260 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
T Cell Receptor-engineered T-cell therapy (TCR T-cell therapy) offers a potentially transformative approach to treating cancer, but is currently limited by the lack of known targets (Maus and June, 2016; Ping et al., 2018). Arguably the most clinically meaningful way to discover new targets and TCRs for TCR T-cell therapy is to study the tumorinfiltrating lymphocytes of patients that are actively responding to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. These T cells are clonally expanded as a result of checkpoint inhibition and are responsible for the patient's clinical response. The goal of this study is to acquire tumor and blood samples from up to 40 patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) malignancies who respond to ICI therapy. T cells will be isolated from these samples and the targets of their TCRs determined using TScan's genome-wide, high-throughput target ID technology. The expected outcome of this study is the discovery of a collection of new targets for TCR T-cell therapy, along with associated TCRs that will then be developed as novel therapies for patients with similar malignancies.
Preclinical and early-phase clinical data suggest that immune modulation represents a treatment strategy that is worthy of further investigation in relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer. One method by which tumor cells may evade immune surveillance is by activation of the programmed cell death (PD-1) pathway, mediated by expression of PD-1 on the surface of T lymphocytes, which conveys an inhibitory signal after binding to its ligand PD-L1 on the surface of tumor cells. Nivolumab and Ipilimumab have shown activity as monotherapies in solid tumors and very early data suggest that nivolumab may be particularly active for ovarian clear cell carcinoma.(Hamanishi et al., 2015). Given the uniformly poor prognosis for patients with clear cell carcinoma in general, we are interested in formally evaluating this agent in all extra-renal clear cell carcinomas.
The drug ABR-217620 is a combination of two proteins, one that recognizes tumor cells and one that triggers an attack on the tumor cells by activating some white blood cells belonging to the body's normal immune system. In animals, this results in an accumulation of white blood cells in the cancer that can fight the cancer. This study will test how much of the drug can be given to patients with non-small cell lung cancer, renal clear cell carcinoma, or pancreatic cancer without causing unacceptable side effects.
This is a study of CDX-1127, a therapy that targets the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects. The study enrolls patients with hematologic cancers (certain leukemias and lymphomas), as well as patients with select types of solid tumors.

The goal of this research study is to establish the safety and then to explore the effectiveness of infusing the combination of cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell in the blood that is collected and bathed in special proteins to help identify and treat curtained advanced cancers, combined with low dose IL-2, which is a cytokine that activates immune cells, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Names of the study therapies involved in this study are/is: * CIML NK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy) * IL-2 (a type of cytokine)
Background: -Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a kind of kidney cancer. The drug avelumab may help direct the immune response to the tumors and can prolong the immune response. The drug Interleukin-15 (IL-15) stimulates certain kinds of white blood cells that have the potential to attack the cancer. Objective: -To test whether IL-15 and avelumab administered together are safe and effective at treating ccRCC. Eligibility: -People ages 18 and older with relapsed, metastatic biopsy proven clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) that has not responded to standard treatments Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood, urine, heart, and lung tests * Computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans and possible MRI: Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. For the CT scan, they may receive an oral contrast agent by mouth and normally receive IV contrast through a vein to improve the x-ray images. * Tumor sample to confirm expression of avelumab target: If one is not available, participants will require a new biopsy that is generally obtained by a needle that is inserted into the tumor. Participants will get the study drugs by vein for up to four 28-day cycles. The IL-15 will be given through a vein continuously for the first 5 days (120 hours) of each cycle. They avelumab will be given through a vein over about 1 hour on days 8 and 22 of each cycle. Participants will be hospitalized for their 1st week of IL-15 cycle and may be able to receive their subsequent IL-15 treatment as an outpatient depending on their side effects. Participants who receive the infusion as an outpatient will return to the hospital each day for a new bag of IL-15. Participants who cannot or do not want to be treated as an outpatient will be treated in the hospital during their 5-day IL-15 infusions. * Participants will need a midline venous catheter which is longer than a standard venous catheter but is still inserted into a peripheral vein in their arm. * Participants will have repeats of blood tests to monitor the blood counts and chemistry throughout the study. * Participants will have follow-up visits 30 days after their last treatment, every 60 days for the first 6 months, every 90 days for 2 years, then every 6 months.
* Multi-Center * Randomized * Open-Label Study of single agent IMO-2055 * Patients who have Metastatic or Locally Recurrent Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma (RCC)
Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) provides a novel approach for cancer treatment. LBH589, an oral HDAC inhibitor, has been well tolerated in phase I trials and has shown activity against several types of cancer.

