Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

Multi-center prospective cohort study examining curative intent renal cryotherapy and radiofrequency ablation for small renal mass treatment in patients who are poor candidates for surgical resection, We will capture clinical, radiological, and pathological data as well as resource utilization (ex: time in hospital, ER visits), complications, and long-term functional and oncological outcomes. The investigators will also be biobanking blood and urine samples from participants for biological studies in the lab.

This phase II trial investigates how well MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with early-stage kidney cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. This method of radiation delivery is further refined through the incorporation of a MRI into the radiation machine to create a device known as a MRI linear accelerator. During treatment with MRI linear accelerator, continuous MRI images are obtained to allow for real-time treatment monitoring and the ability to adjust treatment plans if minor deviations in anatomy are noted. Giving MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy may help treat patients with early-stage kidney cancer.

This is a phase II trial that follows the completion of the phase I UCSF trial of everolimus and sorafenib for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). This trial will be for patients who have not had treatment for RCC before. This trial will have 2/3 patients getting everolimus/sorafenib treatment and 1/3 getting sunitinib, an FDA approved RCC drug. All three drugs are approved for advanced RCC when used individually, the combination of everolimus and sorafenib for RCC is not approved by the FDA.

The purpose of this study is to assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool to track tumor growth for renal cell carcinoma while the participant is receiving clinical treatment therapy with sunitinib or pazopanib. An MRI is a sophisticated type of scan that uses powerful magnets to make clearer images or to focus on detailed medical information in the participants abdomen and pelvis. This imaging done for this study will use the ASL MRI technique that allows us to see blood flow changes which possibly may indicated tumor growth.

The purpose of this research study is to further define an effective strategy for people with renal cell carcinoma and to learn the safety and effectiveness of two different types of sunitinib-refractory treatments: Bevacizumab alone or a combination of sunitinib and bevacizumab. Sunitinib is an FDA approved drug and is currently one of the standard treatments for advanced renal cell carcinoma. However, some people who receive this treatment do not respond to treatment or they stop responding to treatment. Bevacizumab is an FDA approved drug used for the treatment of several cancers however, is not yet approved for use in renal cell carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether rhuMAb VEGF (Bevacizumab) is safe and effective for the treatment of renal cell cancer when other treatments have failed.

RATIONALE: BAY 56-3722 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BAY 56-3722 in treating patients who have recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic kidney cancer.

Study MO39939 is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial in patients with unresectable, locally-advanced or metastatic, clear or non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who have not received prior systemic therapy (who are treatment naïve in either the [neo]adjuvant or advanced/metastatic setting for clear and non-clear cell RCC). The study consists of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period, an End of Treatment Visit occurring approximately 30 days after the last dose of study medication, and a Follow-Up Period of 4 years after last patient enrolled.

This is an open label, randomized phase II trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio and stratified for known prognostics variables to one of two first-line medication treatment arms. Once disease progression has been documented, and following a required inter-line washout period, subjects will receive either second-line medication treatment or discontinue treatment, per discretion of treating investigator.

The purpose of this study is to see if continued nivolumab with the addition of ipilimumab plus hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiation (sTR) of a single lesions results in partial or complete responses in patients with metastatic ccRCC who fail initial treatment with single agent nivolumab.
