Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Renal Cell"

RATIONALE: Everolimus and vatalanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving everolimus together with vatalanib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus and vatalanib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

To investigate safety and efficacy of single agent sunitinib malate as first-line systemic therapy in Chinese patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving vorinostat and sorafenib tosylate together in treating patients with kidney or non-small cell lung cancer. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving vorinostat together with sorafenib tosylate may kill more tumor cells.

The purpose study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sorafenib as first line treatment for patients - unsuitable for another approved first line therapy - with advanced RCC in the Middle East Region.

RATIONALE: Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well interferon alfa works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

In this phase II trial, we plan to evaluate the combination of Tarceva and Avastin in the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This trial will be one of the first phase II trials to evaluate a combination of targeted agents in the treatment of a common solid tumor with a strong biologic rationale based on Cancer Biology (VHL/HIF/VEGF/EGFr).

RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with kidney cancer.

The study compare the standard treatment with nephrectomy + sunitinib to treatment with sunitinib alone without nephrectomy. This study will be the first trial on this competitive context

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dalteparin when given together with sunitinib malate in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, help prevent blood clots and have been shown to increase survival in patients with cancer. Anticoagulants may also prevent the formation of new blood vessels. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by inhibiting new blood vessels and blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving dalteparin together with sunitinib malate may starve tumors and kill more tumor cells.

Compare safety and efficacy of BIBF 1120 versus sunitinib in patients with advanced RCC and to investigate the effects of BIBF 1120 on the heart rate (HR) corrected QT interval (QTcF).
