Filter by:In the present study the investigators want to explore the safety, pharmacokinetics, and activity of the combination of temsirolimus and nelfinavir, both agents with PI3K /Akt/mTOR inhibiting activity, in patients with advanced malignancies.Temsirolimus has proven anti tumoral activity by mTOR inhibition. Nelfinavir is a potential inhibitor of Akt. Combining both agents might prevent upregulation of the P13k pathway and increase the anti-cancer activity of temsirolimus. The strong CYP3A4 inhibition of nelfinavir and the dependence of temsirolimus on CYP3 A4 metabolism makes a dose finding study essential. The investigators will also look at the prospective value of biomarkers of activity and the outcome of the treatment.
Open-label, multi-center extension treatment protocol to allow access to tivozanib and sorafenib for subjects who have participated on the AV-951-09-301 protocol. Eligible subjects who were randomized to receive sorafenib on AV-951-09-301 and had documented progression of disease will receive a tivozanib dose of 1.5 mg/day. Eligible subjects who were randomized to tivozanib or sorafenib in AV-951-09-301, and displayed clinical benefit and acceptable tolerability to treatment, will continue to receive tivozanib or sorafenib at the same dose and schedule as in AV-951-09-301.
Patients with an incidentally discovered small renal masses (SRM) < 4 cm in diameter are included. All patients will undergo biopsy for tissue diagnosis. Most patients will be followed by imaging. Study intervention includes low MI US to be performed following both bolus and infusion injection of Definity contrast. Presence and absence of vascularity, pattern of vascularity, and TIC values will be correlated with the final pathology to find features differentiating benign from malignant masses.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dalteparin when given together with sunitinib malate in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, help prevent blood clots and have been shown to increase survival in patients with cancer. Anticoagulants may also prevent the formation of new blood vessels. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by inhibiting new blood vessels and blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving dalteparin together with sunitinib malate may starve tumors and kill more tumor cells.
The primary objective of this observational study is to retrospectively collect current survival data for patients originally included in axitinib A4061012 [NCT00076011] study to estimate the 5-year survival rate in subjects with metastatic renal cancer cell treated with axitinib.
Sunitinib is the registered treatment for first-line therapy of metastatic clear-cell carcinoma of the kidney.Data from the Expanded Access Study have shown activity also in non-clear cell renal cancer (NCCRC). The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the anti-tumor activity and safety of sunitinib as a first-line therapy in metastatic NCCRC patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BNC105P in combination with/following everolimus is effective in the treatment of progressive metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma following prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-national, multi-center, parallel-arm trial comparing tivozanib to sorafenib in subjects with advanced RCC. The study is designed to compare the PFS, OS, ORR, DR, safety and tolerability, and kidney specific symptoms/health outcome measurements of tivozanib and sorafenib.
Everolimus indirectly inhibits angiogenesis by reducing VEGF production. VEGF can be non-invasively visualized and quantified with serial 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging in patients. The investigators hypothesize that a decline in VEGF early during everolimus treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma predicts treatment efficacy. 89Zr-bevacizumab PET scans will be performed at baseline, after 2 and 6 weeks of everolimus treatment in 14 adult patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
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 locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.
