Filter by:This is a pilot study of biomarker evaluation and safety of pre-incisional ketorolac for patients undergoing surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. There is significant promise in the use of preoperative ketorolac to decrease the inflammatory response after surgical resection of tumors, thereby potentially reducing the risk of distant metastatic tumor spread and improving survival. A total of 56 patients (28 per disease site) will be enrolled into the experimental arm and will receive ketorolac prior to surgery. About 10 patients will be allocated randomly into a control group, for each disease site, for a total of 76 patients enrolled. The research will advance scientific knowledge by studying the safety of a preoperative dose of ketorolac prior to major surgical resection, which needs to be assessed prior to proceeding with a larger phase II study designed to evaluate traditional efficacy endpoints such as recurrence and overall survival.
The aim of this study is to determine the utility of renal ultrasonography (US) in the detection of abdominal recurrences after definitive therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and compare the detection rate to that of cross-sectional imaging.
This research study will assess whether cabozantinib, nivolumab and ipilimumab in combination are safe and effective in slowing down the growth of kidney cancer(renal cell carcinoma or RCC) that has advanced or spread to other areas the body.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of immunotherapy nivolumab and the targeted therapy cabozantinib prior to removal of the kidney, will increase the number subjects who are without any visible kidney cancer in their body at some point during the course of treatment.
The recent introduction of anti-PD-1 (nivolumab and pembrolizumab) and anti- PD-L1 (atezolizumab, durvalumab, avelumab) immune checkpoint inhibitors revolutionized oncological guidelines. Durable responses and prolongation of survival with these agents come at the price of the development of immune related adverse events (irAEs). Innovative tools are required in order to manage irAEs and to prevent their potential relapse, with the goal to improve the outcome of patients. In this regard, the Investigators aim to develop a multidisciplinary clinical pathway for cancer patients that are treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
This study will investigate OC-001 as monotherapy, and in combination with an anti-Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1) or anti-Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) Antibody inhibitor, in various cancer types
PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews will be used to search for articles published from January 1965 to July 2019 using the key words "renal cancer", "lymphocyte to monocyte ratio" and "prognosis". No restrictions to date, language, or article type will be applied. Cohort or observational studies in patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma histopathologically confirmed, with hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) that assessed association between LMR and overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) will be analyzed.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, non-randomized, 4-part Phase 1 trial to determine the safety profile and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of INBRX 106 administered as a single agent or in combination with the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Radiation therapy has been shown to be very effective at relieving pain caused by bone metastases. However, certain types of cancers such as prostate, breast, kidney, and melanoma can have resistance to radiation, making treatment less successful. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a newer form of focused treatment that gives higher doses of radiation without damage to surrounding organs. It often is used to help control and cure disease, but less commonly as a way to palliate and treat symptoms. This study is looking at using SBRT for the purposes of improving pain caused by bone metastases in prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, and melanoma patients. It is theorized that the higher levels of radiation may be able to combat the resistance some tumour cells have to radiotherapy and provide improved pain response to treatment. The investigators are looking to show that SBRT has a role in helping this group of patients deal with painful bone lesions from their cancer without increasing side effects and toxicity from the radiation treatment.
The aim of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and ipilimumab, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in T1aN0M0 clear-cell RCC patients ineligible for surgical treatment.
