Active clinical trials for "Angiomyolipoma"

The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the safety and efficacy of everolimus in Taiwanese patients with renal angiomyolipoma (AML) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) . Only patients who fulfil the local reimbursement criteria of everolimus for TSC-AML will be included in this study.

The aim of the present study is the identification, in liquid biopsies, of a new molecular panel able to discriminate renal cancer patients from controls, to discriminate patients with a malignant lesion from those with a benign mass, to determine aggressiveness of RCC, and to differentiate the most common histological subtypes of RCC (clear cell, papillary 1, papillary 2, and chromophobe). This new molecular panel will be combined with clinical parameters to provide a screening test and to improve the accuracy and specificity of diagnosis, prognosis, and histological classification of renal cancer.

The purpose of this research study is to see if oral everolimus is tolerable and effective in the treatment of sporadic Angiomyolipomas (AMLs). AMLs are the most common non-cancerous tumor of the kidney. They are composed of blood vessels, muscle cells and fat cells.Everolimus is already an approved drug for several other diseases like kidney cancer, but is being studied now specifically to see if it is helpful for people with AML.

The EASYX™ Liquid Embolic is a new injectable, precipitating polymeric agent for the obliteration of vascular spaces through direct puncture or catheter access performed under X-ray guidance. The embolic liquid is an iodinized Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Polymer ether. Iodine groups are covalently grafted to the PVA polymer backbone, whereby a stable nondegradable polymer with the desired features is created. The resulting polymer is dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO). EASYX™ is CE-marked since December 2016 and has been used in humans a few time for type II endoleaks, portal vein and varicocele (<10 cases at the date of submission). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EASYX™ embolization liquid for the percutaneous treatment of vascular lesions, i.e. embolization of varicocele, type II endoleaks, portal vein before surgery, active peripheral bleeding or angiomyolipoma (AML).

Treatment of angiomyolipomas is based on invasive techniques such as surgery or embolization. Development of anti-angiogenic therapies is a major and growing field of research in hypervascularized tumors. Angiomyolipomas have been shown to regress after prolonged treatment with mTOR inhibitors (Sirolimus), but with a large proportion of secondary effects. We showed recently that beta-blockers were able to induce regression of infantile hemagiomas. Consequently, we looked for and found, histologically, in a few cases of angiomyolipomas the presence of beta2 receptors. The aim of the study is to estimate if beta-blockers could induce regression or stabilization of renal angiomyolipomas in tuberous sclerosis in a pilot study.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether rapamycin is safe and effective in the treatment of renal angiomyolipomas in patients with tuberousclerosis.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RAD001 in treating patients with Angiomyolipoma associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex or Sporadic Lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of everolimus (Afinitor®) in Chinese patients with renal angiomyolipoma (AML) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

This research study is evaluating a drug called rapamycin as a possible treatment for the lumps (or tumors) that form in the kidneys, called angiomyolipomas, in people who have either TSC or LAM. Kidney angiomyolipomas are tumors that are made up of blood vessels, muscle and fat. Rapamycin has been approved to treat other diseases, but it is investigational for treating kidney angiomyolipomas. Investigational means that it is being as a possible treatment for kidney angiomyolipomas but is not currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating this disease.

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects RAD001 has on angiomyolipomas of a person with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and to determine the safe dose of RAD001 without toxicity. The hypothesis is that the drug will inhibit the growth of the angiomyolipomas and possibly even cause regression.
