Filter by:To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of RAD001 as monotherapy for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic papillary carcinoma of the kidney.
The study is designed to demonstrate that axitinib (AG-013736) is superior to sorafenib in delaying tumor progression in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer after failure of one first line regimen.
This laboratory study is evaluating how well dactinomycin and vincristine work in treating young patients with cancer. Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn how dactinomycin and vincristine affect the body and how patients will respond to treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the blood flow in kidney masses by using ultrasound microbubble contrast material, and to see if results from ultrasound contrast studies can predict if a kidney mass is benign or malignant. Patterns of blood flow in the kidney mass will be examined to see if: 1. benign kidney masses can be distinguished from kidney cancers and 2. if slow growing, lower risk cancers have different blood flow compared to clear cell cancer which is the most common type of kidney cancer.
RATIONALE: A stop-smoking plan that includes health education counseling and bupropion may help African-American smokers stop smoking. It is not yet known whether health education counseling is more effective with or without bupropion in helping African Americans stop smoking. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying health education counseling and bupropion to see how well they work compared with a placebo and health education counseling in helping African Americans smokers stop smoking.
The purpose of this Phase II study is to determine if AZD4877, an experimental drug that is a novel anti-mitotic agent (Eg5 or Kinesin Spindle Protein inhibitor that interferes with tumor cell division leading to tumor growth), can reduce tumor sizes in patients with bladder cancer
Background: In Central Europe, mortality rates for kidney cancers are higher and survival rates are lower than in the United States and Western Europe overall. The Central and Eastern European Renal Cancer Case-Control Study (CEERCC), completed in 2002, offers an opportunity to identify determinants that predict 5-year survival among kidney cancer patients. Objectives: To assess disease recurrence and progression among former participants in the CEERCC. To investigate the effect of genetics, lifestyle factors, medical conditions, occupation and diet on the outcome of kidney cancer patients in Europe. Eligibility: Former participants or next-of-kin of former participants in the CEERCC study. Design: Participants or their next-of-kin are interviewed for 60 minutes and are requested permission to collect relevant information from their or their family member s hospital and cancer registry records.
To determine the highest and safest tolerated dose of MDX-1411 for the treatment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (Kidney cancer).
To determine the safety and efficacy of the combination of bevacizumab and everolimus (RAD001) for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sunitinib is more effective when given before or after surgery in treating kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of sunitinib and to compare how well it works when given before or after surgery in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