Background: Kidney cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Some kidney tumors do not respond well to current treatments. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a pair of drugs (sasanlimab and palbociclib) in people with kidney cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with kidney cancer; specifically, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) or papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have an imaging scan and a test of their heart function. They may have a biopsy; that is, a sample of tissue will be cut from the tumor. Participants will be treated in 28-day cycles for up to 2 years. Palbociclib is a pill taken by mouth. Participants will take this drug once a day for 21 days during each 28-day treatment cycle. They will write down the dates and times they take these pills in a diary. Sasanlimab is an injection under the skin. Participants will receive this injection on the first day of each treatment cycle. Imaging scans and blood tests will be repeated throughout the treatment. Tumor biopsies may be repeated up to 3 times; these biopsies are optional. Participants will have follow-up visits every month for 3 months after treatment ends. They will continue to have imaging scans every 3 months; these scans may be done close to home. The results can be sent to researchers. Participants will remain in the study up to 6 years.

Background: * One way tumors are able to grow is by forming new blood vessels that supply it with nutrients and oxygen. * Vandetanib (ZD6474) is an experimental drug that blocks certain proteins on the surface of tumor and blood vessel cells that are involved with the formation of new blood vessels. * Blocking these proteins may prevent the tumor cells or blood vessels from continuing to grow. Objectives: * To determine whether vandetanib can cause tumors to shrink or stabilize in patients with advanced kidney cancer. * To determine how vandetanib may work in people with kidney cancer and to develop tests that may be helpful in studying kidney cancer. Eligibility: -Patients 18 years of age or older with advanced clear cell kidney cancer whose disease has worsened after treatment with one or more of the following drugs: sunitinib, sorafenib, interleukin-2 and temsirolimus; or patients who have had to stop treatment with these drugs due to unacceptable side effects; or patients who are unable to receive standard treatment. Design: * Patients take a vandetanib pill once a day in 28-day cycles. * Patients are followed in the clinic every 2 weeks during the first month of treatment and then every 4 weeks for a physical examination, blood and urine tests, electrocardiogram and a review of any drug side effects. * Patients have imaging scans (computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) about every 8 weeks to monitor tumor growth. MRI scans are also done to look at tumor blood flow when treatment begins, 24 hours after the first dose of treatment, and again about 4 and 8 weeks after starting treatment * Optional tumor biopsies (surgical removal of a sample of tumor tissue) may be done before starting vandetanib treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment to look for drug effects on the tumor.

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.
This is the first-in-human (Phase I) study of AMG 172, an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), in subjects with kidney cancer \[Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)\] who have relapsed or who have refractory disease following at least two prior therapies. The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AMG 172, and also evaluate the objective response rate in patients with ccRCC receiving AMG 172. The study will be conducted in two Parts: Part 1 will explore doses of AMG 172 given every two weeks and every three weeks to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and Part 2 (dose expansion) will examine safety, tolerability, PK and overall response rate in subjects treated at the MTD established in Part 1 for either every two week or every three week dosing.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of GSK3359609 and tremelimumab is safe and tolerable (Part 1) and provides significant survival benefit to subjects with relapsed/refractory (R/R) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) to warrant further clinical investigation (Part 2). Part 1 (dose escalation) will enroll subjects with advanced, selected solid tumors. Subjects will receive escalating doses of GSK3359609 and tremelimumab in combination in Part 1. Part 2 is randomized expansion and will enroll subjects with R/R HNSCC who have disease progression after receiving at least 1 platinum-based chemotherapy and at least 1 anti-programmed death receptor protein-1 (PD-1)/anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy, whether in combination or separately. In Part 2, subjects will be randomized in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either GSK3359609 in combination with tremelimumab at the recommended Phase 2 dose or investigators choice of a single-agent standard of care (SOC) therapy including paclitaxel, docetaxel or cetuximab. The total duration of subjects in the study will be approximately 4 years.
This is a single arm phase II study of axitinib in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with strong indications for partial nephrectomy (PN) for whom PN is not currently possible due to anatomic considerations and residual renal function concerns. Evaluation of tumor downsizing will be performed including changes of tumor complexity by nephrometry score. A total of 50 participants will be enrolled. It is hypothesized that pretreatment with axitinib will be safe and improve the feasibility of complex nephron sparing surgery in select patients with localized clear cell RCC and imperative indications for partial nephrectomy.
