Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dovitinib versus sorafenib in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer.
All patients who participate in this study will receive pazopanib. Pazopanib is an oral drug (pill) that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. In this study, the investigators plan to learn more about the way this drug works by using special scans (MRIs and Ultrasounds) to help evaluate how this drug is working on this disease. Approximately 20 people with advanced kidney cancer will be enrolled on this study.
The objective of this investigation is to determine the following items in all patients receiving Torisel for a certain period after marketing: 1. Confirmation of efficacy and safety for medical practice use. 2. Investigation of factors that may influence the incidence of adverse events (Particularly priority investigation items). 3. Investigation of the incidence status and the risk factors for interstitial lung diseases.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for more than 200,000 new cases of cancer and over 100,000 cancer deaths annually in the World (Ferlay, et al., 2004). It is estimated that there were about 15,000 new cases of RCC in the region that excludes the Americas, European Union and Japan. Renal cell carcinomas arise from the proximal tubal epithelium are more common in males than in females with an overall lifetime risk of 1 in 75 and a median age of diagnosis of 65 years. Everolimus (Certican®) has been approved since 2003 in more than 60 countries for the prevention of organ rejection in patients with renal and cardiac transplantation. Everolimus (RAD001) is a derivative of rapamycin, which acts as a signal transduction inhibitor. It targets mTOR, a key protein kinase regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The mTOR pathway activity is modulated by the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B AKT (AKT) pathway, a pathway known to be deregulated in numerous human cancers. RAD001 (Afinitor®) has been investigated as an anticancer agent based on its potential to act: - directly on the tumor cells by inhibiting tumor cell growth and proliferation; - indirectly by inhibiting angiogenesis leading to reduced tumor vascularity (via potent inhibition of tumor cell hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activity, VEGF production, and VEGF-induced proliferation of endothelial cells). Primary: To evaluate the PFS rate over time. Secondary: - To evaluate the disease control rate (stable disease [SD] + partial response [PR] + complete response [CR]); - To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR; where ORR = CR + PR) and duration; - To describe the safety profile of RAD001.
This is an open-label, multicenter dose-escalation phase I study using a 3+3+3 design (i.e., 3 to 9 patients per dose level) in patients with mRCC or others advanced refractory solid tumors. Enrolment will be performed to include approximately ½ of patients with mRCC. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of limiting toxicities leading to definitive discontinuation of the study drugs during the first 24 weeks in absence of progression of the disease. Secondary endpoints included the occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) evaluated during the first two cycles; overall response rate, 6-months progression-free survival rate and Pharmacokinetic assessments.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 and temsirolimus together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Capecitabine is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers. The role of capecitabine in treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma is discussed. In this trial, we are evaluating efficacy of capecitabine in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients.
This prospective study assesses toxicity and potential efficacy of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interferon (IFN) alpha and interleukin-2 (IL-2) postoperatively in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
This is a clinical research study of an investigational (FDA IND-BB 10091) treatment of subjects with castration-resistant prostate cancer resistant to Taxanes (docetaxel, cabazitaxel) and evidence of disease progression on androgen-axis inhibition and/or immunotherapy in the form of sipuleucel-T. The treatment is being evaluated for its effect on tumor growth. It consists of the placement (implantation) of small beads that contain mouse renal adenocarcinoma cells (RENCA macrobeads). The cells in the macrobeads produce substances that have been shown to slow or stop the growth of tumors in experimental animals and veterinary patients. It has been tested in 31 human subjects with different types of cancers in a Phase I safety trial. Phase II studies in patients with colorectal, pancreatic or prostate cancers are in progress.
The purpose of this study is to see if researchers can detect circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating endothelial cells (CEC) in the blood.
