About this study

Official title: A Phase II Randomized Discontinuation Trial Of Carboxyaminoimidazole (CAI, NSC 609974) In Metastatic Renal Carcinoma

Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboxyamidotriazole in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer. Carboxyamidotriazole may stop the growth of kidney cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the toxicity and disease-stabilizing effect of carboxyamidotriazole in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

II. Determine the objective response rate in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to time from diagnosis of metastatic disease to study entry (fewer than 24 months vs 24 months or more).

Patients receive oral carboxyamidotriazole (CAI) daily for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 4 courses, patients experiencing complete or partial response continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients with stable disease are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive oral CAI as above.

Arm II: Patients receive a placebo.

Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients experiencing disease progression are unblinded and those on placebo begin oral CAI as above.

Patients are followed every 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 335 patients will be accrued for this study within 15-25 months.

  2. Proportions of patients with stable disease

    Measured: Up to 16 weeks

  3. Objective response

    Measured: Up to 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboxyamidotriazole in people with Recurrent Renal Cell Cancer and Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 33 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients progressing on placebo to the proportion progressing on CAI (time frame: Up to 16 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2013.
