Filter by:Based on different subtypes, subjects will be placed in one of three treatment groups to explore individual efficacy and safety of various treatment regimen.
T Cell Receptor-engineered T-cell therapy (TCR T-cell therapy) offers a potentially transformative approach to treating cancer, but is currently limited by the lack of known targets (Maus and June, 2016; Ping et al., 2018). Arguably the most clinically meaningful way to discover new targets and TCRs for TCR T-cell therapy is to study the tumorinfiltrating lymphocytes of patients that are actively responding to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. These T cells are clonally expanded as a result of checkpoint inhibition and are responsible for the patient's clinical response. The goal of this study is to acquire tumor and blood samples from up to 40 patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) malignancies who respond to ICI therapy. T cells will be isolated from these samples and the targets of their TCRs determined using TScan's genome-wide, high-throughput target ID technology. The expected outcome of this study is the discovery of a collection of new targets for TCR T-cell therapy, along with associated TCRs that will then be developed as novel therapies for patients with similar malignancies.
This study is being carried out to see if the drugs MEDI4736, Savolitinib and Tremelimumab can be used alone or in combination to reduce the size of tumours in patients with kidney cancer. The drugs being tested in this study have an anti-tumour effect and have been tested in pre-clinical and human studies before. MEDI4736 and tremelimumab work with the immune system to help the body fight against tumour cells with immune cells. Savolitinib works to correct a faulty signal which causes tumour growth. If a patient is eligible for the study and decides to take part, they will be enrolled into one of 3 stages of the study. - First stage [CLOSED TO RECRUITMENT]: aims to find the optimal dose of MEDI4736+savolitinib. - Second stage [CLOSED TO RECRUITMENT]: patients with papillary cell cancer will be treated with MEDI4736+savolitinib. Patients with clear cell cancer will be randomised to one of four treatment arms and receive MEDI4736, savolitinib, MEDI4736+savolitinib, or MEDI4736+tremelimumab. - Third stage [NOT YET OPEN TO RECRUITMENT]: patients will be tested for biomarkers before enrolment, and depending on the results will be allocated to one of 2 treatments (MEDI4736 alone or MEDI4736+tremelimumab) to see if certain biomarkers are linked to drug efficacy.
