Filter by:Dose escalation part: to determine the highest dose of alpelisib administered on a daily basis when given in combination with daily everolimus or in combination with daily everolimus and exemestane. Dose expansion part: To describe safety and tolerability of the alpelisib and everolimus or alpelisib, everolimus and exemestane combinations.
Data from the American Cancer Society shows a 70% increase in incidence of kidney and renal pelvis cancer between 2000 and 2010. This increase is attributed to small renal masses (SRM) that are incidentally discovered by abdominal radiological imaging. However, 30% of resected SRMs appear benign on histological examination. Conventional biopsy is currently used to provide pathological information prior to resection. However, its non-diagnostic value is high, up to 33% in SRMs, showing the need for diagnostic improvement. The investigators have shown that optical biopsy (OB) can differentiate malignant from benign tissue and tumor subtypes. However, translation to the clinic requires a phase 2 clinical study. The investigators will use an OB probe that can be combined with a needle puncture during classical biopsy procedures, additionally providing real time micro-scale images containing quantitative information about tissue properties. The investigators are convinced that OB will greatly improve the diagnosis of renal tumor pathology.
The objective of this pilot study will be to obtain a clinical safety and efficacy endpoint profile of laser tissue welding therapy for sealing the resected kidney surface after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy required for removal of resectable benign or malignant renal tumors in 10 patients.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn more about the safety of giving sunitinib to patients with metastatic kidney cancer for 2 weeks followed by 1 week in which they receive no drug. Researchers want to learn more about the side effects of the drug and the effects of a different dosing schedule.
In this Phase 1 Trial investigators plan to establish the MTD of HyperAcute®-Renal (HAR) immunotherapy in subjects with clinically metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Background: - Papillary Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) is the second most common histologic subtype of kidney cancer, accounting for approximately 10-15% of cases - Type 1 papillary RCC occurs in both sporadic and hereditary forms, which are histologically identical. Non familial type 1 papillary RCC can present as both solitary renal tumors and as bilateral, multifocal disease - There are no standard agents of proven efficacy for patients with advanced papillary RCC. - Patients with disease localized to the kidney are managed surgically while patients with advanced/unresectable disease are usually managed in the community with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway antagonists or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors. - Activating mutations of mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) were identified in the germline of affected hereditary papillary renal cancer (HPRC) patients, who have a predilection for the development of bilateral, multifocal type 1 papillary RCC. Somatic MET mutations have been found in a subset of patients with non-inherited, sporadic papillary renal carcinoma - The investigational agent Capmatinib (INC280) is a selective MET inhibitor lacking activity against the VEGF pathway - This is a proof-of-concept study using INC280 in patients with papillary RCC to test the idea that effectively blocking the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET pathway will lead to clinical activity in patients with papillary renal cell cancer Objectives: Primary Objective: -To determine the overall response rate (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1) in patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma treated with single agent INC280 Eligibility: - Diagnosis of hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) or sporadic papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) - Patients with bilateral multifocal disease can have tumors localized to the kidney or have metastatic disease - Patients with sporadic papillary RCC (but without multifocal disease) should have advanced disease that is considered unresectable - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2 - Measurable disease - Adequate organ function - No active brain metastases - Prior therapy - No more than 3 prior lines of systemic therapy - Prior therapy with a MET inhibitor is allowed as long as the patient has not had progressive disease while receiving the agent Design: - This is a phase 2 single center non-randomized trial. - The study will be conducted using a Simon 2 stage minimax design. Initially 13 evaluable subjects will be recruited. If there are no responses to therapy, the study will be terminated. If there is at least 1 response an additional 7 evaluable subjects will be accrued. - The two-stage minimax design is based on assuming an ineffective response rate of 5% and a targeted effective response rate of 25%. We also assume that the probability of accepting an ineffective treatment and the probability of rejecting an effective treatment are each 10%. - Subjects will be dosed orally at a starting dose of 600 mg twice daily. - The overall response rate (complete response + partial response) will be determined.
To investigate the ability of perfusion CT/US-scanning to facilitate recognition of different tumour sub-types in small renal masses less than 7 cm by non-invasive imagining technology.
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of variations in the arterial CO2 concentration during deep neuromuscular block on the surgical conditions as assessed by the surgical rating scale
The aim of the study is the evaluation of the ablation efficiency of the percutaneous irreversible electroporation (IRE) as primary ablation therapy of locally confined renal cell carcinoma (≤4cm, see inclusion and exclusion criteria). The ablation success will be proofed by magnet resonance imaging (MRI) and histologically after partial kidney resection or nephrectomy 4 weeks after IRE. Hypotheses: Kidney tumors ≤4cm can be ablated completely by percutaneous IRE. Surrounded structures and renal tissue can be preserved.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive imaging tool for monitoring functional and metabolic responses of biological events with specific radiotracer in vivo. The PET tracer [18F]Fluciclatide is an 18F radiolabeled small peptide containing the RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartate) tri-peptide, which preferentially binds with high affinity to αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins. αvβ3-integrins are expressed at low levels on epithelial cells and mature endothelial cells but are expressed at high levels on activated endothelial cells in the neo-vasculature of a range of tumors and it also may regulate angiogenesis. If pazopanib acts mainly on active angiogenetic tumors, the quantitative uptake of [18F]Fluciclatide can be used to predict the effect of this antiangiogenic drug. The investigators expected the baseline tumor uptake in [18F]Fluciclatide to be able to predict treatment response, and planned a study of [18F]FluciclatidePET for patients with metastatic RCC who received pazopanib systemic therapy.
