Filter by:The knowledge of the histological diagnosis and its subtype of a renal parenchymal tumor is important for determine whether the choice of a specific regimen of chemotherapy, target therapy and immunotherapy could be suitable and effective for treating this tumor. Computed tomography (CT) has been considered as an excellent imaging modality for detecting intra-tumoral fat, and most of renal angiomyolipomas (AML) could be thus confidently diagnosed on computed tomography by showing intra-tumoral fat. However, if a renal parenchymal tumor has no detectable fat in the tumor on computed tomography, there is a long list of its diagnosis including benign neoplasms as angiomyolipoma with minimal fat, oncocytoma, metanephric adenoma, etc., epitheloid angiomyolipoma (eAML) malignant potential, malignant neoplasms as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), sarcoma, malignant eAML, etc. Furthermore, there are three kinds of anticancer drug (antiangiogenetic drug, mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors, immune modulators, and whether the anticancer drug is effective mainly depending on subtypes of RCCs. Nonetheless, computed tomography could not reliably differentiate histological types of renal parenchymal masses except renal AMLs with abundant fat. Therefore, for patients without established diagnoses by imaging examinations, further biopsy of the renal tumor is usually mandatory to validate the histological diagnosis and subtype. Thus, this study plans to enroll 60 patients with renal parenchymal masses which show no intra-tumoral fat on computed tomography. All enrolled patients will undergo multiparametric and fat-detection magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The main objective is to prospectively assess the impact of low insufflation pressure using AirSeal system (7mm Hg) during RAPN on post-operative patient pain (main location and intensity), 24 hours after surgery. The study will be conducted among 15 centers of the French research network on kidney cancer UroCCR.
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cabozantinib to avelumab versus avelumab alone in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and avelumab together may further shrink the cancer or prevent it from returning/progressing.
This phase II trial investigates the side effects of tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the immune system to decrease immune-related toxicities. Giving tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab may kill more tumor cells.
The Reduction of Allogenic Blood Transfusion in Locally Advanced Kidney Cancer Trial (RESTRICT). The primary objective is to reduce the number of units of allogenic blood transfusion in locally advanced kidney cancer (≥ cT2). Secondary objectives include reduction in perioperative complications, assessment of recurrence free-survival and improving overall survival.
This early phase I trial tests the use of a radioactive tracer (a drug that is visible during an imaging test) known as 18F-FMAU, for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with brain cancer or cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). A PET/CT scan is an imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive tracer (given through the vein) to take detailed pictures of areas inside the body where the tracer is taken up. 18F-FMAU may also help find the cancer and how far the disease has spread. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging test used to diagnose brain tumors. 18F-FMAU PET/CT in addition to MRI may make the finding and diagnosing of brain tumor easier.
This research study will assess what doses of Sacituzumab Govitecan and Enfortumab Vedotin can be safely combined in the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). The names of the study drugs in this investigational combination are: - Enfortumab Vedotin - Sacituzumab Govitecan
This study is designed prospectively to investigate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant PD-1 monoclonal antibody combined with cisplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Tislelizumab, an anti-programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tislelizumab in patients with PD-L1 positive urothelial carcinoma who progressed during/following platinum-containing therapy was proved in a phase 2 trial (CTR20170071). This trial focuses on the efficacy of Tislelizumab in combination with cisplatin-based chemotherapy to induce pathological down-staging of locally advanced UTUC in neoadjuvant setting.
To assess whether changes in quantitative tumor perfusion parameters after 3 weeks of treatment, as measured by power Doppler ultrasound, can predict initial objective response, defined by current standard-of-care, to therapy at 12 weeks after start of treatment
Researchers are doing this study to find out if the combination of the drugs axitinib and talazoparib is a safe and effective treatment for people with your previously treated advanced kidney cancer. Researchers will look for the highest dose of talazoparib that causes few or mild side effects when given in combination with a standard dose of axitinib.
