Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well real-time pharmacokinetic therapeutic drug monitoring works in preventing stomatitis from developing in patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or kidney cancer that are receiving a type of cancer drug called everolimus. Stomatitis is a common side effect of everolimus that causes inflammation of the mouth, with or without oral ulcers, and frequently leads to patients discontinuing the medication. Monitoring the blood levels of everolimus and making adjustments in a patient's dose may be able to decrease the incidence of stomatitis, while maintaining the effectiveness of everolimus to treat the cancer.
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give stereotactic body radiation therapy and T-cell infusion in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer. Giving total body irradiation before a T-cell infusion stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. Chemotherapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the radiation therapy.
The purpose of this research study is to determine how sunitinib (sunitinib malate) causes fatigue. Patients will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire (survey) to rate their levels of fatigue every two weeks while they are participating in this research study. The questionnaire takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and is 9 questions. A series of physical measurements for fatigue will be performed before the first dose of sunitinib and again (4) weeks later to see if there are any changes in physical level of fatigues
RATIONALE: Panobinostat and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving panobinostat together with everolimus and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable renal cell cancer that does not respond to treatment with sunitinib malate or sorafenib tosylate
This randomized pilot trial studies clamped or unclamped surgery in treating patients with kidney cancer. Unclamped surgery for kidney cancer may have fewer side effects
This phase I/randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bevacizumab and to see how well it works when given together with or without MEDI-522 in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic kidney cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab and MEDI-522, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab and MEDI-522 may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether bevacizumab is more effective when given together with or without MEDI-522 in treating kidney cancer.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of isotretinoin when given together with vorinostat and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Isotretinoin may cause kidney cancer cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving vorinostat together with isotretinoin may kill more tumor cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well AZD2171 works in treating patients with refractory metastatic kidney cancer. AZD2171 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.
Sorafenib 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 sorafenib before and after surgery may be an effective treatment for kidney cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for metastatic kidney cancer.
Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of kidney cancer. Sorafenib may help interferon alfa kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving sorafenib together with interferon alfa may kill more tumor cells. This phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib with interferon alfa works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.
