Testing the Addition of the Anti-Cancer Drug Tivozanib to Immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) After Surgery to Remove All Known Sites of Kidney Cancer

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding tivozanib to standard therapy pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone for the treatment of patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tivozanib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and tivozanib together may work better than pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with RCC.

A Phase 1 and 2 Study of VMD-102 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Other Solid Tumors

This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability to determine (i) the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of VMD-102 (Phase 1), and (ii) preliminary anti-tumor efficacy (Phase 2), in participants with advanced HCC, metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal cancer (CRC). The pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary anti-tumor activity, and potential biomarkers of VMD-102 will also be assessed. VMD-102 will be the first selective PKC epsilon (PKCε or PKCe) kinase inhibitor to enter human clinical testing. Preclinical VMD-102 anti-tumor activities in mouse liver/HCC tumor models and preclinical toxicology and pharmacology studies support this study.

Investigation of Lymph Node Biology in Kidney Cancer

The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the phenotype, anti-tumor effector functions, and TCR repertoire of T cells isolated from patient tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) to understand T cell priming and trafficking patterns in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Data and biospecimen collected will be used for current and future research projects involving the study of kidney cancer biology and related medical conditions. Investigators will use this valuable resource to ask clinically relevant translational questions that pertain to biomarker discovery/validation, identification of novel therapeutic targets, and to better understand the genetic and biological basis of the various kidney cancers.

ClAmpless, Sutureless PartIAl Nephrectomy for Renal Masses

During partial nephrectomy surgery, efforts at minimizing ischemia while maximizing renal parenchymal volume are desirable to preserve renal function1,2. Not only clamping of the hilum but the renorrhaphy portion of the procedure also can have a significant negative impact on renal function3-5. It is possible to perform this procedure without clamping the hilum and also without formal renorrhaphy. However robust prospective formal evaluation of safety, risks, and potential benefits and whether or not the technique can be employed in a generalized fashion has not been studied. Demonstration of safety and generalizability may open a whole new avenue of approaching nephron sparing and renal function sparing kidney surgery and decrease potential risks for long term kidney disease in patients with renal masses. This study will investigate the safety, efficacy, and generalizability of the use of clampless, sutureless partial nephrectomy in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma.

Registry of Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatment Using Spectral Angio-CT Image Guidance

This study collects data from patients undergoing minimally invasive, image-guided cancer treatments at participating hospitals in the Netherlands and France. All treatments are performed as standard clinical care and include procedures such as tumor ablation and catheter-based treatments of cancer in the liver, kidney, lung, and bone. During these procedures, a spectral angio-CT system is used for image guidance. This advanced CT scanner automatically captures additional imaging information beyond what is used in routine clinical decision-making. The goal of this study is to investigate how this additional imaging information is associated with treatment outcomes, and how it can be used in the future to improve treatment planning, procedural guidance, and prediction of treatment results. No experimental interventions are performed. Participation does not alter the treatment or follow-up patients receive. Data are collected from medical records and imaging systems and stored securely for analysis.

Cabozantinib Dose Skipping as an Alternative to Dose Reductions

The goal of this study is to determine if an alternative cabozantinib dosing regimens results in a similar drug exposure compared to the standard regimens in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). All dosages of cabozantinib (20 ,40, 60mg) have the same price, and cabozantinib is eliminated very slowly by the body. This means that using fewer tablets could potentially lead to cost savings, while remaining equally effective. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the drug exposure from our experimental regimens similar to the standard dosing regimens? * Do the experimental regimens affect the number of side effect and the patients' quality of life? Participants will: * Take cabozantinib according to either the experimental or standard dosage regimen for 4 weeks * After 4 weeks: visit the clinic to collect some blood samples and complete two questionnaires. * 1 and 3 days after this visit: visit the clinic to collect 1 blood sample. * The day after the hospital visit: switch to the other dosing regimen and according to that regimen for another 4 weeks. * After 4 weeks: visit the clinic to collect some blood samples and complete two questionnaires * 1 and 3 days after this visit: visit the clinic to collect 1 blood sample.
