Filter by:The goal of this study is to comprehensively map intra and inter tumor heterogeneity of ccRCC in VHL patients through the use of imaging, molecular biology and genomics techniques.
The purpose of this study is to test an empirically supported psychotherapeutic intervention, Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM), compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in those with malignant brain cancer diagnoses.
Observational study on relapse occurrence and on the quality of life in patients who underwent nephroureterectomy surgery
The aim of this study was to establish and optimize the [18F]RCCB6 and [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT imaging method, and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, on the basis of which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in renal cancer (especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma) and lymphoma was evaluated.
The aim of this observational study is to gather pre and post surgery clinical data belonging to patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy and to evaluate the impact of the surgery on the quality of life of the patients, as well as possible relapses within a 10 year period.
The objective of this study is to apply advanced diffusion imaging in a two-pronged assessment of renal mass patients: (1) characterization of lesion malignancy and subtype, and (2) prediction of renal function stability or decline following partial nephrectomy.
The objective of this single-center clinical trial was to evaluate the objective response rate and safety of Toripalimab combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors TKI (Lenvatinib) in neoadjuvant treatment of（T2a-T4NanyM0 or TanyN1M0） clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
The frequency of kidney tumors found incidentally on imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons continues to increase leading to more surgeries and ablations for the treatment of renal masses thought to be cancer. However, about 20% of these masses are not cancerous and do not require treatment. Many cancerous kidney tumors are indolent and can be followed safely with imaging (i.e., particularly tumors <2 cm and in patients with limited life expectancy), while some tumors are both malignant and aggressive, with a higher potential to spread outside the kidney and require treatment. The purpose of this observational study is to assess the ability of Fludeoxyglucose (18F) (FDG) PET/MR to distinguish different types of kidney tumors. The investigators hypothesize that PET/MR will better show differences between aggressive and both indolent and benign kidney masses compared to the currently used radiologic scans. Participants will be selected from those who have been scheduled to receive a contrast-enhanced MRI for their regular care due to a suspicious kidney mass. Participants will have their MRI on a hybrid PET/MR scanner capable of obtaining both MRI and PET images. While they are receiving their standard of care MRI exam, patients will also receive a research FDG PET exam. Participants will have an IV placed for administration of the MRI contrast agent, just as they would if they were not taking part in the study. The same IV will be used to give the FDG radiopharmaceutical for the PET scan and furosemide (a diuretic), to help empty the bladder before the scan and help better see the kidneys on the scans. Both FDG and furosemide are FDA approved medications. Participants will have only one visit with the research team which will last ~2.5 hours and will include collection of the participant's regularly scheduled MRI. If participants undergo surgery to remove the tumor, the study will collect samples of the removed tissue for research. If participants receive a biopsy of the tumor, the study may collect an additional sample of the tumor for research. After the PET/MRI, participants will not have additional visits with the study team, but the study team may call every 6-12 months for up to 2 years to see how they are doing and ask about their health. The study team will review the medical record for any changes to their diagnosis, updates to their medical history, new scans ordered by their regular doctor, or recent lab or biopsy results.
The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: - Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. - Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. - Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.
This study is an open label Phase I/II study conducted according to a Fleming design, investigating the safety and the efficacy of 4 IV injections of 177Lu-PSMA-1 in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cancer. This trial is divided in 2 parts: - A safety run-in part aiming to assess the safety of 177Lu-PSMA-1 (with 6 patients treated at the starting activity = 7.4 GBq of 177Lu-PSMA-1, every 6 weeks (Q6W) for 4 administrations). If more than one patient experiences a ST during the first cycle of therapy (6 weeks), then a lower activity of 177Lu-PSMA-1 will be evaluated in an additional cohort of 6 patients (5.9 GBq). The 6 patients from this safety run-in step, treated at the activity selected for phase II, will be included in the evaluation of Phase II part. - A Phase II part aiming to assess the clinical activity of 177Lu-PSMA-1
