Filter by:VET3-TGI is an oncolytic immunotherapy designed to treat advanced cancers. VET3-TGI has not been given to human patients yet, and the current study is designed to find a safe and effective dose of VET3-TGI when administered by direct injection into tumor(s) (called an intratumoral injection) or when given intravenously (into the vein) both alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors (STEALTH-001).
Randomized, open-label clinical trial to compare renal volumetry pre and post operative in patients undergoing two types of partial nephrectomy techniques for renal tumors: robot-assisted vs videolaparoscopic.
This is a randomized controlled trial that will be preceded by a safety trial focusing on the safety and efficacy of robotic telesurgery. The hypothesis is that robotic telesurgery has a non-inferior primary endpoint event rate to local laparoscopic surgery.
The goal of this research study is to establish the safety and then to explore the effectiveness of infusing the combination of cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell in the blood that is collected and bathed in special proteins to help identify and treat curtained advanced cancers, combined with N-803, a medication that increases the activity of Interleukin-15, which is a cytokine that activates immune cells, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Names of the study therapies involved in this study are/is: - CIML NK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy) - N-803 (a type of recombinant human IL-15 superagonist)
Pear Bio has developed a predictive biomarker technology that combines 3D cell culture, microscopy and computer vision to measure the response of an individual patient's tumor sample to different systemic therapy regimens that are tested simultaneously ex vivo. This study will recruit patients with advanced or metastatic kidney cancer who are due to start a clinically-indicated new line of therapy. The oncologist will be blinded to the response on the Pear Bio test (the test will be run in parallel with the patient's treatment). The primary objective of this study is to establish the sensitivity and specificity of Pear Bio's test results against patient outcomes (objective response, progression-free survival, depth and duration of response, overall survival).
This Phase Ib/II clinical study is an open-label, multi-cohort, two-stage trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of different doses of TT-00420 tablets in combination with Toripalimab injection for treating patients with advanced urological tumors. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of TT-00420 tablets at the optimal dose combined with Toripalimab in treating different types of advanced urological tumors.
Background: Rare tumors of the genitourinary (GU) tract can appear in the kidney, bladder, ureters, and penis. Rare tumors are difficult to study because there are not enough people to conduct large trials for new treatments. Two drugs-sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and atezolizumab-are each approved to treat other cancers. Researchers want to find out if the two drugs used together can help people with GU. Objective: To test SG, either alone or combined with atezolizumab, in people with rare GU tumors. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older with rare GU tumors. These may include small cell carcinoma of the bladder; squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder; primary adenocarcinoma of the bladder; renal medullary carcinoma; or squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of heart function. They will have imaging scans. They may need a biopsy: A small needle will be used to remove a sample of tissue from the tumor. Both SG and atezolizumab are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. All participants will receive SG on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day treatment cycle. Some participants will also receive atezolizumab on day 1 of each cycle. Blood and urine tests, imaging scans, and other exams will be repeated during study visits. Treatment may continue for up to 5 years. Follow-up visits will continue for 5 more years.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the utility of patient navigation by comparing high intensity patient navigation to low intensity navigation approaches to improving cancer trial enrollment of patients treated in academic and community cancer centers. Patient navigation is a strategy for increasing patients access to cancer care by helping the participant overcome barriers in the participants communities and within the health care system by providing a bridge between the patient and the health care system. The primary objective of this study is to determine if a high intensity patient navigation program will improve patients enrollment on clinical trial in comparison to a low intensity patient navigation. Participants who agree to participate and are eligible will be randomly assigned to either the high intensity or low intensity approach.
Indocyanine Green (ICG) is a dye which fluoresces under near-infrared (NIR) light. It has been used for several applications in adult surgery. The CI is pioneering its use in children's kidney cancer surgery for lymph node identification and removal. This study concentrates on its use for procedures where only the part of the kidney containing tumour is removed. It is known that kidney tumours in both adults and children do not take up ICG at all. This absence of uptake can be used to define the border between normal and abnormal renal tissue giving a real-time picture of the area of tumour. This then delivers surgeons an intra-operative roadmap for removing only the cancerous part of the kidney. At present the international society of paediatric oncology - renal tumour study group (SIOP-RTSG) protocol, which is followed in the UK, advises consideration of partial nephrectomy for children with bilateral renal tumours and in children with unilateral tumours who have a renal tumour predisposition syndrome. There is ongoing debate about partial nephrectomy in unilateral renal tumour surgery in children who do not have a predisposition syndrome. This study aims to provide the evidence that paediatric renal tumours do not take up ICG at a naked-eye level and confirm this at a cell level. ICG will be infused into kidneys containing tumour once they have been removed from the patient, The kidney and tumour will be observed under NIR light to show where the areas of fluorescence are. Then, a pathologist will prepare the specimen in theatre, in the same way they would do in the lab. The specimen would be bivalved and reviewed under NIR. Microscopy specimens of the border between normal and abnormal tissue would then be reviewed with an NIR capable microscope. The standard histopathological assessment would then take place.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate peri and post-operative outcomes as well as long-term survival of 3D IGRAPN compared to conventional Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN) for moderate and highly complex renal tumors. The main questions aim to answer: - peri-operative complications - oncological safety - long term renal function Participants will be asked to do undergo 3D-IGRAPN. Researchers will compare 3D-IGRAPN to RAPN to see if peri-operative outcomes are better in the experimental group.
