About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of PS-341 in Patients With Renal Cell Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which regimen of PS-341 is more effective in treating metastatic kidney cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the objective response rate in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer treated with bortezomib.
  • Determine the time to tumor progression and 1-year survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly on weeks 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo core biopsy.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo core biopsy. Patients then receive bortezomib IV as in arm I.

Patients undergo radiologic re-evaluation of measurable lesions. Patients with stable disease or a partial or complete response continue to receive bortezomib in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-41 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-14 months.

Study groups in NCT00025376
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pre-Treatment biopsy followed by PS-341 administrationExperimentalPre-treatment tumor biopsy followed by 3 cycles of PS-341 given by IV infusion. Each cycle will last 3 weeks. PS-341 will be given 2 times a week for 2 weeks followed by a 'rest' week with no drug. After the 3rd cycle, subjects can continue to receive another 3 cycles of the study drug if their disease has not worsened.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PS-341 and Tumor Biopsy in people with Kidney Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 10 sites 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?

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 5 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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?

Response Rate of PS-341 in colon cancer (time frame: 9 weeks). 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 5 Sep 2013.
