Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

The study is designed to demonstrate that axitinib (AG-013736) is superior to sorafenib in delaying tumor progression in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer after failure of one first line regimen.

The primary objectives of this Phase 1b/2 study were as follows: Phase 1b (Bolus and Infusion): To evaluate the safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors and in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma and in patients with refractory lymphoma. Phase 2 (Bolus): To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) after 4 cycles of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Radiofrequency ablation in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with primary tumor less than 5 cm before medical treatment. Ablation may allow for reduced morbidity and may increase the likelihood of patients receiving systemic therapy.

Determine time-to-progression (TTP) for an escalating dose schedule for subjects with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with sorafenib

Patients with metastatic renal cell cancer will be enrolled to receive RAD001 to determine whether the use of RAD001 will result in an improvement in the time to tumor progression.

RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with brain metastases caused by kidney cancer or melanoma.

This is a study using sunitinib for patients ending treatment on a previous sunitinib malate protocol to continue to receive sunitinib. The patient must have been enrolled in one of the following studies: A6181030, A6181064, A6181078, A6181087, A6181094, A6181107, A6181108, A6181110, A6181111, A6181112, A6181113, A6181120, A6181126 and A6181170. Other Pfizer sponsored sunitinib studies may be included in the future.

Cediranib is being tested to assess its effectiveness on the growth of kidney cancer tumours and also how well it is tolerated.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of bevacizumab and sunitinib given in combination for kidney cancer. The drugs act to stop blood vessel growth but in different ways. They have not been studied together in a previous study. We also want to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of bevacizumab and sunitinib have on you and your tumor.

This study is designed to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ABT 869 in the treatment of subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have previously received treatment with sunitinib.
