Filter by:This phase 1/2a trial is conducted in Europe. The first part of the trial is a dose escalation safety trial determining the maximum tolerated dose of rIL-21 when administered in combination with sunitinib. The second part, scheduled to start in September 2008, is a randomised 2-arm trial comparing the anti-tumour effect of rIL-21 plus sunitinib with sunitinib alone.
The purpose of this registry is to record information of therapy reality of metastatic or locally advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma by office-based medical oncologists in Germany.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a new anti-angiogenic drug called sorafenib, in combination with radiotherapy, for renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone and is causing significant pain. The study will find a safe dose of sorafenib for this combination study treatment, look at side effects, and test if the study treatment is effective in controlling the pain experienced from this type of renal cell cancer. . There will be two parts or phases to this study The purpose of the first phase is to find the highest dose of sorafenib that can be given safely to patients, when combined with radiotherapy. We will also see what kind of effects the study treatment has on you and your cancer. Participants in this phase will receive a dose of sorafenib that has shown to be well-tolerated in humans. If the side effects are tolerable for this dose of sorafenib when combined with radiotherapy, new patients will be asked to join the study and will receive a dose of sorafenib higher than the last study participant. In the second phase, new study participants will receive the dose of sorafenib that was determined to be safe in the first phase. Side effects will continue to be looked at and the effectiveness on controlling pain symptoms from this type of cancer, will also be looked at.
The ROSORC trial is a randomized study comparing the efficacy of a new association (sorafenib and IL-2) versus the standard therapy (sorafenib) in patients affected by different histotypes of metastatic RCC. This study is a first line therapy for the advanced disease. The primary objective is the progression free survival (PFS) in the 2 arms of therapy and the secondary objective is the overall survival (OS) and the response rate (RR) and the safety profile of the combination compared to sorafenib alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine maximum tumor shrinkage, time to progression, survival, drug concentration, and degree of skin toxicity.
This is a multicenter Phase III study to demonstrate the diagnostic utility of 124I-cG250 PET/CT pre-surgical imaging in patients with operable renal masses.
Sorafenib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is registered for the treatment of metastasized clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC). It inhibits signal transduction of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR) and the Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR). In the tumorigenesis of ccRCC, VEGF and PDGF are upregulated due to the defective Von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene. CcRCC has a high Interstitial Fluid Pressure (IFP) and Tumor Microvascular Density (TMD), hampering the delivery of chemotherapeutics and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). It was hypothesized that antiangiogenic compounds decrease tumor IFP and TMD, thus normalizing tumor vasculature, before diminishing tumor vasculature. Bevacizumab is an anti-VEGF mAb which depletes soluble VEGF from plasma, depriving VEGFR of its ligand. Chimeric monoclonal antibody cG250 recognizes carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), an antigen that is abundantly expressed in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and has limited expression in normal tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Sorafenib on ccRCC physiology, by determining tumor uptake of 111In labeled cG250 or 111In labeled Bevacizumab.
The aim of this study is to determine preliminary efficacy of capecitabine and interferon-alpha in second-line after interleukin-2 based regimens in patients with MRCC
RATIONALE: Cellular adoptive immunotherapy uses a person's white blood cells that are treated in the laboratory to stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Aldesleukin may help the laboratory-treated white blood cells stay in the body longer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as zoledronic acid, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cellular adoptive immunotherapy together with interleukin-2 and zoledronic acid may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving cellular adoptive immunotherapy together with aldesleukin and zoledronic acid and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IV kidney cancer and lung metastases.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate low oxygen areas called hypoxia within the tumor. These low oxygen areas are thought to be the reason why tumors are more resistant to radiation treatment. A tracer is an extremely small quantity of a substance. Tracer to which radioactivity has been attached may be used to "trace" events in the body. A tracer called iodo-azomycin galactopyranoside (or *IAZGP) appears to be able to detect low oxygen areas within tumor. Radioactive iodine in this molecule can be detected by an imaging technique called a PET scan. This present study involves obtaining three scans using this new imaging technique. The goal of carrying out many scans is to determine which scan will best show any areas in your tumor that may have low levels of oxygen.
