Filter by:In this phase II trial, we plan to evaluate the combination of Tarceva and Avastin in the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This trial will be one of the first phase II trials to evaluate a combination of targeted agents in the treatment of a common solid tumor with a strong biologic rationale based on Cancer Biology (VHL/HIF/VEGF/EGFr).
This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with metastatic, recurrent, or unresectable kidney cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing
It is the aim of this clinical study to evaluate the skeletal-related event rate under therapy with zoledronic acid in patients with renal cell cancer having at least one cancer-related bone lesion.
This Phase I, dose finding study evaluates the safety and tolerability of lapatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and GW786034, an anti-angiogenesis agent, when given together. The study first will find the best doses using safety and blood concentration data of both agents. This is done enrolling stepwise, cohorts of 3 patients each and the last patient enrolled must reach at least Day 22 of continuous daily dosing before the next cohort at an increased dose can begin. If a patient in a cohort has a dose limiting toxicity before Day 22, then 3 more patients are studied at that same dose. If 2 of 6 patients have dose limiting toxicities within the first 22 days, the next cohort receives the next lowest dose. Otherwise each cohort has an increasing dose of one of the two agents. The second stage of the study will administer the best doses of the agents to about 16 patients to further study safety and collect more blood concentration data (more blood samples in the second phase compared to the first phase). The second stage has the advantage of using the best dose (decreases chance of receiving a sub-therapeutic dose) while it collects more blood samples and requires slightly more long clinic visits.
This was a Phase I/II, single-center, dose-escalation study. 177-Lutetium-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid-cG250 (177-Lu-DOTA-cG250) was administered at a starting dose of 30 mCi/m^2 of 177-Lu (fixed dose of 10 mg cG250) and escalated in increments of 10 mCi/m^2 of 177-Lu in sequentially enrolled cohorts according to a standard 3 + 3 design until determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The primary objectives were to determine the safety, targeting, and dosimetry of 177-Lu-DOTA-cG250 in subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma. The secondary objective was measurement of tumor response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0.
To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of SU011248 (sunitinib) in cytokine-refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) when administered in a continuous treatment regimen
The purpose of this study is to find out if renal cell (kidney) cancer that has spread to other parts of the body will respond to treatment with motexafin gadolinium (MGd).
This randomized phase II trial is studying sorafenib and interferon alfa-2b to see how well they work compared to sorafenib alone in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Sorafenib and interferon alfa-2b may also block blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib together with interferon alfa-2b may kill more tumor cells.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of sorafenib tosylate and bevacizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth by targeting certain cells. Bevacizumab and sorafenib tosylate may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib tosylate together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with interleukin-2 works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer. 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. Interleukin-2 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Giving bevacizumab together with interleukin-2 may kill more tumor cells.
