Active clinical trials for "Urologic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-300 in cancers with FGFR3 activating gene alterations, including locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and urinary tract and other advanced solid tumors.

Despite knowledge about the effect of preventive measures in lifestyle, smoking,nutrition, alcohol and physical activity (SNAP), there is a lack of systematic assessment of the overall lifestyle of the patient before surgery and knowledge about how lifestyle interventions can be organized in connection with cancer surgery. The intention with prehabilitation is to optimize the individual's risk factors and personal burdens that can affect the clinical and patient reported outcomes after surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intensive SNAP interventions compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in ptt undergoing urological cancer surgery on surgical risk reduction.

Some tumors are difficult to treat with chemotherapy or radiation. One of the reasons is that areas of the tumor do not have many blood vessels, which makes it difficult for drugs to reach those areas. One way that researchers have recently tried to overcome this problem is by injecting special kinds of bacteria into the tumors. These bacteria have been genetically changed to remove the chemicals that are poisonous to humans, but are still able to cause tumor cells to break down and die. The idea is that these bacteria may be able to assist chemotherapy drugs in fighting cancer. The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of one of these bacterial therapies (Clostridium novyi-NT spores) that can be given in combination with pembrolizumab to patients with advanced solid tumors. The safety of this drug will also be studied, as well as whether it can help to control the disease. This is an investigational study. Clostridium novyi-NT is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Pembrolizumab is FDA approved for the treatment of melanoma and different types of head and neck and non-small cell lung cancers. It is investigational to use these drugs in combination with each other in various types of advanced cancers. The study doctor can describe how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 18 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

The goal of the Lead-in phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT2152 in combination with palbociclib (Doublet) and with palbociclib and sasanlimab (Triplet) in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who received prior therapy. The goal of the Expansion phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK at the selected RDE and identify the RP2D for NKT2152 in combination with palbociclib (Doublet) and with palbociclib and sasanlimab (Triplet) in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who received prior therapy.

In recent years, the world of anesthesiology is questioning one of its great dogmas: Are so many hours of strict fasting necessary in patients who are candidates for elective surgeries? The main objective of our clinical trial will be demonstrate whether preoperative oral loading with hydrocarbonate beverages reduces the time of return of intestinal function in the postoperative period compared to water administration and strict fasting in patients undergoing elective radical cystectomy.

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic tumor PALB2 (tPALB2) mutation.

This trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells (donor natural killer [NK] cells) and how well they work when given together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in treating children and young adults with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). NK cells, white blood cells important to the immune system, are donated/collected from cord blood collected at birth from healthy babies and grown in the lab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving NK cells together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide may work better in treating children and young adults with solid tumors.

Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant. The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of gemcitabine that can be given by inhalation (breathing it as a mist) to patients with solid tumors that have spread to the lungs from other parts of the body. The safety and side effects of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Gemcitabine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of pancreatic and lung cancer, and other solid tumors. Its administration by inhalation is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 44 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

This is a single-arm, open-label, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of Anti-CD70 CAR-T cell injection in patients with CD70-positive Advanced Urologic Neoplasms.
