Systemic Treatment Alone Versus Systemic Treatment Plus Radiotherapy in Oligometastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
To evaluate whether incorporating locoregional radiotherapy in the treatment of oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma, including inductive oligometastases, along with standard systemic therapy, contributes to improved progression-free survival rates for patients.
Designing Visual Tools to Enhance Cancer Surgeon Decision-making
This prospective study will compare pre-post pilot test of surgeon-facing, visual decision support among urologists seeing patients with newly diagnosed localized prostate and kidney cancer. Up to 20 urologists (10 academic and 10 community) will be enrolled. The goal will be to capture up to 10 pre- and 10 post-intervention …
Alpha-Blockers Prior to Ureteral Access Sheath Placement in Flexible Ureteroscopy: A Randomized Prospective Study
This study aims to evaluate whether the use of alpha-blockers before flexible ureterorenolithotripsy facilitates the passage of the ureteral access sheath. The trial will enroll adult patients diagnosed with kidney stones who are scheduled for flexible ureteroscopy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive or not receive alpha-blockers for seven …
Clinical Trial Addressing the Best Surgical Approach for Partial Nephrectomy With Single Port Robotic System in the Management of Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma
This study aims to find out which surgical position is safer and works better for patients candidate to robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) - a minimally invasive procedure to remove a small kidney tumor while preserving healthy kidney tissue. During this operation, the patient can be placed in two different positions: …
Preop Laxatives in Robotic Urologic Surgery
Minimally-invasive surgery, either laparoscopic or robotic, is commonly used in urology. Several urologic procedures including prostatectomy, radical nephrectomy, and partial nephrectomy are now commonly performed robotically. Patients undergoing these procedures often have delayed return of bowel function and persistent gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension, and bloating for several days …
HRS-AKI Treatment With TIPS in Patients With Cirrhosis
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of TIPS implantation in patients with HRS-AKI (stage 2 and 3) and liver cirrhosis with standard therapy (drug therapy with terlipressin + albumin).
CD70-targeted immunoPET Imaging of Kidney Cancer
The aim of this study is to establish and optimize the [18F]RCCB6 PET/CT imaging method, and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, on the basis of which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agent in renal cancer (especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma) wil be evaluated.
Endothelin Receptor Antagonism with Ambrisentan to Treat Hepatorenal Syndrome
Patients with advanced cirrhosis of the liver develop kidney problems occasionally. This condition is called Hepatorenal Syndrome, requires hospitalization and frequently results in death. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the administration of low doses of ambrisentan can help patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome and to determine …
Proteomic Guided First-line Precision Treatment of Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma
Based on different subtypes, subjects will be placed in one of three treatment groups to explore individual efficacy and safety of various treatment regimen.
Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab and Axitinib in Renal Cell Carcinoma With Inferior Vena Cava Tumor Thrombus
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of Pembrolizumab and Axitinib given in the neoadjuvant setting can change the Inferior Vena Cava Tumor Thrombus burden. A decrease in the size of the tumor thrombus can potentially lead to decrease in surgical complications, improve patient related …
