Filter by:This Single-arm, multicentre, phase 2 trial aims determine the activity and safety of pembrolizumab and denosumab in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
This study is intended to evaluate the renal protective effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy. Half of the enrolled subjects will receive 4 cycles of brief ischemia on the upper arm after anesthesia induction and prior to the surgery, while the other half will not receive this treatment as a control group.
This phase III trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread into the deep muscle of the bladder wall (muscle-invasive) or urothelial cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Monoclonal antibodies recognizing and blocking checkpoint molecules can enhance the patient's immune response and therefore help fight cancer. Pembrolizumab is one of the monoclonal antibodies that block the PD-1 axis and can interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of atezolizumab with or without eribulin mesylate and how well they work in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has come back (recurrent), spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as eribulin mesylate, 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. Giving atezolizumab and eribulin mesylate may work better at treating urothelial cancer compared to atezolizumab alone.
This study evaluates the impact of nephrectomy in renal cancer on blood pressure and renal function. The patients will have a follow-up of their blood pressure and renal function until 6 months after their operation.
This research study is studying two drugs at different time points as a possible treatment for advanced renal cell cancer The drugs involved in this study are: Nivolumab Ipilimumab
Patients will undergo a screening process as per standard of care to identify disease type and severity. Careful history and physical examination will also take place to rule out major heart, lung, or kidney disease and pregnancy that may affect how they will respond to the treatment. Patients with advanced (stage II and above with multiple tumors or tumors within vessels) and metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma will be first treated with cryoablation on a large primary tumor and then given 200 mg pembrolizumab every 3-weeks 3 cycles , followed by partial/radical nephrectomy. Pembrolizumab is a biologic drug that adheres to the cell death receptors on white blood cells preventing there death and leading to an increased immunologic response. Cryoablation will be used in these patients to initially trigger and immune response to cancerous cells that is then magnified by the drug. After the surgery, patients will resume pembrolizumab for additional 5 cycles or up to a total of 2 years if a partial response is observed at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist or urologist until complete tumor remission, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or patient death due to any cause.
Prospective research of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9 as predictive biomarkers in metastatic kidney cancer patients treated with 2 anti angiogenic agents (Sunitinib or Pazopanib).
To assess: - efficacy of APL-101 as monotherapy for the treatment of NSCLC harboring MET Exon 14 skipping mutations, NSCLC harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET fusion, primary CNS tumors harboring MET alterations, solid tumors harboring wild-type MET with overexpression of HGF and MET - efficacy of APL-101 as an add-on therapy to EGFR inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC harboring EGFR activating mutations and developed acquired resistance with MET amplification and disease progression after documented CR or PR with 1st line EGFR inhibitors (EGFR-I)
Background: Wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a cancer in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. It does not respond well to standard chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Most people with GIST are treated with imatinib. But it may not work in many children with GIST. Researchers think the drug SGI-110 may help treat people with GIST, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PHEO/PGL), or kidney cancer related to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC). Objective: To learn if SGI-110 causes GIST tumors to shrink or slows their growth. Also to test how it acts in the body. Eligibility: People ages 12 and older who have GIST, PHEO/PGL, or HLRCC that has not responded to other treatments Design: Participants will be screened with: - Physical exam - Urine tests - Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) scan: A machine takes pictures of the body. - Blood tests Participants will be injected with SGI-110 under the skin each day for 5 days. This cycle will repeat every 28 days. The cycles repeat until their side effects get too bad or their cancer gets worse. Participants will have tests throughout study: - Physical exam and blood and urine tests before each cycle - Blood tests on days 1, 7, 14, and 28 of the first cycle. - Scans before cycle 1 and then every other cycle. - Questionnaires about their pain and quality of life - Tumor biopsy for those 18 and older: A needle removes a small piece of tumor. After they stop treatment, participants will have a final visit. This includes an evaluation of their health, pain, and quality of life. ...
