Filter by:This is a Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation trial in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard therapy; tumors may include malignant melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. These tumor types were selected because evidence of biological activity was observed in these tumor types in a Phase I study of JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) administered by intratumoral injection in patients with metastatic disease to the liver. Patients will receive treatment at one of five dose levels in a sequential dose-escalating design.
This phase 1/2a trial is conducted in Europe. The first part of the trial is a dose escalation safety trial determining the maximum tolerated dose of rIL-21 when administered in combination with sunitinib. The second part, scheduled to start in September 2008, is a randomised 2-arm trial comparing the anti-tumour effect of rIL-21 plus sunitinib with sunitinib alone.
The purpose of this registry is to record information of therapy reality of metastatic or locally advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma by office-based medical oncologists in Germany.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a new anti-angiogenic drug called sorafenib, in combination with radiotherapy, for renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone and is causing significant pain. The study will find a safe dose of sorafenib for this combination study treatment, look at side effects, and test if the study treatment is effective in controlling the pain experienced from this type of renal cell cancer. . There will be two parts or phases to this study The purpose of the first phase is to find the highest dose of sorafenib that can be given safely to patients, when combined with radiotherapy. We will also see what kind of effects the study treatment has on you and your cancer. Participants in this phase will receive a dose of sorafenib that has shown to be well-tolerated in humans. If the side effects are tolerable for this dose of sorafenib when combined with radiotherapy, new patients will be asked to join the study and will receive a dose of sorafenib higher than the last study participant. In the second phase, new study participants will receive the dose of sorafenib that was determined to be safe in the first phase. Side effects will continue to be looked at and the effectiveness on controlling pain symptoms from this type of cancer, will also be looked at.
The ROSORC trial is a randomized study comparing the efficacy of a new association (sorafenib and IL-2) versus the standard therapy (sorafenib) in patients affected by different histotypes of metastatic RCC. This study is a first line therapy for the advanced disease. The primary objective is the progression free survival (PFS) in the 2 arms of therapy and the secondary objective is the overall survival (OS) and the response rate (RR) and the safety profile of the combination compared to sorafenib alone.
This is a multicenter Phase III study to demonstrate the diagnostic utility of 124I-cG250 PET/CT pre-surgical imaging in patients with operable renal masses.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of tivozanib (AV-951) and Torisel™ given in combination for renal cell cancer. The study will also assess the effects of the combination of tivozanib (AV-951) and Torisel™ on the tumor. Tivozanib (AV-951) is a VEGF-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Temsirolimus is an mTOR inhibitor which is approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the combination of sunitinib and gemcitabine is effective in treating patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The safety of this combination will also be studied. Sunitinib is approved by the FDA for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. However, some patients' cancers do not respond to treatment or stops responding after initially responding. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and several other cancers. It is not approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Previous research has suggested that combining gemcitabine with sunitinib may have some effectiveness in treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) provides a novel approach for cancer treatment. LBH589, an oral HDAC inhibitor, has been well tolerated in phase I trials and has shown activity against several types of cancer. In this nonrandomized phase II trial, we are investigating the activity of LBH589 in the treatment of patients with refractory clear cell renal carcinoma.
This study was conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the cancer vaccine IMA901 and GM-CSF as adjuvant in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Patients received vaccination with GM-CSF followed by IMA901 during the study period of 9 months. Patients received pre-treatment with a single i.v. infusion of cyclophosphamide prior to the first vaccination.
