Filter by: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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with brain metastases caused by kidney cancer or melanoma.
This non-interventional study includes patients with advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma who are treated with SUTENT and who did not receive any other systemic therapy before. The aim of the trial is to increase knowledge about quality of life, safety, efficacy and tolerability under conditions of routine use of Sutent. The individual observation period of each patient will be 1 year.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well sunitinib works in treating patients with kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic kidney cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety of the dendritic cell/tumor fusion study vaccine in combination with a laboratory-made agent called Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF). Another purpose is to determine the type and severity of any side effects associated with this study vaccine. GM-CSF is similar to a substance in the body that stimulates the production of white blood cells. To create the study vaccine, cells will be removed from the participants tumor and fused with dendritic cells which are obtained from the participants blood. Dendritic cells are responsible for immune responses to "foreign" substances that enter the body. Animal studies have shown that these fused cells can stimulate powerful anti-tumor responses.
This trial will examine the effectiveness and the side effects of 2 higher dosing schedules of bevacizumab in patients that have advanced clear cell renal carcinoma.
This is a single-arm phase II trial of perifosine in renal cancer patients who have experienced disease progression after receiving either sorafenib or sunitinib.
The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination for RAD001 and Nexavar® works better when given together than they do alone. The purpose of the first phase of this study is to determine the best dose of RAD001 given with Nexavar®, and to see what effects, good and/or bad, the study drug has on the subject and the subject's tumor. This study will also observe side effects experienced by the subject.
Patients with metastatic renal cell cancer will be enrolled to receive RAD001 to determine whether the use of RAD001 will result in an improvement in the time to tumor progression.
Patients with metastatic renal cell cancer will be enrolled to receive either Trovax® alone or Trovax® plus Interferon Alfa. The study will try to determine whether the use of Trovax® will delay tumor progression.
