Filter by:This study is being done with patients with advanced kidney cancer (also called renal cell carcinoma or RCC). This is a research study involving the use of the drug Nivolumab (also known as Opdivo®). Nivolumab is an anti-PD-1 antibody. It works by attaching to and blocking a molecule called PD-1. PD-1 is a protein that is present on different types of cells in the immune system and controls parts of the immune system by shutting it down. Antibodies that block PD-1 can potentially prevent PD-1 from shutting down the immune system, thus allowing it to recognize and help destroy cancer cells. In many countries (including the United States, European Union and Japan) Nivolumab is approved to treat certain cancer types. The purpose of the study is to test the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab in patients with advanced RCC when given intermittently. Nivolumab is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer, non small cell lung cancer, classical Hodgkin Lymphoma and Metastatic Melanoma. Nivolumab is FDA-approved for advanced RCC because has been shown to shrink RCC tumors that have spread outside the kidney.
This is a nation-wide retrospective observational study which will be performed in 50 centres in Spain, geographically representative of all regions, with at least 5 patients treated with first-line pazopanib for mRCC in daily clinical practice since April 2011 (date of approval of pazopanib in Spain), January 2016. Pazopanib is one of the standard tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) for the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. In our previous SPAZO study, the Spanish Oncologic Genitourinary Group (SOGUG) validated the IMDC prognostic classification for patients receiving first-line pazopanib, and demonstrated the effectiveness of this drug in routine clinical practice. However, in this series of 278 patients, we could not obtain enough information on the effectiveness of pazopanib in special subpopulations such as non-clear cell histologies, and others subgroups, due to a small simple size of each of these subpopulations. On the other hand, after the results of RECORD-1 and AXIS trials, switching to everolimus or axitinib is the current approach for patients who progresses to a first-line TKI. However, these pivotal studies did not include patients treated with first-line pazopanib study because this drug was not available at that time. The results of the SPAZO study also suggested that the effectiveness of second-line targeted therapies (TT) after pazopanib in routine clinical practice is similar to the observed in clinical trials after sunitinib, sorafenib or bevacizumab. In addition, the preliminary results indicated that there are not meaningful differences in the effectiveness of TKI or mTOR inhibitors after pazopanib, when the results are adjusted by the IMDC prognostic classification. However, the IMDC prognostic classification for second-line TT has not yet been validated for patients who receive pazopanib as first-line. In addition our sample size was not large enough to make a comparison of effectiveness between mTOR inhibitors and antiVEGF for each prognostic subgroups of the IMDC. Based on that, the Spanish Oncologic Genitourinary Group has decided to launch the SPAZO-2 study, in which we intend to prolong the follow up of patients included in SPAZO, and to increase the sample size with new patients from new centres, in order to obtain a larger sample in each of the subpopulations of interest, with the objective of obtaining more information about the above questions.
The purpose of this study is to plan for future clinical trials in patients with metastatic urological cancers. Diluted iodinated contrast will be injected intra-tumorally under CT fluoroscopy guidance into bone, lymph node, soft tissue and liver metastases in subjects with metastatic prostate cancer, urothelial carcinoma, or renal cell carcinoma. Pre- and post-injection CT images will be obtained to determine the injection parameters needed for optimal distribution throughout metastases of a given size. A biopsy of the metastatic site will also be obtained to validate expression of the receptor CD155.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of high-grade (i.e. Grade 3-4 and Grade 5 of CTCAE v4.0) adverse reactions of interest in patients with metastatic RCC who have progressed during or after receiving at least one prior systemic anti-angiogenic treatment and who are eligible for nivolumab monotherapy.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well probiotic yogurt supplement works in reducing diarrhea in patients with kidney cancer that has spread from the primary site to other places in the body (metastatic) and that are being treated with vascular endothelial growth factor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Studying samples of blood and stool from patients who eat probiotic yogurt and those who avoid probiotic yogurt may help doctors plan better treatment.
Aim of this phase 1b study is to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with VEGFR, mTOR or immune checkpoint inhibitors.
The purpose of this study is to know about the quality of life of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who are being treated with sunitinib, pazopanib or sorafenib, and who suffer from fatigue and hand-foot syndrome, with personal inter-variability, and to explore measures that can be taken in terms of both everyday lifestyle and treatment to mitigate or cure such side effects that affect patients.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the progression free survival (PFS), based on investigator radiologic review, of AGS-16C3F compared to axitinib in subjects with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of single agent ibrutinib or the combination treatments of ibrutinib with everolimus, paclitaxel, docetaxel, pembrolizumab or cetuximab in selected advance gastrointestinal and genitourinary tumors.
This research study is comparing different drug combinations as a possible treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and bone metastases. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Combination of Radium-223 and Sorafenib - Combination of Radium-223 and Pazopanib
