Filter by:A one-arm,open,multi-center study, to evaluate sorafenib (400mg twice daily ) as a adjuvant to prevent recurrence of RCC(renal cell carcinoma) patients after radical nephrectomy with a high-risk of recurring. To observe disease-free survival and the survival rate in 3 years,5 years. The purpose of this study is: - To study the efficacy of Sorafenib as an adjuvant therapy for reducing recurrence rate in locally advanced renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) after radical nephrectomy. - To observe the incidence of hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) after the Urea (10% or 5%) based cream intervention treatment. The primary end point is the disease-free survival(DFS).The secondary end point is overall survival(OS),the drug safety and tolerance, the occurrence of hand foot skin reaction(HFSR) at the week of 3,6,12,the skin toxicity(not include HFSR) higher than CTCAE(Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Grade 2 at the 12th week, the incidence of HFSR after the Urea (10% or 5%) based cream intervention treatment.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying MRI in predicting response to sunitinib malate in patients with stage IV kidney cancer.
This research trial studies kidney tumors in younger patients. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
RATIONALE: Comparing results of MRI scans done after bevacizumab may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab alone is more effective than giving bevacizumab together with interferon alpha-2a in detecting kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying MRI scans of blood vessel changes caused by bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with bevacizumab given together with interferon alpha-2a in treating patients with stage III or stage IV kidney cancer.
In this randomized, controlled trial the investigators evaluate the effects of an exercise program lasting for 12 weeks on the physical performance, the cardiovascular function (24h blood pressure, rest blood pressure and hear function) and the fatigue and mood of patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing a therapy with Sunitinib.
The purpose of this study is to show if vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK) can induce a measurable immune response in patients with renal cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the clinical effect of the regimen.
The purpose of this multicenter, pilot, open-label, Phase II clinical trial is to discover if Everolimus(RAD001) is safe and effective in people who have advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma - RCC). Since 2002, Everolimus has been studied in more than 2500 patients with various types of cancer as a single agent (a drug that is used alone to treat the cancer) or in combination with a number of well known anticancer therapies. Various studies, in animals such as in mice with cancer and in humans with cancer have shown that Everolimus can slow the growth of cancer. Everolimus will be taken in pill form by mouth daily for 3-5 weeks followed by surgery to remove the effected kidney. After 2-4 weeks following the surgery, Everolimus will be resumed at the same dose.
The purpose of this study is to determine if and how often an unexpected fast increase of disease and complaints shows after stopping the anti-angiogenetic therapy
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works when given before and after surgery in treating patients with stage IV kidney cancer.

Giving sunitinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sunitinib is more effective when given before or after surgery in treating kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of sunitinib and to compare how well it works when given before or after surgery in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
