Clinical Trials Sumanta K. Pal is currently running
Radioactive Drug Therapy
for Prostate Cancer
This trial studies how well lutetium Lu 177 dotatate works in treating patients with a specific type of prostate cancer that has spread. The drug targets cancer cells and releases radiation to kill them. Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) PSMA therapy is a targeted treatment for advanced prostate cancer that has shown promising results.

Cabozantinib +/− Atezolizumab
for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This phase II trial compares the effect of atezolizumab in combination with usual treatment with cabozantinib to cabozantinib alone in patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a type of kidney cancer that forms in the lining of the tiny tubes in the kidney that return filtered substances that the body needs back to the blood and remove extra fluid and waste as urine. Most papillary tumors look like long, thin finger-like growths under a microscope. It is also called papillary kidney cancer or PRCC. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. By these actions it may help slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Combination therapy with atezolizumab and cabozantinib may shrink the tumor and allow a longer survival time in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
