Filter by:This is a phase 2 study of the drug denosumab for the management bone metastases from urothelial cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out how effective denosumab is in the management of bone metastases from urothelial cancer. This will be done by comparing denosumab with standard treatment, compared to placebo and standard treatment. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a protein called Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κB (RANK). RANK works by telling certain cells called osteoclasts to break down bone tissue. The binding of denosumab to RANK stops it from telling osteoclasts to break down bone tissue which may help with symptoms related bone metastases from urothelial cancer.
This is a French, nationwide, prospective, observational, multi-center study in participants diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma, who start a new systemic therapy with nivolumab with or without ipilimumab for the first time and within the market authorization approval.
This is a study of nivolumab in participants with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer or Kidney Cancer in India.
To assess the relationship between progression free survival of patients treated with nivolumab for metastatic non small cell lung carcinoma or a metastatic renal cell carcinoma and nivolumab blood concentration. Collection of standard data prospectively.
A prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to assess whether digital virtual reality (VR) models, created from existing CT scans and MRIs, provide surgeons with an improved understanding of their patients' anatomy, resulting in more efficient operations (robotic partial nephrectomy) and improved patient care.
Recruitment of participants to the study takes place at the urological department at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde, Feb. 2018-April 2018. 10 people with diagnosis of renal cancer should be recruited in phases 1. Subsequently, biological materials from 100 patients with kidney cancer will be used from the national Biobank. In phase 3, 10 patients will be recruited for the final gene test.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well social media listening works in improving clinical trial recruitment in patients with cancer. Social media listening and recruitment on Twitter may enhance enrollment for cancer-related clinical trials.
Background: Gene transfer is a new cancer therapy takes white blood cells from a person and grows them in a lab. The cells are changed with a virus to attack tumor cells, then returned to the person. Researchers want to see if this therapy fights kidney cancer cells. Objective: To see if gene transfer is safe and causes tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old with certain kidney cancer Design: Participants will be screened with blood and urine tests. They may have: - Scans - Heart, lung, and eye tests - Lab tests - Tumor samples taken Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be removed by a needle in an arm. It will go through a machine that removes white blood cells. Plasma and red cells will be returned through a needle in the participant s other arm. Participants cells will be grown in the lab and genetically changed. Participants will stay in the hospital 2-3 weeks. There they will: - Get 2 chemotherapy drugs by catheter (thin plastic tube) inserted into a vein in the chest. - Get the changed cells via catheter. - Get a drug to increase white blood cell count and one to make the cells active. - Recover for about a week. - Have lab and blood tests. After leaving the hospital, participants will: - Take an antibiotic for several months. - Have leukapheresis. - Have one- or two-day clinic visits every few weeks for 2 years, and then as determined by their doctor. These will include blood and lab tests, imaging studies, and physical exam. Participants will have follow-up checks for up to 15 years.

Project HERO is a 12-week study of the efficacy of Body Mind Training (BMT) for reducing fatigue in male cancer survivors. This 3-arm randomized clinical trial will examine inflammatory biology and selected gene-expression pathways that are hypothesized to contribute to the intervention's effect.
A prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to assess whether digital virtual reality (VR) models, created from existing CT scans and MRIs, provide surgeons with an improved understanding of their patients' anatomy, resulting in more efficient operations (robotic partial nephrectomy) and improved patient care.
