Official title
A Pilot Study of Tremelimumab With or Without Tissue Cryoablation in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of tremelimumab with or without tissue cryoablation in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Tremelimumab binds to a protein called cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), which is found on the surface of T cells (a type of white blood cell). Tremelimumab may block CTLA-4 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Cryoablation is a procedure that uses a hollow, thin tube called a cryoprobe to freeze and destroy cancer tissue. It is not yet known whether tremelimumab with or without cryoablation is effective in treating patients with kidney cancer.
