Kidney Neoplasm

The purpose of this study is to see whether the drug casdatifan is safe and effective either by itself or in combination with the drug zimberelimab in participants with resectable clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Casdatifan (a type of HIF-2α inhibitor) * Zimberelimab (a type of monoclonal antibody)

Retrospective studies indicate that active surveillance for clinically localized, small renal masses (cT1a, \<=4cm) is safe. It is our hypothesis that active surveillance is safe and efficacious when compared prospectively to patients undergoing immediate intervention for their small renal mass.

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: * the standard flank position, where the patient lies on their side * a newer supine position, where the patient lies on their back using a technique called Supine Anterior Retroperitoneal Approach (SARA). Both approaches are performed using the Da Vinci® Single Port (SP) robotic system, a state-of-the-art surgical robot that allows the operation to be done through a single small incision. The traditional flank position has been used for many years, but it can be uncomfortable for patients and may increase the risk of certain anesthetic or nerve-related complications, especially in people with higher body weight. The new supine SARA technique could make surgery faster, safer, and less painful, but it has not yet been tested in a randomized study. This is the first clinical trial designed to directly compare these two approaches in patients with small and localized kidney cancers (tumors ≤7 cm, stage cT1). The study will include 124 patients treated at ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan, Italy - a leading center in robotic urologic surgery.

This is Phase IV, randomized, multi arm, multicenter, low interventional clinical trial, aiming to evaluate if treatment of primary tumor in mRCC patients with initial benefit to anti-PD1- based therapy (SOC) can improve the overall survival. All patients eligible according to inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled and randomized to different treatment options based on tumor extension of the primary kidney cancer. Those with primary kidney cancer ≤ 4 cm will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive: * Cytoreductive Nephrectomy + standard of care (SOC) or * RT on primary tumor + SOC or SOC alone. Those with primary kidney cancer \> 4 cm will be randomized 1:1 to receive: • Deferred Cytoreductive Nephrectomy + SOC or SOC alone. Patients randomized to Deferred Cytoreductive Nephrectomy can be treated with one among radical nephrectomy; partial nephrectomy or lumpectomy. Patients randomized to RT should be treated with single shot of 25 Gy (or with multiple fractions with equivalent biological dose). The SOC medical therapy is the continuation of the combination of medical therapy for mRCC including one of the available combination among axitinib + pembrolizumab or cabozantinib + nivolumab or lenvatinib + pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone after nivolumab + ipilimumab.

The study of the blood concentration of ITK what are pazopanib and cabozantinib at 1 month and 3 months from the start of treatment will allow to evaluate the impact of renal failure on their efficacy and toxicity in patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

The G-NeSS Registry prospectively collects data on clinical and outcome variables from patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for renal masses. Analyses of data aims at identifying key factors determining the quality of surgical care in this patient population.

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.
