Filter by:An phase I study to evaluate the uptake of [68Ga]P16-093 in known or suspected metastatic prostate or renal cancer to establish the feasibility of using [68Ga]P16-093 to image PSMA expressing cancer. Measurement of the whole body biodistribution of [68Ga]P16-093 in prostate cancer patients post primary curative-intent treatment with stable PSA to generate human radiation dosimetry data.
The therapeutic scenario of metastatic renal cancer is undergoing a new revolution with the appearance of a novel therapeutic strategy after the antiangiogenic treatments, that is the immunotherapy, in addition to the approval of new active drugs in the following lines of treatment. There are currently two phase III trials in the first line of treatment in metastatic renal cancer that include different combinations of treatment based on immunotherapy. If results of these studies were positive, the therapeutic algorithm would be modified so that the remaining drugs would have to be repositioned within the therapeutic decision scheme. Sunitinib has previously demonstrated its benefit in patients who had failed to prior treatment with cytokines, so it is likely to continue to be effective in patients who have become resistant to treatment with new drugs based on immune checkpoint blockade. This phase II study is developed to evaluate the activity of sunitinib after treatment with immunotherapy-based regimens that are currently being developed within phase III clinical trials.
This is a multi-institution, single-arm phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of SBRT (up to 2 metastatic sites preferentially lung, mediastinum or bone in combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma(with a clear-cell component and at least 1 measurable metastatic lesion that is not being irradiated).
The primary aim of this study is to establish if it is possible for patients who have undergone major body surgery to complete a home based exercise training program and complete the assessments required to measure physical and cognitive function. If the investigators can establish that it is feasible to complete the training and test's then further research can follow using these methods to determine whether it is possible to improve the physical function of older patients undergoing major abdominal surgery in the period following surgery by using a simple exercise regimen that can be carried out at home. By targeting physical function in this way the investigators hope to determine if it is a method for improving frailty and well being. In turn it may also have a positive impact on health service provision.
Physician mainly use RECIST progression-free survival (PFS) and NCI CTCAE safety as a guide to evaluate treatment efficiency. In contrast Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) assessment is often restricted to clinical trial. It could be of particular interest to evaluate HRQOL in daily clinical practice in order to adequately choose and manage first line therapy, especially since HRQOL at diagnosis was shown to be a prognostic factor of overall survival in advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). A systematic collection in daily clinical practice of the HRQoL data using standardized questionnaires could strengthen management of symptoms : improve symptom control, improve patient-clinician communication, satisfaction with care and well-being of the patient and in fine the overall survival. The objective of the QUANARIE Study is to assess the use of HRQOL assessment in daily clinical practice for patients with mRCC treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) using electronic patient reported outcome (PRO). Indeed, the goal is to make the HRQoL data accessible and exploitable in real time to clinicians, to help medical professionals to optimize their practices by adopting a holistic and personalized approach based on patient reported outcomet.
This phase II trial studies how well image guided hypofractionated radiation therapy works with nelfinavir mesylate, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and atezolizumab in treating patients with melanoma, lung cancer, or kidney cancer that has spread (advanced). Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Nelfinavir mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving hypofractionated radiation therapy, nelfinavir mesylate, pembrolizumab, nivolumab and atezolizumab may work better in treating patients with melanoma, lung, or kidney cancer.
This is an open label, randomized phase II trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio and stratified for known prognostics variables to one of two first-line medication treatment arms. Once disease progression has been documented, and following a required inter-line washout period, subjects will receive either second-line medication treatment or discontinue treatment, per discretion of treating investigator.
This study will assess the immunomodulatory activity of entinostat in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma receiving the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab. The overall hypothesis is that entinostat will increase the immune response and anti-tumor effect induced by the PD-L1 inhibition by suppressing Treg function. We have chosen renal cell carcinoma that has been reported to respond to PD1/PD-L 1 inhibition. The schedule of entinostat is based on our previous experience with this agent. Based on our working hypothesis that low dose HDAC inhibitors will have a suppressive function on Tregs but not on T effector cells, the starting dose of entinostat will be 1 mg and will be escalated up to 5 mg rather than the 10 mg dose. The combination also with bevacizumab will provide an effective VEGF inhibition that may potentiate the immune response and anti-tumor effect induced by atezolizumab. The proposed dose and schedule for atezolizumab and bevacizumab has been shown to be well tolerated in prior Phase/I/II studies and is currently tested in a Phase III randomized study in patients with renal cell carcinoma with sunitinib as a control arm. The highest proposed dose level for entinostat (5 mg) represents 50% of the recommended Phase II dose for this compound as a single agent.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of sitravatinib and how well it works with nivolumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Sitravatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sitravatinib and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with kidney cancer.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether state-of-the-art technologies such and next generation sequencing and drug sensitivity and resistance testing of patient derived tumour tissue can facilitate research translation and improve outcome of urologic cancers.
