Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

A medical review chart study in Japan to describe the treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with kidney cancer that is unable to be removed by surgery or that has spread. The clinical data is to be abstracted using electronic data capture (eDC) from patient medical records in Japan.

This is a multicenter retrospective study designed to compare overall survival (OS) by PD-L1 expression status in patients with RCC who have received systemic chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic RCC, to determine whether the prognosis is worse in PD-L1-positive than in PD-L1-negative RCC. Total 600 RCC surgical specimens will be collected from patients who started systemic chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic RCC between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015 at about 30 participating study sites in Japan. PD-L1 expression status (IC; immune cell) on tumor-infiltrating immune cells will be evaluated by IHC, and classified by score: IC0 (PD-L1-negative) and IC1, IC2, IC3 (PD-L1-positive). Unless otherwise specified, between-group comparisons will be performed between IC0 and IC1/2/3.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of using ambient air to protect against thermal injury during RadioFrequency Ablation (RFA) for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) based on data from cases at their institute.

Patients' outcome was studied after surgery for renal cell carcinoma. The primary outcome was overall survival and desease free survival. Secondary outcame was complications to surgery.

The clinical outcome of advanced / metastatic renal cell carcinoma has been changed since targeted therapy being widely applied. This study will retrospectively analyse the clinical outcome of advanced renal cell carcinoma captured in Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database.

Everolimus shows a large interpatient variability with fixed dose administration. These very different exposure levels between individuals can result in supratherapeutic or subtherapeutic exposure levels and consequently in over- or undertreatment, respectively. Dose individualization based on the measured drug concentration could theoretically result in less toxicity and more efficacy. Nowadays everolimus exposure is determined by everolimus concentration in whole blood. Therefore, a vena puncture is always necessary. This is invasive and requires patients to come to the hospital. It would be convenient for patients to have their everolimus blood concentration determined by dried blood spot (DBS) analysis. With DBS only a single drop of blood from the finger is necessary, which can be done at home and sent by regular mail for analysis. Previous studies have shown the feasibility of this approach. In patients with cancer treated with everolimus 10mg once daily, the correlation between everolimus DBS concentrations and whole blood concentration is yet unknown. Therefore, the investigators want to determine the everolimus concentration collected with DBS from a finger prick with everolimus concentration from whole blood and everolimus concentration collected with DBS from whole blood. In addition, possibly a relatively high everolimus concentration in saliva could be correlated with the incidence and severity of oral mucositis. Determination of drug concentration in saliva has also been proven to be feasible before. Therefore, in this study the investigators want to determine whether the everolimus concentration in saliva correlates with the incidence of oral mucositis and how everolimus concentration in saliva correlates with everolimus concentration in whole blood.

The objective of this study is to monitor the usage of INLYTA® in real practice within label, including the adverse events associated with INLYTA®.

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is the most common malignant tumour of the kidneys. Targeted therapies, which were recently introduced in the treatment of mRCC, have become the standard treatment in these patients. With improved survival rate and a tolerable side effect profile, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) have largely replaced conventional immunotherapies worldwide. In Turkey, due to reimbursement conditions, cytokine (interferon alpha) treatment is the standard treatment as first-line therapy. Therefore, the data on quality of life (QoL) from the pivotal studies with standard TKI treatment does not reflect the QoL status of patients treated with TKIs as second or third line treatment in Turkey. In this study, the clinical outcomes and the impact on quality of life of targeted treatments following TKIs will be explored. To our knowledge, since there is no similar reimbursement condition in the world placing IFN as the first line standard treatment, this will be the first study evaluating the QoL status with targeted therapies used as 3rd line treatment in mRCC patients.

The purpose of this retrospective observational study was to analyze the effect of targeted therapies administered as second-line treatment after failure of pazopanib as well as increase the amount of information available on efficacy and safety of pazopanib as a first-line therapy in practice usual for the clinical treatment of metastatic Renal Carcinoma.

This is an observational study which will investigate the use of Nexavar as first targeted therapy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
