Filter by:Oral anticancer treatments account a quarter of cancer treatments. These oral treatments are allowed at home, avoid hospitalization and limit the use of central venous routes. Oral treatments cause many side effects and patients are reluctant to report them because they are afraid that their treatment will be changed. But when these side effects are poorly managed, they can reduce adherence to treatment. The main hypothesis of this randomized study is that the combination of an initial consultation with a trio (nurse, doctor, pharmacist) and a weekly telephone nurse follow-up during the administration of oral anticancer treatments decreases the rate and duration of side effects. The main objective is to evaluate the impact at 3 months of a optimized management by an initial consultation with a trio nurse, doctor, pharmacist and a weekly nurse telephone follow-up versus a standard management on the level of digestive, skin and mucosal side effects of grade 3 in patients with oral chemotherapy. This randomized study is realized in patients with kidney or breast cancer.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of avelumab and how well it works in combination with fluorouracil and mitomycin or cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, mitomycin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving avelumab with chemotherapy and radiotherapy may work better in treating participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
The incidence of renal cancer in Denmark is approximately 900 new cases per year. Untreated, the 5-year survival rate for metastatic renal cancer (mRCC) is 2%. Development of angiogenesis inhibitors (AI) and check-point immunotherapy (CPI) has improved survival. Treatment efficacy is evaluated by CT scans, using RESIST 1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). However, progressin in patients with mRCC treated with AI or CPI is difficult to characterize at the right time, using the RECIST 1.1. Therefore approximately 50 % of the patients are 'lost' to further treatment at the time of progression and die. The investigators aim to evaluate if functional imaging parameters using spectral CT-techniques can detect treatment failure earlier, or more accurate, than routine CT. This could help us develop a new set of response evaluation criteria for functional imaging, giving a more precise assessment of treatment effect in patients with mRCC treated with AI and CPI.
This study aims to determine the feasibility of undertaking a future definitive RCT to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of complementing existing medical scans with a patient-specific interactive 3D virtual model of the patient's body to assist the surgeon with planning for the operation in the best way possible. Renal cancer patients receive a tri-phasic CT scan as routine practice, thus if the standard imaging protocols are followed, there should be ample imaging data available for 3D model creation. This study is a single-site, single-arm, unblinded, prospective, feasibility study aiming to recruit 24 participants from the Royal Free Hospital that are scheduled for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. Consenting participants will be recruited over a 6-month period, and interactive 3D virtual models of their anatomy will be generated. These models will be used to aid surgeon-patient communications and to plan for the operation. This study will determine whether a definitive RCT of virtual 3D models as an adjunct to surgery planning is feasible with respect to: recruitment of local authorities and patients; ensuring staff can be adequately trained to deliver programmes within specified timeframes; and assessment of the measurability of key surgical outcomes.
The investigators objective is to test the combination directly on organotypic cultures of tumors from patients after their excision in the Department of Urology and Renal Transplantation of the University Hospital of Grenoble and to compare their efficacy with that of currently selected treatments in the clinic. The population targeted by the combination for use in clinical practice is patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Current treatments for these patients are Sunitinib, Pazopanib and Temsirolimus.
A non-interventional, medical record review of clinical data collected from Japanese participants with recurring kidney cancer
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.
The study is designed to explore the safety and tolerability as well as diagnostic 89Zr-girentuximab for imaging CCRC by PET/CT. This study does not offer any treatment for patients with CCRC; therefore, patients will be offered state of the art therapeutic options after imaging with the study drug 89Zr-girentuximab. Cancer treatment will not be delayed by study participation.

This is a phase II Randomized comparison clinical trial of activated CIK armed with anti-CD3-MUC1 bispecific antibody for advanced kidney cancer. And the aim of this research is to study the clinical efficacy and safety of activated CIK armed with anti-CD3-MUC1 bispecific antibody for kidney cancer.
