To evaluate the effect of cabozantinib in combination with avelumab on OS compared to avelumab alone in patients with mUC who did not progress during first-line platinum-based chemotherapy therapy, i.e. patients who had CR, PR or SD after completion of first line platinum-based chemotherapy.

A Phase III, Randomized, Open-Label Active Comparator-Controlled Multicenter Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Obinutuzumab in Patients with Primary Membranous Nephropathy
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of obinutuzumab compared to tacrolimus in patients with primary membranous nephropathy
Agree to participate in one of two treatment groups, attend scheduled study visits and have blood drawn for samples. will have visits approximately every 2 to 14 weeks during the first two years of the study, every 12-16 weeks in the third and fourth years of the study, and then every 26 weeks until you finish the study. Visits will usually last 1-3 hours, but visits that require an obinutuzumab infusion may last 6 hours.Your total time in the study will be a minimum of about 4 years, but could be up to about 9 years, depending on how the treatment affects your disease.

A Phase 3 RandOmized Study Comparing PERioperative Nivolumab Vs. Observation in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Nephrectomy (PROSPER RCC) (EA8143) (PSCI 18-025)
Site For 18-025, EA8143 A Phase 3 Study Comparing Perioperative Nivolumab Vs. Observation in Patients with Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Nephrectomy
You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have cancer in your kidney, which is planned to be removed by a surgeon. The standard treatment for your disease is to remove the kidney or part of the kidney that contains the cancer by surgery. You are then monitored after surgery with imaging scans and exams to watch for any possiblesigns of recurrence (close observation)
No clinical or radiological evidence of distant metastases
No concurrent or prior systemic or local anti-cancer therapy for RCC is permitted
Age must be greater than or equal to 18 years old
ECOG Performance status must be 0 or 1

Multicenter Phase 3 Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Low Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer
Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is a recurrent disease. The current standard treatment for most UTUC patients requires surgery either removing some of the ureter in each operation or radical nephroureterectomy (RNU-removal of kidney and ureter) but the role of minimally invasive & kidney- preserving methods is increasing. The use of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) was investigated in a Phase 1 clinical study in the minimally-invasive treatment of UTUC with the goal of identifying safe laser/light exposure and signs that the tumor has been reduced or eliminated. Early results from this study have been highly promising, revealing the effects of tumor removal with a positive safety profile, indicating the potential role of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) in the treatment of low-grade UTUC disease.This Phase 3 study is designed to provide confirmation of the observed Phase 1 findings. Patients are expected to remain in the study for 25 to 28 months. Participation in this study will include up to 9 study visits to Hershey Medical Center and 2 phone visits.
Biopsy-proven disease. A concurrence of the central pathology reader will be required for eligibility.
Up to 2 biopsy-proven sites of low-grade involvement. Please contact site for tumor dimension criteria.
