Trial summary

This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with progressive regional or metastatic cancer of the urothelium. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) (IND 69896; NSC 724772) in Patients With Advanced Urothelial Cancer

This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with progressive regional or metastatic cancer of the urothelium. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the 4-month progression-free survival rate, response rate and toxicity of BAY 43-9006 in patients with progressing regional or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma (or mixed histologies containing a component of TCC) of the urothelium who have progressed on one and only one prior systemic chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the time to disease progression and overall survival with BAY 43-9006.

II. To evaluate the frequency of polymorphisms in drug metabolizing enzymes and to correlate these polymorphisms with variations in BAY 43-9006 pharmacokinetics.

III. To evaluate the frequency of raf kinase mutations in tumor specimens and correlate these with response rate.

IV. To evaluate serum VEGF levels as potential markers of angiogenesis inhibition by BAY 43-9006.

  1. To evaluate markers of apoptosis and kinase inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as potential biomarkers of BAY 43-9006 activity.

VI. To determine if there are proteins differentially translated from the genome in patients who respond to treatment with BAY 43-9006 versus patients who do not respond to BAY 43-9006.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral sorafenib twice daily on days 1-56. Courses repeat every 56 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months until 2 years from study entry and then every 6 months until 3 years from study entry.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression-free Survival at 4 Months

    Survival estimate from the Kaplan-Meier curve of the proportion of patients alive and progression-free at 4 months.

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from registration to progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s) or unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions.

    Measured: Assessed every cycle while on treatment; after being off-treatment, assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Time from registration to the earlier of disease progression or death. Patients alive and progression-free at last follow-up were censored.

    Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s) or unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions.

    Measured: Assessed every cycle while on treatment; after being off-treatment, assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 1 year.

  2. Overall Survival

    Time from registration to death. Patients alive at last follow-up were censored.

    Measured: Assessed every cycle while on treatment; after being off-treatment, assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 1 year.

  3. Best Overall Response by RECIST

    This outcome measure reports the best response a patient has ever experienced.

    <Target Lesions>

    Complete Response (CR):

    The disappearance of all target lesions, confirmed by assessments >=4 weeks (wks) later.

    Partial Response:

    >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions from baseline, confirmed by assessments >=4 wks later.

    Progressive Disease (PD):

    >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions from the smallest sum longest diameter since baseline, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Stable Disease (SD):

    Neither response criteria nor progressive disease criteria are met for >=8 wks.

    <Nontarget Lesions>

    CR:

    The disappearance of all nontarget lesions and normalization of tumor marker levels, confirmed by assessments >=4 wks later.

    SD:

    Persistence of nontarget lesions or maintenance of tumor marker levels above the normal limits for >=8 wks.

    PD:

    The appearance of new lesions or unequivocal progression of existing lesions.

    Measured: Assessed every cycle while on treatment; after being off-treatment, assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sorafenib tosylate and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Bladder and Distal Urethral 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 22 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression-free Survival at 4 Months (time frame: Assessed every cycle while on treatment; after being off-treatment, assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 1 year.). 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 30 May 2014.
