Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

BKM-120 is a drug that may slow the growth of cancer cells. This drug has been used in laboratory experiments and information from those research studies suggests that this drug may help to slow the growth of renal cancer cells. In this research study, the investigators are testing the safety to BKM-120 at different dose levels. The investigators will also be studying how well tolerated BKM-120 is, and how effective BKM-120 can be in the treatment of kidney cancer.

This is a clinical research study of an investigational (FDA IND-BB 10091) treatment of subjects with castration-resistant prostate cancer resistant to Taxanes (docetaxel, cabazitaxel) and evidence of disease progression on androgen-axis inhibition and/or immunotherapy in the form of sipuleucel-T. The treatment is being evaluated for its effect on tumor growth. It consists of the placement (implantation) of small beads that contain mouse renal adenocarcinoma cells (RENCA macrobeads). The cells in the macrobeads produce substances that have been shown to slow or stop the growth of tumors in experimental animals and veterinary patients. It has been tested in 31 human subjects with different types of cancers in a Phase I safety trial. Phase II studies in patients with colorectal, pancreatic or prostate cancers are in progress.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dovitinib versus sorafenib in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sunitinib malate when given together with bevacizumab in treating patients with kidney cancer or advanced solid malignancies. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving sunitinib malate together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

The purpose is to determine the safety, effectiveness and best dose to use when giving Nivolumab in combination with Sunitinib, Pazopanib, or Ipilimumab for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

It is well known that substantial interindividual variability of CYP3A4/1A2-phenotype activity is an important contributor to individual differences in the sensitivity to the frequently used tyrosine kinase inhibitors sunitinib and erlotinib. This study tests the potential for CYP-phenotyping to predict individual pharmacology and derive dosing algorithms for more tailored treatment of these drugs.

This study is being conducted to provide a direct comparison of the efficacy, safety and tolerability for pazopanib and sunitinib (SUTENT)

Open-label, multi-center extension treatment protocol to allow access to tivozanib and sorafenib for subjects who have participated on the AV-951-09-301 protocol. Eligible subjects who were randomized to receive sorafenib on AV-951-09-301 and had documented progression of disease will receive a tivozanib dose of 1.5 mg/day. Eligible subjects who were randomized to tivozanib or sorafenib in AV-951-09-301, and displayed clinical benefit and acceptable tolerability to treatment, will continue to receive tivozanib or sorafenib at the same dose and schedule as in AV-951-09-301.

To compare the anti-tumor activity of everolimus and sunitinib in subjects with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with non-clear cell pathology.

RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib malate it works in treating patients with previously untreated metastatic kidney cancer.
