Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

To determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and efficacy of ImmuniCell® in patients with melanoma, renal cell cancer (RCC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is an adaptive design that has 3 stages: Stage 1 - dose escalation, Stage 2 - efficacy, and Stage 3 - confirm efficacy in one of the tumor types.

This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of combining varlilumab and sunitinib. The study will enroll patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

The trial is open to patients who have metastatic renal cell carcinoma/urothelial (bladder) carcinoma with at least 2 measurable sites of disease. All eligible patients will be randomly assigned to immunotherapy(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy (nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) plus radiotherapy, 10 Gy x3 (conformally or by intensity modulation radiation therapy/Image-guided radiation therapy (IMRT/IGRT) to maximally spare normal tissue), to one of their measurable lesions.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies health care coach support in reducing acute care use and cost in patients with cancer. Health care coach support may help cancer patients to make decisions about their care that matches what is important to them with symptom management.

The purpose of this study is to estimate overall survival over a 5-year follow-up period among adult participants with advanced/metastatic kidney cancer, starting 1st line nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy or nivolumab monotherapy after prior therapy, in real-life conditions in Germany

This phase II trial studies how well real-time pharmacokinetic therapeutic drug monitoring works in preventing stomatitis from developing in patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or kidney cancer that are receiving a type of cancer drug called everolimus. Stomatitis is a common side effect of everolimus that causes inflammation of the mouth, with or without oral ulcers, and frequently leads to patients discontinuing the medication. Monitoring the blood levels of everolimus and making adjustments in a patient's dose may be able to decrease the incidence of stomatitis, while maintaining the effectiveness of everolimus to treat the cancer.

The purpose of Part 1 of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of dalantercept in combination with axitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to determine the recommended dose level of dalantercept in combination with axitinib for Part 2. The purpose of Part 2 of this study is to determine whether treatment with dalantercept in combination with axitinib prolongs progression free survival (PFS) compared to axitinib alone in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

This Phase 2a study will investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ASONEP™ (sonepcizumab/LT1009) when administered intravenously once a week, every 4 weeks (or cycle), to subjects with refractory renal cell carcinoma (RCC) until the disease progresses. Subjects who have failed 3 prior treatments for RCC including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and/or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors or who have tumors that cannot be surgically removed will be eligible for screening.

Partial nephrectomy (kidney removal) is a standard therapy for clinical T1 renal (kidney) tumors. The goals of surgery are to accurately remove the tumor with no cancer cells at the edge of the remaining tissue, to limit blood loss, and preserve kidney function. The most common technique is to clamp the blood supply to the entire kidney during removal and to surgically repair the tumor bed with suture and agents to stop bleeding. This stops the blood supply to the entire kidney including the healthy tissue, which can cause damage to the remaining tissue due to a shortage of oxygen if left clamped too long. This study uses a microwave pre-coagulation technique using the Certus 140™ to facilitate a bloodless area near the tumor for accurate tumor removal and repair, while avoiding clamping the blood supply, but its effect on the function of kidney adjacent to tumor is unknown. If adequate stoppage of bleeding is achieved using the Certus 140™ with minimal heat spreading to the remaining tissue, clamping and a shortage of oxygen can be avoided. The hypothesis is that microwave pre-coagulation is a safe method for providing the stoppage of bleeding during partial kidney removal.

Retrospective studies showed Sorafenib's efficacy as second line treatment after a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI). Currently there is no standard of treatment in 2nd line for patients treated in first line with pazopanib for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC). With this trial we evaluate the efficacy of sorafenib as second line of treatment in patients treated with pazopanib for mRCC.
