Active clinical trials for "Kidney Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of entinostat on heart rate and other electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of entinostat, as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters.

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, non-interventional, multicenter, post-marketing surveillance to assess the safety and effectiveness of Zirabev(Bevacizumab biosimilar) in domestic patients with non-small cell lung cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, advanced or metastatic kidney cancer, cervical cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or glioblastoma multiforme.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vandetanib 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. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride is more effective with or without vandetanib as first-line therapy in treating urinary tract cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying giving carboplatin together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and to see how well it works when given with or without vandetanib as first-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic urinary tract cancer.

The main objective is to evaluate the oncologic efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation of renal tumors smaller than 4 cm in patients with renal cancer that cannot be offered a partial nephrectomy. The oncologic outcome will be assessed by the presence or absence of residue or recurrence during a follow-up by MRI performed the first 12 months (M1, M3, M6, M12).

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of sunitinib and temsirolimus that can be given to patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

RATIONALE: Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well interferon alfa works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

In this phase II trial, we plan to evaluate the combination of Tarceva and Avastin in the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This trial will be one of the first phase II trials to evaluate a combination of targeted agents in the treatment of a common solid tumor with a strong biologic rationale based on Cancer Biology (VHL/HIF/VEGF/EGFr).

RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate 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 clinical trial is studying how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with kidney cancer.

RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of cancer 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 as first-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic papillary renal cell (kidney) cancer.

This is a single-arm phase II trial evaluating the combination of avastin and temsirolimus in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (RCC) including both histologically confirmed clear cell (cc) or non-clear cell (ncc) subtypes. Patients must have experienced disease progression or intolerable toxicity with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (e.g. sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib). Only 2 prior VEGF therapies are allowed. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate efficacy of the combination against an historical control. Temsirolimus has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Avastin has been approved by the FDA for other types of cancers but not renal cell carcinoma.
