Serial Ultrasound in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC)

To assess whether changes in quantitative tumor perfusion parameters after 3 weeks of treatment, as measured by power Doppler ultrasound, can predict initial objective response, defined by current standard-of-care, to therapy at 12 weeks after start of treatment

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

Intervention(s):

  • diagnostic test: Doppler Ultrasound
  • device: SIEMENS S3000 and Verasonics Vantage 256
  • drug: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor plus immune checkpoint inhibitor

Eligibility

   imaging

   - Written informed consent.

Specific inclusion criteria:

   - arm 1: planned to be treated with combination of VEGFR2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor
   (TKI) plus immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)

   - arm 2: planned to be treated with non-ICI therapy
