Identifying biomarkers for kidney cancer treatment response

Predictive Role of Circulating Biomarkers Involved in Angiogenesis in Metastatic Kidney Cancer in the Era of New Therapeutic Associations: Immunotherapies, Anti-angiogenic

Observational Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05285579

This study is trying to find specific markers in blood and tumor samples that can help predict how well patients with advanced kidney cancer will respond to a combination of immunotherapy and other treatments.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, exploratory study aims to identify angiogenesis and immune-related biomarkers that can predict progression-free survival in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The study focuses on patients receiving a combination of immunotherapy and antiangiogenic treatments, specifically tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors. By analyzing blood and tumor samples, researchers hope to uncover new biomarkers that could guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. The study is open-label and prospective, involving multiple centers to gather diverse data.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with histologically proven advanced or metastatic renal carcinoma who are starting first-line treatment with a combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously received systemic treatment for renal cell carcinoma or have other cancers within the last five years may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for patients with advanced kidney cancer, improving their chances of survival.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored biomarkers in cancer treatment, but this specific approach focusing on the combination of TKI and ICI in renal cell carcinoma is relatively novel.
