Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

This research trial studies the development of a blood test for detecting anti-insulin-like growth factor II mRNA binding protein 3 (anti-IMP3) antibody and micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or is limited to the tissue or organ where it began (localized). Anti-IMP3 is a tumor marker that can be detected in many human cancers, including RCC and is likely to be present in the serum (blood) of patients with metastatic or localized RCC. Alterations in microRNA expression has also shown to play a critical role in cancer progression and may be a promising biomarker for patients with RCC. Developing a blood test for anti-IMP3 antibody and microRNA in serum and tissue samples of patients in the laboratory may help doctors find and diagnose RCC earlier, find out how far the disease has spread, and plan effective treatment for RCC.

RATIONALE: Comparing results of MRI scans done after bevacizumab may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab alone is more effective than giving bevacizumab together with interferon alpha-2a in detecting kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying MRI scans of blood vessel changes caused by bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with bevacizumab given together with interferon alpha-2a in treating patients with stage III or stage IV kidney cancer.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effectiveness of the first and later lines of medicines on clinical outcomes in people with mRCC. The study includes participants who: are 18 years old or above and have mRCC took medicines that use the bodies immunity to fight against cancer as their first choice of treatment took other medicines after taking the above first choice of treatment This is a study that looks into the data collected through a particular database from selected academic clinical sites participating in this study. The data of interest include: the length of time between the start of a patient's treatment and the end of treatment the length of time between the start of treatment and death physician assessment of a patient's response to treatment We will compare the experiences of people receiving different combinations of treatments and see if there are any differences in the effectiveness of these medicines.

Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 2-3% of all cancers in western countries. Brazilian kidney cancer data show an incidence of 6,270 new cases for 2018. New target-molecular therapies have emerged in recent years for the treatment of metastatic kidney cancer. Due to the heterogeneity of these patients and the lack of specific markers, therapeutic is currently based on clinical and laboratory analysis. The research for predictive biomarkers may better characterize the kidney cancer therapeutic management. The objectives are to identify a predictive gene expression profile in patients with advanced clear cell renal carcinoma treated with first-line sunitinib and correlate it with rate response, seeking to identify a predictive gene expression profile. As secondary objectives, the investigators will compare the gene expression profile found, with global survival and clinical-pathological characteristics. Materials and methods: To determine through systematic data collection the epidemiological profile, clinical-pathological characteristics, response rate, disease free survival and overall survival of 60 patients with metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma who used sunitinib in the first line between 2009 and 2018 at the Barretos Cancer Hospital. For evaluation of gene expression profile, the investigators will use a panel of a panel with 770 genes related to disease progression using nanostring technology. Keywords: Renal Cell Carcinoma; Sunitinib; Biomarkers; Gene expression; Nanostring.

The purpose of this observational study is to collect contemporary real-world treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, humanistic burden (including patient-reported disease-specific Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL), and treatment- related adverse events (AEs) or adverse reactions (ARs) among Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (aRCC) patients initiating first-line systemic therapy.

The present study will aim to describe and understand, in the real-world, the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes of advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) patients treated with cabozantinib or axitinib monotherapy in England using the existing data source, Cancer Analysis System (CAS).

The purpose of the study is to find out how patients with advanced kidney cancer have been treated in the hospital district of Southwest Finland over time.

RCC (Renal Cell Carcinoma) is the most common form of kidney cancer, accounting for 2-3% of all adult malignancies and for 90% of all kidney cancers. The incidence of RCC has steadily increased over the past two decades, showing a plateau in recent years. Many patients with RCC remain asymptomatic until late disease stages and other patients have disease at diagnosis (metastatic RCC or mRCC). Recently, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) cabozantinib was approved as a first-line therapy for patients with advanced clear-cell RCC (ccRCC). Cabozantinib was initially approved for patients previously treated with antiangiogenic therapy based on the phase 3 METEOR study, which demonstrated a clinical benefit compared with everolimus. Immunotherapy has been also developed in ccRCC. The frontline treatment paradigm for ccRCC has evolved, particularly for intermediate-/poor-risk patients, with the recent addition of cabozantinib and nivolumab/ipilimumab (immunotherapy), but overall survival data are needed to understand their benefit-to-risk profiles compared with established therapies. In October 2016, the Spanish Agency of medicines (AEMPS) granted the temporary Authorization for special use to Cabometyx® 20/40/60 mg within a Managed Access Program (MAP) for the treatment of advanced RCC in adults following prior VEGF-targeted therapy (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor targeted therapy). The MAP allows the possibility of using a medicinal product which is not yet commercially available or approved. By the end of the MAP period, on July 2017, 136 patients had been included by 61 centers who received at least one dose of Cabometyx® for the treatment of advanced RCC. Since then, Cabometyx® 20/40/60 mg was made commercially available for the treatment of advanced RCC in adults following prior VEGF-targeted therapy. After the commercialization of Cabometyx® in July 2017 in Spain, the inclusion of new patients in the MAP was closed but those patients that were already included continued receiving Cabometyx® free of charge until clinical decision. In July 2018, the European Commission approved a new indication for adult patients previously untreated with intermediate or poor risk. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to obtain safety and effectiveness information regarding the use of cabozantinib in a non-selected RCC population, both in patients that received this agent under the MAP or under routine clinical prescription (real-world [RW]).

This study is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective, medical chart review of patients with metastatic renal cell cancer(mRCC) treated with avelumab plus axitinib as a first-line therapy in Japan between 20 December 2019 and 20 December 2020. All decisions regarding clinical management and treatment of the participating patients were made by the investigator as part of standard care in real-world clinical setting and were not contingent upon the patient's participation in the study. Data will be collected if available per study site.

This study will collect real-world data for the new treatment pathways for all patients with Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (ARCC) who were treated with a 1L IO (first-line, Immuno-Oncology checkpoint inhibitor) combination therapy and progressed to a 2L treatment with particular focus to understanding where cabozantinib is prescribed after 1L IO containing combination therapy.
