Trial summary

This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with metastatic, recurrent, or unresectable kidney cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of BMS 247550 (Ixabepilone) in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with metastatic, recurrent, or unresectable kidney cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the objective response rate in patients with metastatic, recurrent, or unresectable renal cell carcinoma treated with ixabepilone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the progression-free and overall survival rates in patients treated with this drug.

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Correlate VHL gene mutations with response in patients treated with this drug.

IV. Correlate VHL pathway protein expression with response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 3 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 9 weeks until disease progression and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.

Being tested
ixabepilone, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Renal Cell

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (partial or complete)

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Median PFS time and its associated 90% confidence interval will be estimated using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

    Measured: From the start of treatment to time of progression, assessed up to 5 years

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    OS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Median OS time and its associated 90% confidence interval will be estimated using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ixabepilone and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and Recurrent 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 46 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 25 Mar 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?

Objective response rate (partial or complete) (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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 25 Mar 2013.
