Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

The purpose of this study is to find out if renal cell (kidney) cancer that has spread to other parts of the body will respond to treatment with motexafin gadolinium (MGd).

A prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to assess whether digital virtual reality (VR) models, created from existing CT scans and MRIs, provide surgeons with an improved understanding of their patients' anatomy, resulting in more efficient operations (robotic partial nephrectomy) and improved patient care.

The purpose of this study is to determine maximum tumor shrinkage, time to progression, survival, drug concentration, and degree of skin toxicity.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the combination of gemcitabine and doxil will have clinical activity in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

To assess the pattern of ColoAd1 viral delivery and viral expression within colon tumour tissue when administered by intra-tumoural injection or within colon, non-small cell lung, bladder and renal cell tumour tissues following ColoAd1 administration by intravenous infusion.

Evaluation of unfavourable outcome-related factors in patients affected by renal cell cancer in treatment with everolimus and previously treated with a Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor (i.e. sunitinib, sorafenib,pazopanib, or bevacizumab+interferon)

Aim 1. Determine the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed mobile technology intervention to increase physical activity patients receiving treatment for renal cell carcinoma. Aim 2. Evaluate the effect of the proposed intervention components (affective framing, intention planning, and goal-setting) on changes in physical activity.

The purpose of this research study is to determine how sunitinib (sunitinib malate) causes fatigue. Patients will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire (survey) to rate their levels of fatigue every two weeks while they are participating in this research study. The questionnaire takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and is 9 questions. A series of physical measurements for fatigue will be performed before the first dose of sunitinib and again (4) weeks later to see if there are any changes in physical level of fatigues

The purpose of this study is to assess whether certain metabonomics and/or lipidomics features in correlation with pharmacokinetics before, during and after treatment with sunitinib or pazopanib in first line can predict toxicity and efficacy of sunitinib or pazopanib in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients.

Several technological challenges exist to apply Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MRgHIFU) for treatment of liver or kidney in particular challenges related to the motion of these organs. This study tests a new software to improve thermometry accuracy in mobile organs in patients with liver or kidney tumors. In the same time, the trajectory of the target in 3D is analyzed.
