Filter by:The main goal of the research study is to determine whether treating renal cell cancer patients with the study drug, hydroxychloroquine, along with IL-2, a standard treatment of kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, can make the cancer easier to kill and eliminate. Another goal is to see how the study drug affects the body's immune cells which fight cancer cells.
The primary objective of this study is to answer the question "Is it possible to inject the Combig-DC vaccine in a renal tumour without getting unacceptable side effects"? Patients newly diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma will get Combig-DC vaccinations at two occasions in a two weeks period (day 1 and day 14). After another two weeks the kidney will be eliminated. Adverse events will be registered, as well as changes in vital signs(heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature) and lab parameters. Immunologic response will be evaluated by measuring immunologic markers in blood and tumour tissue, and measuring the size of the metastases three months after nephrectomy.
In the past 5 years, treatment for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) has focused on agents directed at blocking tumor and vascular growth pathways. Sunitinib blocks the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFr) and temsirolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Both sunitinib and temsirolimus are FDA approved agents for mRCC. When agents like these are given together, the toxicity increases but they can be given safely, at full doses, sequentially. We hypothesize that alternating these agents will double the progression free survival (PFS) of the agents when given sequentially.
This study will evaluate everolimus as second-line therapy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Each patient will be enrolled and stratified in one of three cohorts based upon their first-line therapy: 1) prior cytokines, 2) prior sunitinib, or 3) prior anti-VEGF therapy other than sunitinib.
Study has two parts: 1. Dose-finding: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RAD001 (everolimus , Afinitor®) in combination with BEZ235 in patients with advanced solid tumors. 2. Dose-expansion: to assess safety and tolerability of RAD001 and BEZ235 at the MTD in patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer and metastatic renal cell cancer
The purpose of this registry is to collect information on patients who are receiving treatment with Proleukin in an organized way, and to learn more about patient care during and after treatment.
A single arm, open-label, multi-center phase IV clinical trial for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, who have progressed on or after the first VEGF-targeted therapy.
The primary objective of the phase III study is to investigate whether IMA901 can prolong overall survival in patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) when added to standard first-line therapy with sunitinib. Secondary objectives include a subgroup analysis of overall survival in patients defined by a certain biomarker signature, the investigation of progression-free survival, best tumor response, safety, and immunological parameters.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dovitinib versus sorafenib in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter dose-escalation phase I study using a 3+3+3 design (i.e., 3 to 9 patients per dose level) in patients with mRCC or others advanced refractory solid tumors. Enrolment will be performed to include approximately ½ of patients with mRCC. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of limiting toxicities leading to definitive discontinuation of the study drugs during the first 24 weeks in absence of progression of the disease. Secondary endpoints included the occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) evaluated during the first two cycles; overall response rate, 6-months progression-free survival rate and Pharmacokinetic assessments.
