Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

This phase III trial compares nephrectomy (surgery to remove a kidney or part of a kidney) with nivolumab to the usual approach of nephrectomy followed by standard post-operative follow-up and monitoring, in treating patients with kidney cancer that is limited to a certain part of the body (localized). Nivolumab is a drug that may help stimulate the immune system to attack any cancer cells that may remain after surgery. The addition of nivolumab to the usual surgery could prevent the cancer from returning. It is not yet known whether nivolumab and nephrectomy is more effective than nephrectomy alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

This is a Phase IIb, multicohort, open-label multicenter study of combination immunotherapies in patients who have previously received treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors. All patients in Cohorts 1-4 will receive the combination treatment of PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor plus N-803 for up to 17 cycles. Each cycle is six weeks in duration. Some patients who experience disease progression while on study in Cohorts 1-4 may roll over into Cohort 5 and receive combination therapy with a PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK cellular therapy for up to an additional 17 cycles. Each cycle is six weeks in duration. All patients will receive N-803 once every 3 weeks. Patients will also receive the same checkpoint inhibitor that they received during their previous therapy. Radiologic evaluation will occur at the end of each treatment cycle. Treatment will continue for up to 2 years, or until the patient experiences confirmed progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdraws consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in the patient's best interest to continue treatment. Patients will be followed for disease progression, post-therapies, and survival through 24 months past administration of the first dose of study drug.

This is a Phase II, open-label, safety, pharmacodynamic and efficacy study of entinostat in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in subjects with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who have progressed on ipilimumab + nivolumab regimen. Prior to Phase II, a safety lead-in will be conducted to establish the RP2D of entinostat when used in combination with ipilimumab + nivolumab. Subjects will initially be treated with the combination of oral entinostat and intravenous (IV) nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Entinostat will be dosed weekly, and nivolumab and ipilimumab will be dosed every 3 weeks, for a total of four, 3-week cycles. Following these first four cycles, entinostat will continue to be administered weekly in combination with nivolumab every 2 weeks (ipilimumab will be discontinued), with treatment continued until disease progression or prohibitive toxicity. Anti-tumor activity will be assessed by radiological tumor assessments conducted at baseline and every 6 weeks thereafter using RECIST version 1.1.

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib and sunitinib when given to patients with metastatic (has spread) variant histology renal cell carcinoma (vhRCC), a type of kidney cancer. This is an investigational study. Cabozantinib and sunitinib are both FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer, including vhRCC. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 84 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

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 "

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolmab alone or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab versus placebo, is safe and effective for delaying or preventing recurrence of cancer in participants who have experienced partial or entire removal of a kidney.

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor when given together with several different standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens in treating patients with malignancies that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Selinexor may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Studying selinexor with different standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens may help doctors learn the side effects and best dose of selinexor that can be given with different types of treatments in one study.

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.

This study is intended to provide access to tremelimumab for patients who have previously received tremelimumab in a clinical trial.

This randomized controlled phase II trial will investigate whether the addition of stereotactic body radiotherapy to checkpoint inhibitor treatment in patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma or head-and-neck carcinoma can improve progression-free survival as compared to checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy. The primary outcome is progression-free survival; secondary outcomes include overall survival, response according to iRecist and Recist v1.1 and toxicity.
