Filter by:This study will assess whether Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) can provide comparable local control, with similar or improved toxicity rates compared to Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) when treating small renal cell carcinomas.
Preserving kidney function during removal of a kidney tumor is becoming increasingly important as rates of chronic kidney disease increase. A novel modifiable factor (suture closure of the defect caused by tumor removal) was discovered on retrospective studies to account for nearly two-thirds of the 15% volume loss commonly seen in operated kidneys. We hypothesize that a randomized controlled surgical trial will show that omitting the suture closure both preserves renal function and will not lead to unreasonable postoperative complications.
The purpose of this study is to collect prospective data for use as a comparator for future subsequent studies attempting to increase the efficacy or reduce the toxicity of gamma knife radiosurgery.
This is a study to evaluate the safety of MRX34 in patients with primary liver cancer or other selected solid tumors or hematologic malignancies. The drug is given intravenously, for 5 days in a row and then two weeks off.
Phase 1b: To evaluate safety and tolerability and determine a recommended phase 2 dose for TRC105 when added to standard dose axitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Phase 2: To estimate the PFS of patients with advanced or metastatic RCC by RECIST 1.1 criteria in patients treated with axitinib and TRC105 compared to those treated with axitinib alone, following failure of one prior VEGF TKI
Partial Nephrectomy has become the standard treatment in patients with tumours <7cm (T1). Even though this is a nephron sparing surgery, there is still potential for acute kidney injury, due to ischemia during the surgery. Remote Ischemia Preconditioning may prevent acute kidney injury and in turn chronic kidney disease. Remote Ischemia pre-conditioning involves applying a blood pressure cuff and inflating and deflating several times immediately prior to surgery.
This Phase 2a study will investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ASONEP™ (sonepcizumab/LT1009) when administered intravenously once a week, every 4 weeks (or cycle), to subjects with refractory renal cell carcinoma (RCC) until the disease progresses. Subjects who have failed 3 prior treatments for RCC including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and/or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors or who have tumors that cannot be surgically removed will be eligible for screening.
Many patients who are candidates for nephron-sparing surgery, partial nephrectomy is now the standard treatment with a surgical, small, clinical T1 tumor (<7 cm). In many recent studies, partial nephrectomy provides equivalent oncologic, and superior functional, outcomes compared with the standard radical nephrectomy over the short and long term (2, 3). Partial nephrectomy techniques, whether open, laparoscopic or robotic, typically involve hilar clamping, which creates the desired bloodless operative field, allowing for more precise tumor excision and renal reconstruction. This hilar clamping eventually may lead to ischemic kidney injury which can compromise the functional outcomes of the remaining kidney.We are working now to develop a novel technique of Hypo-Perfusion by achieving partial renal arterial clamping, with the goal of completely eliminating surgical ischemia to the renal remnant.
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety of SGN-75 in combination with everolimus in patients with CD70-positive metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to see how well the study drug, axitinib, helps control renal (kidney) cancer that has come back (recurrent) or spread (metastatic). Patients must have already been treated as a participant in a clinical trial with sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib or placebo (sugar pill) after their initial surgery. This study will examine the effect of adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) therapy (sorafenib, sunitinib or pazopanib) on subsequent exposure to TKI with axitinib in the first-line recurrent or metastatic setting.
