Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

This study evaluates novel surgical approach in treating small renal masses. Half of participants will undergo hypotonic zero-ischaemia partial nephrectomy (standard of care), while the other half will undergo normotonic zero-ischaemia partial nephrectomy (experimental method).

This is an open-label, multicenter dose-escalation phase I study using a 3+3+3 design (i.e., 3 to 9 patients per dose level) in patients with mRCC or others advanced refractory solid tumors. Enrolment will be performed to include approximately ½ of patients with mRCC. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of limiting toxicities leading to definitive discontinuation of the study drugs during the first 24 weeks in absence of progression of the disease. Secondary endpoints included the occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) evaluated during the first two cycles; overall response rate, 6-months progression-free survival rate and Pharmacokinetic assessments.

The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of LY573636-sodium to be given in combination with sunitinib to patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and to determine any side effects that may be associated with LY573636-sodium and sunitinib combination in this patient population. The tumor response rate will also be assessed.

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter study. Subjects will be stratified by histology (clear cell versus non-clear cell). Enrollment of non-clear cell subjects will be limited to ≤ 30% of the entire study population.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of RO4929097 in renal cell carcinoma patients that have failed therapy with VEGF/VEGFR directed agents.

Capecitabine is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers. The role of capecitabine in treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma is discussed. In this trial, we are evaluating efficacy of capecitabine in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients.

This is an open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety of RAD001 in Chinese patients with metastatic renal cell cancer who are intolerant of or have progressed despite treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapies. All patients will be treated with RAD001 10 mg daily until tumor progression (determined according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria), unacceptable toxicity, death or discontinuation from the study for any other reason. At least 60 patients will be enrolled in the study. Screening and baseline evaluations will be performed within 28 days of the date when the patient signs the informed consent form. Baseline evaluations will be performed within two weeks of the first dose of RAD001. Screening and baseline evaluations will be performed to determine if patient meets all inclusion and exclusion criteria. All eligible patients should be enrolled in the study and will receive the first dose of RAD001 (10 mg daily) on Day 1, Cycle 1. Subsequently, patients will be asked to come to the clinic every month to complete the protocol-specified evaluations. A treatment Cycle consists of 28 days. After discontinuation of treatment with RAD001, patients will have a safety follow-up performed 28 days after the last dose of RAD001. Patients must continue with survival assessments which will be performed every 3 months from the last dose of RAD001 until up to 2 years after the last patient's first visit date. An interim analysis focusing on safety data and a final analysis of all data are planned. All patients still receiving the study drug at the time of the final analysis will be given the option to continue treatment with RAD001 until the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pazopanib hydrochloride before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pazopanib hydrochloride works when given before surgery in treating patients with kidney cancer.

A study of PF-05082566, a 4-1BB agonist monoclonal antibody (mAb), in patients with solid tumors or b-cell lymphomas, and in combination with rituximab in patients with CD20 positive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).
