										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of kidney cancer known as <i>clear cell renal cell carcinoma</i> (ccRCC), which can spread to other parts of the body, a condition referred to as <i>metastatic renal cell carcinoma</i>. The study aims to compare two different imaging methods to see how well they can detect tumors in patients suspected of having this type of cancer. The two imaging methods being compared are <i>68Ga-gozetotide (PSMA) PET</i> and <i>89Zr-DFO-girentuximab PET</i>. These are special scans that help doctors see where the cancer might be in the body.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to explore and compare how effectively these two imaging methods can find tumors. Patients will receive both types of scans, and the results will be compared to see which method is better at detecting the cancer. The study will also look at how the cancer appears in these scans compared to a standard imaging method called <i>computed tomography</i> (CT), which uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body.</p>
<p>During the study, patients will undergo these imaging tests, and the results will be analyzed to determine the best way to detect tumors in this type of kidney cancer. The study will help doctors understand which imaging method provides the most accurate information about the presence and spread of the cancer, potentially leading to better diagnosis and treatment options for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of different treatments for <i>metastatic renal cell carcinoma</i>, a type of kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study will explore the impact of removing the primary tumor in patients who are already receiving standard care with <i>immunotherapy</i>. The treatments being tested include combinations of medications such as <i>axitinib</i> with <i>pembrolizumab</i>, <i>cabozantinib</i> with <i>nivolumab</i>, <i>lenvatinib</i> with <i>pembrolizumab</i>, and <i>nivolumab</i> alone after a combination of <i>nivolumab</i> and <i>ipilimumab</i>. These medications are known as <i>antineoplastic agents</i>, which help to stop the growth of cancer cells, and <i>protein kinase inhibitors</i>, which block certain proteins that promote cancer cell growth.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate how delaying the removal of the primary tumor affects the survival of patients who are receiving these treatments. Participants will be randomly assigned to either have the tumor removed or not, while continuing their current treatment. The study will last for a period of up to 36 months, during which the effects of the treatments on the patients&#8217; overall survival and progression-free survival will be monitored. Progression-free survival refers to the length of time during and after treatment that a patient lives with the disease without it getting worse.</p>
<p>Additionally, the study will assess the safety of the surgical procedure and its impact on the quality of life of the patients. Quality of life will be evaluated using specific questionnaires. The study will also look at how different treatment strategies affect the proteins in the body and how these changes relate to treatment outcomes. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the best treatment approaches for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of kidney cancer known as <i>metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC)</i>. This cancer has spread beyond the kidney and is being studied in patients who have a good or only one adverse risk factor. The study involves two treatments: <i>Inlyta</i>, which contains the active substance <i>axitinib</i>, and <i>Keytruda</i>, which contains <i>pembrolizumab</i>. Inlyta is taken as a tablet, while Keytruda is given as an infusion into a vein. These treatments are part of a group of medications called PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors and VEGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI), which help the immune system fight cancer and block signals that help cancer cells grow.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to see if taking a break from these treatments is as effective as continuing them for patients who have responded well to the treatment after about a year. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to either pause or continue their treatment. The study will monitor the participants&#8217; health and cancer status over time to see if the cancer stays under control without the treatment. The study will last for up to 24 months, and participants will have regular check-ups and assessments to track their progress.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, researchers will look at various aspects, such as how many participants do not experience cancer progression, the side effects of the treatments, and the overall quality of life of the participants. The study aims to provide valuable information on whether a treatment pause can be a safe and effective option for patients with <i>mRCC</i> who have responded well to initial treatment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on patients with <i>metastatic renal cell carcinoma</i>, a type of kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study is investigating the effects of a <i>folic acid</i> supplement, known as <i>Folimet</i>, compared to a placebo. Folic acid is a type of vitamin B that is important for cell growth and metabolism. The main goal of the study is to see if folic acid can help reduce mucositis, which is a painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract, often caused by cancer treatments.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive either the folic acid supplement or a placebo. The study will monitor the degree of mucositis experienced by participants, using a standard set of criteria known as the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). The study will also collect information on how often and how severe the mucositis is, based on patient self-assessments. Additionally, the study will look at other factors such as the need for dose reductions or discontinuations of cancer treatments, and the overall quality of life of participants.</p>
<p>The trial is expected to run until 2026, and it aims to provide valuable insights into whether folic acid can be an effective way to manage mucositis in patients undergoing treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This could potentially improve the comfort and quality of life for patients dealing with this challenging side effect of cancer therapy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of kidney cancer known as <i>oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma</i>. This condition involves a limited number of cancerous growths that have spread from the kidney to other parts of the body. The study is investigating the effectiveness of a treatment called <i>pembrolizumab</i>, which is also known by its brand name, <i>KEYTRUDA</i>. Pembrolizumab is a medication given through an intravenous infusion, meaning it is delivered directly into the bloodstream through a vein. The purpose of the study is to see if pembrolizumab can help delay the progression of the cancer in patients who are candidates for surgery or radiation therapy to remove or treat these metastases.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive pembrolizumab, and some may receive a placebo. The study will compare the outcomes of those who receive pembrolizumab with those who do not, to determine if the medication is effective in extending the time before the cancer progresses. The study will also look at how long patients live after treatment and monitor any side effects that may occur. The trial is expected to continue for several years to gather enough information to make these assessments.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, patients will undergo regular check-ups and imaging tests to monitor the status of their cancer. These tests will help doctors understand how the cancer is responding to the treatment. The ultimate goal is to find out if pembrolizumab can improve the quality of life and survival for patients with this type of kidney cancer.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of kidney cancer known as <b>advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma</b>. The study is comparing two different treatment approaches for this condition. One group of participants will receive a combination of two medications, <b>Nivolumab</b> and <b>Ipilimumab</b>, while the other group will receive a single medication called <b>Sunitinib</b>. Nivolumab and Ipilimumab are given as an infusion, which means they are administered directly into the bloodstream through a vein. Sunitinib is taken orally in the form of capsules.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to compare how well these treatments work in terms of how long patients live and how long they live without the cancer getting worse. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The study will follow participants over a period of time to monitor their health and the effects of the treatments. Some participants may receive a placebo, which is a substance with no active medication, to help compare the effects of the actual treatments.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will have regular check-ups and tests to assess their health and the progress of their cancer. The study aims to provide valuable information on the effectiveness and safety of these treatments for people with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This research could help improve future treatment options for this type of cancer.</p>
