Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

Kidney cancer is one of the ten most common malignancies, and the incidence is increasing in recent year. From Hong Kong Cancer Registry, there was about 670 new cases diagnosed in 2016, and had been increased by 46% compared to 2007.Within the broad classification of kidney cancers, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 85% of all cases and greater than 90% of all renal malignancies. Despite the improved understanding and also diagnosis for kidney cancer, still about one fourth of patients will presented at metastatic stage or developed recurrence after initial treatment and required further systemic therapy. Facing the wide range of available options for systemic therapy, the current challenge is how to select the most effective treatment. Unfortunately, there is no good biomarkers available to aid treatment selection. Currently, there are some approaches to try to test the response of kidney cancer to different chemotherapeutic agents. Previous studies showed that 3D organoid culture model can improve our ability to model tumor behavior. Organoid culture technology may provide opportunities for new drug development and drug screening. In this study, investigators aim to establish a reliable and effective method to cultivate kidney cancer cells, then will provide researchers for further information on personalized and targeted therapy on kidney cancer for local Hong Kong patients.

The purpose of this study is to understand how patients with mRCC respond to the study medicine (called sunitinib) when they receive it as the first line of treatment after finding out the cause for the disease. This study will look into how different and how well groups of people with high chances of developing the disease respond to the study medicine. All data for this study will be anonymously extracted from data already entered in RCC Registry which is owned by Turkish Oncology Group Association (TOGD). This study will pull out records from the Registry between 01-Mar-2019 and 30-Oct-2022 that belongs to people: who are Turkish citizens who are older than 18 years who were found out to have mRCC who received sunitinib as the first line treatment after finding out the cause for the disease This study will look at the responses, experiences and how long the patients use the study medicine sunitinib.

Cabozantinib is an orally bioavailable tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved in patients with aRCC previously treated with a Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy. Cabozantinib has been increasingly used in routine care in second line and more in advanced or metastatic RCC in France. Cabozantinib effectiveness and safety notably in a real-word setting are now well known, but too many questions that arise during the routine care of patients with aRCC remain unanswered by the current literature. Obtaining data on cabozantinib effectiveness and treatment pattern in those participants subpopulations will allow physicians to improve patients care. The aims of this study are to describe the effectiveness - in terms of Duration of Treatment (DOT), Best Overall Response (BOR) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - and the safety of second line cabozantinib a real-life setting in France and to address the unanswered questions that arise during the routine care of patients with aRCC treated with cabozantinib in order to improve the care of these participants.

Everolimus indirectly inhibits angiogenesis by reducing VEGF production. VEGF can be non-invasively visualized and quantified with serial 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging in patients. The investigators hypothesize that a decline in VEGF early during everolimus treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma predicts treatment efficacy. 89Zr-bevacizumab PET scans will be performed at baseline, after 2 and 6 weeks of everolimus treatment in 14 adult patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Rationale: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. Purpose: This clinical trial is studying MRI in predicting response to sunitinib malate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.

In this study the researchers investigate the influence of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors sunitinib and sorafenib, on the normal humoral and cellular immuno response to influenza vaccination in patients with metastases of renal cell carcinoma or a GIST.

This surveillance are to identify problems/questions regarding adverse events, factors that are considered to affect on safety and efficacy in the clinical practice of using Nexavar

This non-interventional study includes patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who are treated with Sunitinib alone or combined with other systemic therapies. The aim of the trial is to increase knowledge about usage, dosage, efficacy and safety under conditions of routine use of Sunitinib.

Pazopanib is approved by the FDA and EMA as targeted therapy for the indication of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Hepatic safety events were observed in the pazopanib pivotal clinical trial and the U.S. pazopanib label information contains a 'black box warning' regarding hepatotoxicity. These clinical observations have prompted GSK to undertake a proactive pharmacovigilance strategy focused on hepatic safety that goes beyond spontaneous reporting of adverse events. The goals of the study are to assess prescriber compliance with pazopanib label guidelines for liver monitoring among patients with RCC, as well as to quantify and characterize the hepatic safety profile of the product in real-world clinical practice compared to other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs. As part of regulatory commitments, GSK will conduct parallel epidemiologic analyses in different patient populations as represented in multiple databases of electronic medical records. To enhance accrual of data, GSK will conduct this safety surveillance program simultaneously across datasets in order to detect and characterize all cases of liver enzyme elevations in diverse populations of patients receiving pazopanib. Two additional goals of this study are to evaluate the incidence of cases of combinations of liver enzyme elevations indicative of Hy's Law and drug-induced acute liver failure among users of pazopanib compared to users of other anti-VEGF drugs. This research effort will be coordinated by an external coordinating center. An epidemiologic cohort study design, nested in several databases of electronic medical information, will be employed for the research questions. Following the availability of pazopanib in the relevant medical care system, the study will collect retrospective data at regular intervals over the course of four years among persons exposed to pazopanib and other anti-VEGF agents. Each patient will be characterized based on additional available information in the database (e.g., demographics, concomitant medications). Elevations in liver enzymes will be identified through laboratory data captured in these databases. Potential Hy's Law and acute liver failure cases will be identified through established screening criteria, and screen-positive cases will be reviewed by an adjudication committee of hepatologists for final determination of drug-associated causality.

This study is an early access program of 'Nexavar post-marketing surveillance (PMS) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Japan' which is a regulatory, local prospective and observational study for patients with unresectable or advanced RCC under real-life practice conditions. The objective of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of Nexavar at some limited sites which joined to clinical trial of Nexavar, before available of it in the market. The enrollment period is 2 months, and patients who received Nexavar will be recruited and followed one year since starting Nexavar administration. The data of this study will be integrated into the Nexavar PMS and the data will not be analyzed and reported alone.
