Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are largely prescribed in a growing number of cancer diseases and at earlier stages (non metastatic cancer). Among immune-related adverse events, (iRAEs), the incidence of major cardiovascular events due to atherosclerosis reaches 13% at one year in patients at high risk. To the best of our knowledge, the mechanisms of this acceleration of atherosclerosis have not been studied to this date. The VICKI study aims at furthering our knowledge on the mechanisms of atherosclerotic plaque instability by means of a prospective single-centre pilot study, by comparing: surrogate markers of clinical vasculo-toxicity with arterial Doppler (flow mediated reserve) as defined by the International Cardio-Oncology Society; circulating biomarkers Before and after receiving ICIs for solid cancer treatment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how collecting information about treatment-related side effects directly from patients can help manage the side effects associated with certain oral chemotherapies. This study is specifically investigating this approach in patients taking oral vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Participants in this study will receive a survey via email or telephone once a week while receiving treatment with a VEGFR TKI. The survey will ask about symptoms such as nausea or fatigue and overall quality of life. This survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. The survey will be sent directly to the oncology care team. Participants will receive a follow-up phone call or message from the team when participants have new or worsening symptoms. The participants will continue to receive surveys for as long as they are receiving a VEGF TKI treatment.

This clinical trial evaluates light therapy and occupational therapy in improving cancer related fatigue (CRF) patients with genitourinary cancers. Light therapy is a non-pharmacological and evidence-based intervention for managing fatigue in cancer patients. The use of light therapy can provide a low burden, inexpensive, and easy to disseminate intervention approach that can potentially have a larger impact on CRF. In addition, occupational therapy is a standard, but often underutilized, component of the multi-disciplinary approach to cancer care. Using the combination of light therapy and occupational therapy may be effective in CRF management.

Study E7080-G000-218 is a Randomized, open-label (formerly Double-blind), Phase 2 Trial conducted to assess whether a starting dose of lenvatinib 14 milligrams (mg) in combination with everolimus 5 mg once daily (QD) will provide comparable efficacy (based on objective response rate [ORR] at 24 weeks [ORR24W]) with an improved safety profile compared to lenvatinib 18 mg in combination with everolimus 5 mg (based on treatment-emergent intolerable Grade 2, or any greater than or equal to (>=) Grade 3 adverse events (AEs) in the first 24 weeks after randomization).

This is a phase I/II open-label study designed to evaluate the combination of pembrolizumab and cabozantinib in subjects with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Sequential dose escalation of cabozantinib with standard dose pembrolizumab will occur in the phase I dose escalation part of the study to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Subsequently, subjects will receive cabozantinib at the RP2D in combination with pembrolizumab in the phase II dose expansion part of the study.

Invariant Natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique subset of lymphocytes that express homogeneous TCR recognizing KRN7000 which was up-regulated by many kinds of cancer cells. PD-1+CD8+T cells of patients with advanced tumor are most likely tumor-specified. Our hypothesis is that immunotherapy strategy of infusion of iNKT cells and PD-1+CD8+T cells may decrease the tumor burden and improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment of patients with advanced solid tumor by infusing of iNKT cells and PD-1+CD8+T cells.

This is a single arm, multi-centre (via Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium) phase Ib/II study of patients treated with durvalumab 1500 mg IV q 4 weeks in combination with guadecitabine at the recommended phase 2 dose subcutaneously for 5 consecutive days. Eligible patients will have metastatic RCC with a clear cell component, ECOG performance status of 0-1, have received 0-1 prior therapy but no prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA4 (Cohort 1, 36 subjects). Study treatment could potentially continue for up to 13 cycles (52 weeks).

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab and ipilimumab work in treating patients with kidney cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This Single-arm, multicentre, phase 2 trial aims determine the activity and safety of pembrolizumab and denosumab in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors that target PD-1 and CTLA-4 have shown activity in mRCC. However, the optimal schedule of the combination therapy has yet to be defined. The objective of the trial is to determine the efficacy of combination immunotherapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The expansion phase shall address the role of ipilimumab in case of clinically insignificant progression.
