carcinoma with at least one target lesion detected by a diagnostic imaging procedure (e.g. ultrasonography, CT, or MRI), will be enrolled in this study.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well tivantinib with or without erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with metastatic or locally advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Tivantinib and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a "proof of concept" study, to assess the feasibility of introducing a novel high-precision radiotherapy technique called "stereotactic radiosurgery" (SRS) or "stereotactic body radiotherapy" (SBRT) for the treatment of kidney cancers in Australia. This study aims to invite 20 patients with renal cell carcinoma and 10 patients with isolated adrenal metastases from non-small cell carcinoma who are either medically inoperable, high risk for surgery, or decline surgery to participate. In cohort of patients with renal cell carcinoma, both patients with primary disease only, and those patients who have limited metastases (≤5) will be eligible. Besides technical feasibility of delivering this treatment, this study will be to assess efficacy, toxicity and tumour response using a novel imaging biomarker called diffusion weighted-MRI.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics and assess the immunogenicity and effectiveness of AGS-16C3F in subjects with renal cell cancer (RCC).
