Filter by:Determine time-to-progression (TTP) for an escalating dose schedule for subjects with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with sorafenib
This phase 2 study is an open-label, multi-center study to determine the safety and tolerability of AMG 386 in combination with sunitinib in the treatment of subjects with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Biological therapies, such as aldesleukin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Giving bevacizumab together with aldesleukin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with aldesleukin works in treating patients with metastatic clear cell carcinoma of the kidney.
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. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of giving sunitinib before surgery and to see how well it works in treating patients with localized or metastatic kidney cancer.
The purpose study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sorafenib as first line treatment for patients - unsuitable for another approved first line therapy - with advanced RCC in the Middle East Region.
The goal is to study the impact of functional MRI and CT evaluation of changes in tumor vessels induced by anti-angiogenic treatment in patients with metastatic RCC. The hypothesis is that good responders and poor responders will have different responses induced by anti-angiogenic treatment, and that the detection of theses changes by functional imaging can improve the therapeutic management. Functional CT and MRI will be performed in 200 patients before the beginning of antiangiogenic treatment, 7 days after and every 6 week until tumor progression (as defined by the RECIST criteria). Perfusion and diffusion parameters will be measured using a dedicated software.
The Sutent® Observational Study is being proposed to assess the real-world usage patterns and effectiveness and tolerability of treatment of Indian patients with advanced renal cell cancer with Sutent®. Generation of such information is expected to aid everyday clinical decision-making by Indian doctors and will add to the body of generalizable evidence.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging as a biomarker before and during treatment with sunitinib or bevacizumab plus interferon in patients with RCC. 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging will be regarded a promising biomarker if the target for treatment (VEGF) can be visualised and if uptake changes after institution of treatment.
To assess the efficacy and safety of RAD001 (everolimus) in non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to determine if certain features of tumor specimens sampled prior to therapy can predict for the likelihood of responding to everolimus.
