Consolidative Metastasis and Primary Directed Therapy (MPDT) for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)

This is a non-randomized, open-label phase II study designed to estimate 12-month treatment-free survival rate following total consolidative metastasis-and-primary directed therapy (MPDT) among patients with partial response/stable disease after at least 6 months of immune checkpoint blockade-based therapy for metastatic clear cell RCC. The investigators hypothesize that patients who undergo total consolidative MPDT followed by systemic therapy discontinuation will have a 12-month treatment-free survival rate of 32% compared to a null hypothesis of 13%

Substudy 03C: A Study of Combination Therapies in Participants With Renal Cell Carcinoma With Recurrent Disease During or After Anti-PD-(L)1 Therapy (MK-3475-03C/KEYMAKER-U03)

Substudy 03C is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The larger study is the umbrella study (U03). The goal of substudy 03C is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental combinations of investigational agents in participants with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who have recurrent disease during or after anti-programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-\[L\]1) adjuvant therapy. This substudy will have two phases: a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase. The safety lead-in phase will be used to demonstrate a tolerable safety profile for the combination of investigational agents. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study

The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise Beyond Walls Program to Provide In-Home Cancer Treatment and Improve Treatment Satisfaction in Cancer Patients Living in the Florida Panhandle and Surrounding Areas

This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.

Comparison of In-Home Versus In-Clinic Administration of Subcutaneous Nivolumab Through Cancer CARE (Connected Access and Remote Expertise) Beyond Walls (CCBW) Program

This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.

A Study of HC-7366 in Combination With Belzutifan (WELIREG™) in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, safety, tolerability and efficacy study of HC-7366 in combination with belzutifan (WELIREG™). This is a multipart study that consists of a HC-7366 monotherapy cohort, a combination dose escalation, and a combination dose expansion. Approximately 80 patients will be enrolled in this study (up to 20 patients will be enrolled into the HC-7366 monotherapy cohort, up to 30 patients into the combination dose escalation, and up to 30 patients into the combination dose expansion). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of HC-7366 in combination with belzutifan in patients with locally advanced (inoperable) or metastatic RCC with predominantly clear cell histology, irrespective of VHL gene mutation status.

Testing of Bevacizumab, Erlotinib, and Atezolizumab in Combination for Advanced-Stage Kidney Cancer

This phase II trial studies the effects of combination therapy with bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab in treating patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumors. This may slow the growth and spread of tumors. Erlotinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a protein called EGFR that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Combination therapy with bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab may stabilize or shrink advanced hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer.

Intensified Monitoring of PhArmacology of Cabozantinib as a Tool for Toxicity Management in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

Adverse events (AEs) with Cabozantinib are frequent (about 40-67% of patients) and often lead to temporary treatment interruptions, dose reductions or permanent discontinuations, potentially reducing dose intensity and sustained exposure. Therefore, strategies are needed to improve tolerability without compromising antitumor activity. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is particularly suitable for drugs with high interpatient variability, narrow therapeutic windows and defined exposure-response relationships; real world data support this profile for Cabozantinib and suggest that pharmacokinetically guided dosing could help manage toxicity while maintaining efficacy. Based on this evidence, the study proposes a model of individualized pharmacological counselling integrating TDM, pharmacogenetic testing and structured evaluation of pharmacological interactions to optimize Cabozantinib exposure and minimize avoidable toxicity.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Guided Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Oligoprogressive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Melanoma, and Renal Cell Carcinoma

This phase II trial tests the safety of positron emission tomography (PET) guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and how well it works to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has up to 5 sites of progression (oligoprogression) compared to standard SBRT. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. A PET scan is an imaging test that looks at your tissues and organs using a small amount of a radioactive substance. It also checks for cancer and may help find cancer remaining in areas already treated. Using a PET scan for SBRT planning may help increase the dose of radiation given to the most resistant part of the cancer in patients with oligoprogressive NSCLC, melanoma, and RCC.
