Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat compared to sunitinib or pazopanib in participants with locally advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with a clear cell component who have not received prior systemic therapy for their mRCC.

The purpose of this research study is to see what effect the combination of lenvatinib plus everolimus has in local and metastatic renal cell carcinoma to potentially make surgically unresectable tumors resectable.

Hypothesis: Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SAbR) prolongs progression-free survival for patients with oligometastatic kidney cancer (RCC) and delays the initiation of systemic therapy. Primary Objectives: • To evaluate the delay in time to start of systemic therapy (TTST) as a surrogate of progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the first day of SAbR to start of systemic therapy. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the modified progression-free survival (mPFS) for patients with oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma who are treated with SAbR. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) To evaluate the cancer specific survival (CSS) To evaluate the local control rate of irradiated lesions. To measure the health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

The primary objective of this study is: -To evaluate the safety and tolerability of HBI-8000 when combined with a standard dose and regimen of nivolumab, and to evaluate frequency and severity of toxicities of this combination treatment The secondary objectives of this study include: To explore the efficacy of study treatment as measured by Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), Duration of Response (DoR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in all subjects treated at RP2D To obtain pharmacokinetics of twice weekly HBI-8000 when administered in combination with nivolumab administered once every two weeks (Phase 1b all sites) To obtain pharmacokinetics of twice weekly HBI-8000 when administered in combination with nivolumab administered per package insert dose and administration (Phase 2 selected sites) To characterize the effect of HBI-8000 on the electrocardiogram QT corrected (QTc) interval (Phase 1b only) Exploratory: To investigate the kinetics and extent of histone acetylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at the RP2D of HBI-8000 (Phase 2 only) To explore potential biomarkers for disease response through sequential sampling of blood and/or tumor tissue in subjects consenting to correlative sub-studies at participating sites (Phase 2 only) Dose Escalation (Phase 1b) will include up to 18 subjects, followed by Cohort Expansion (Phase 2) including up to 100 subjects (melanoma up to 60 subjects and NSCLC up to 40 subjects at MTD and/or RP2D.

It is a Phase 1 Multicenter Open-Label Multi-Cohort Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Immunogenicity of GNR-051 in Subjects with Advanced Solid Malignancies.

Background: At the present time, there are no drugs that have been proven to work in patients with papillary kidney cancer that has spread (metastasized) beyond the kidneys. Researchers are interested in determining whether the combination of the drugs bevacizumab and erlotinib can be used to treat metastatic papillary kidney cancer. Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC) is an inherited type of papillary kidney cancer (it runs in families). Papillary kidney cancer can also occur sporadically, or without a family connection. More research is needed to determine whether treatments for papillary kidney cancer, such as bevacizumab and erlotinib, work in inherited or sporadic types of kidney cancer, and if so, whether there are any differences. Objectives: -To determine the effectiveness of the combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib as a treatment for patients with (1) metastatic HLRCC kidney cancer and (2) metastatic kidney cancer not associated with HLRCC (or sporadic papillary RCC). Eligibility: Individuals 18 years of age or older who have been diagnosed with papillary kidney cancer that has spread beyond the kidneys. Participants may have either HLRCC or sporadic papillary kidney cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with a full medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests, and computed tomography (CT) and other scans to evaluate tumor size and treatment options. Participants will receive 28-day treatment cycles of bevacizumab (given intravenously every 2 weeks) and erlotinib (a tablet taken by mouth daily). Every cycle, participants will return for regular blood and urine tests. Every other cycle, participants will have imaging scans to assess tumor size and response to treatment. Female participants who have uterine fibroid tumors related to their kidney cancer may have additional scans to assess tumor size and response to treatment. Participants will continue to receive treatment on the study until their tumors grow or spread to new areas (disease progression), intolerable side effects develop, a better treatment option becomes available, the study closes, it is unsafe to continue treatment, or the participant decides not to remain in the study.

This study is being conducted to determine if a combination of AZD6244 given orally twice a day with standard doses of selected chemotherapies will be safe and tolerable for cancer patients with advanced solid tumors. The highest tolerated dose of AZD6244 in combination with selected chemotherapies will be evaluated. The study will also investigate how AZD6244 in combination with standard chemotherapies are absorbed, distributed and excreted by the body as well as the length of time that the drugs remain in the body. Initial and periodic assessments will establish patient response to the combination therapies

Aged fragile patients are not usually included in clinical trials and efficacy and tolerability of the different available treatments in this population are unknown. Conversely, ageing has been associated with a decrease in the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors due to a decline in the effectiveness of the immune system (immunosenescence). In the Checkmate 025 trial comparing nivolumab with everolimus, the Hazard Ratio (HR) in patients older than 75 years old favoured everolimus, 1.23 (0.66-2.31). Thus, TKis might be a better treatment option for this population. However, the absence of data and concerns about possible secondary effects associated, can preclude clinicians to treat aged fragile patients with cabozantinib. A pilot phase II trial would help to have data on safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in this aged fragile population. In METEOR trial around 60% of patients reduced the dose of cabozantinib because of toxicity and tolerance problems. It is suspected that the efficacy of cabozantinib in the population to be included in this trial (aged and fragile) will be similar to that observed in CABOSUN trial (disease control rate around 75%). However, there is no information available in this group of patients. On the other hand, in the >75 years old subgroup within the METEOR trial, 37% discontinued due to adverse events, 85% needed dose reductions and median average daily dose was 33,6 mg. For this reason, the cabozantinib initial dose chosen for patients to be included in this study is 40 mg/day.

This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab given in combination with cabozantinib versus cabozantinib alone in participants with inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who experienced radiographic tumor progression during or after Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) treatment in the metastatic setting.

Metastatic kidney cancer patients on systemic therapy often develop resistance to limited sites that leads to changing of the systemic therapy. Local therapy to the sites of progression may allow patients to continue on the same systemic therapy that is otherwise effective and being tolerated well. Hypothesis: Stereotactic ablative radiation (SAbR) can delay the change of systemic therapy with oligoprogressive renal cell cancer (RCC) and improve progression free survival (PFS). Primary Objectives: • To evaluate the benefit of SAbR for oligo-progressive mRCC (Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer). Secondary Objectives: • To measure the toxicity, safety and tolerance of concurrent systemic therapy and SAbR for mRCC patients and its impact on quality of life.
