Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3. Phase I study has shown that the toxicity is manageable. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety profile between Famitinib and Sunitinib in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

In this Phase 1 Trial investigators plan to establish the MTD of HyperAcute®-Renal (HAR) immunotherapy in subjects with clinically metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

This was a Phase 1, open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study of durvalumab and tremelimumab in subjects with advanced cancers who were not eligible for, declined, or failed standard treatment. The primary study objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety profile of the durvalumab and tremelimumab combination. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of durvalumab and tremelimumab, and the antitumor activity (tumor response, progression-free survival [PFS], and overall survival [OS]) of the durvalumab and tremelimumab combination. (Note: Collection of PK and immunogenicity samples was removed by amendment; analysis was not done.) Exploratory objectives were to evaluate the biological activity of the durvalumab and tremelimumab combination.

Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is a newer type of focused radiation therapy that precisely and accurately delivers high dose radiation to a tumour, while sparing much of the nearby normal organs. The use of stereotactic radiotherapy results in high rates of tumour destruction with minimal side effects which are very well tolerated. Often stereotactic radiotherapy has been used to try to cure patients who have an early stage cancer which has not spread, but there is less experience with using it in patients with cancer which has spread. The purpose of this study is to measure how well stereotactic radiotherapy can destroy kidney cancer tumours which are no longer being controlled by Sunitinib and to measure how much longer such an approach will allow patients to stay on Sunitinib before needing to switch to another medication. Stereotactic radiotherapy will be used to treat only the growing tumours and then patients will continue with Sunitinib.

This is an open-label, 2 part study of pazopanib and/or MK 3475 in treatment naïve subjects with advanced RCC. Part 1 consists of a Phase I dose escalation of pazopanib + MK 3475 followed by an expansion cohort to determine the maximum tolerated regimen and the recommended Phase II dose. Part 2 is a randomized 3-arm Phase II study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of pazopanib + MK 3475 as compared to single-agent pazopanib and single-agent MK 3475. The objectives of this Phase I/II study are to test the safety and tolerability of pazopanib in combination with MK 3475, and study the clinical efficacy of pazopanib in combination with MK 3475 in subjects with advanced RCC as compared with single-agent pazopanib and single-agent MK 3475. Following the Urgent Safety Measure (USM) released on February 09, 2017, the phase II (Part 2) portion of this study will not commence.

To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the intrathecal morphine injection in the open nephrectomy.

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase I study of rSIFN-co (3 times a week via subcutaneous injection for 21 days, with 1 week of washout per cycle).

In this study will be examined whether alternating treatment between two classes of drugs (TKI's and m-TOR inhibitors) postpones or prevents drug resistance in patients with renal cancer.

Temsirolimus is a drug that is being studied to possibly treat kidney cancer. It works by starving the cancer of nutrients, by cutting off the blood supply, which is hoping to shrink the cancer. This study will look at the experimental use of temsirolimus, 12 weeks prior to the surgical removal of the entire kidney or a portion of the kidney that is involved by the tumor.

In the present phase 1-2 study the investigators aim to determine whether depletion of Tregs using metronomic cyclophosphamide can enhance the antitumor efficacy of everolimus in patients with mRCC not amenable to or progressive after a VEGF-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor containing treatment regimen. In the phase 1 part of the study the investigators will determine the optimal CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell-depleting dose and schedule of metronomic oral cyclophosphamide when given in combination with a fixed dose (10 mg daily) of everolimus. In the phase 2 part of the study the investigators will subsequently evaluate whether the number of patients who are cancer progression free at 4 months can be increased from 50% to 70% by adding metronomic cyclophosphamide (in the dose and schedule determined in the phase 1 part) to everolimus. In addition to efficacy, the investigators will evaluate treatment toxicity to determine whether this combination strategy is feasible and safe.
