Active clinical trials for "Kidney Neoplasms"

The main purpose of this study is to test the safety of the dendritic cell/tumor fusion study vaccine in combination with a laboratory-made agent called Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF). Another purpose is to determine the type and severity of any side effects associated with this study vaccine. GM-CSF is similar to a substance in the body that stimulates the production of white blood cells. To create the study vaccine, cells will be removed from the participants tumor and fused with dendritic cells which are obtained from the participants blood. Dendritic cells are responsible for immune responses to "foreign" substances that enter the body. Animal studies have shown that these fused cells can stimulate powerful anti-tumor responses.

PART 1: The primary objective of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-3795, formerly called PT2385 and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MK-3795 in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). PART 2: The primary objective of this study is to identify the MTD of MK-3795 up to the RP2D, in combination with nivolumab, in patients with advanced ccRCC. PART 3: The primary objective of this study is to identify the MTD of MK-3795 up to the RP2D, in combination with cabozantinib tablets, in patients with advanced ccRCC.

This research study will assess what doses of Sacituzumab Govitecan and Enfortumab Vedotin can be safely combined in the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). The names of the study drugs in this investigational combination are: Enfortumab Vedotin Sacituzumab Govitecan

This study is being conducted to determine if a combination of AZD6244 given orally twice a day with standard doses of selected chemotherapies will be safe and tolerable for cancer patients with advanced solid tumors. The highest tolerated dose of AZD6244 in combination with selected chemotherapies will be evaluated. The study will also investigate how AZD6244 in combination with standard chemotherapies are absorbed, distributed and excreted by the body as well as the length of time that the drugs remain in the body. Initial and periodic assessments will establish patient response to the combination therapies

Aged fragile patients are not usually included in clinical trials and efficacy and tolerability of the different available treatments in this population are unknown. Conversely, ageing has been associated with a decrease in the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors due to a decline in the effectiveness of the immune system (immunosenescence). In the Checkmate 025 trial comparing nivolumab with everolimus, the Hazard Ratio (HR) in patients older than 75 years old favoured everolimus, 1.23 (0.66-2.31). Thus, TKis might be a better treatment option for this population. However, the absence of data and concerns about possible secondary effects associated, can preclude clinicians to treat aged fragile patients with cabozantinib. A pilot phase II trial would help to have data on safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in this aged fragile population. In METEOR trial around 60% of patients reduced the dose of cabozantinib because of toxicity and tolerance problems. It is suspected that the efficacy of cabozantinib in the population to be included in this trial (aged and fragile) will be similar to that observed in CABOSUN trial (disease control rate around 75%). However, there is no information available in this group of patients. On the other hand, in the >75 years old subgroup within the METEOR trial, 37% discontinued due to adverse events, 85% needed dose reductions and median average daily dose was 33,6 mg. For this reason, the cabozantinib initial dose chosen for patients to be included in this study is 40 mg/day.

The Reduction of Allogenic Blood Transfusion in Locally Advanced Kidney Cancer Trial (RESTRICT). The primary objective is to reduce the number of units of allogenic blood transfusion in locally advanced kidney cancer (≥ cT2). Secondary objectives include reduction in perioperative complications, assessment of recurrence free-survival and improving overall survival.

Patients who are candidates for first line treatment with Sunitinib 50mg 4/6 regimen in accordance with the Marketing Authorisation who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be offered participation in this study during the consultation as part of their usual care. The patients will be included before Sunitinib treatment is started. Thereafter, sunitinib is initiated 50 mg/day; regimen 4/6 (Marketing Authorisation Indication), 4 weeks "on " alternating with 2 weeks "off " As soon as a dose or schedule adjustment is required, regardless of cause, the patient will be randomised 1/1: Either into arm A and will receive 37.5mg of Sunitinib per day by the 4/6 regimen (in accordance with the Marketing Authorisation); 4 weeks "on " alternating with 2 weeks "off " Or into arm B and will receive 50mg of Sunitinib per day by the 2/3 regimen (investigational arm); 2 weeks "on " alternating with 1 week "off "

RATIONALE: Everolimus 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 III trial is studying everolimus to see how well it works in treating patients with kidney cancer who have undergone surgery.

The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of the novel compound, MRx0518 in patients with solid tumours at 30 days post-surgery. 20 participants will receive open label MRx0518 in a preliminary safety phase. After successful evaluation by the Independent Safety Monitoring Committee (IDMC), a further 100 participants will be recruited to receive MRx0518/Placebo.

Objectives: Primary: Safety and tolerability of therapy with daratumumab in a cohort of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a cohort of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Secondary: 1A. To assess the proportion of patients who achieve pathological CR with daratumumab in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. 1B. To assess the objective response rate (ORR) to daratumumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. 2. To assess the progression free survival for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma receiving Daratumumab.
