Trial summary

Preclinical studies as well as phase I and II trials have demonstrated that SU11248 has antitumor activity in renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumor and GIST. So at the light of these pre-clinical and clinical data, it seems interesting and promising to test SU011248 in these poor prognosis patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Of Su011248 In Patients With Recurrent And/Or Metastatic Squamous Head And Neck Carcinoma.

Preclinical studies as well as phase I and II trials have demonstrated that SU11248 has antitumor activity in renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumor and GIST. So at the light of these pre-clinical and clinical data, it seems interesting and promising to test SU011248 in these poor prognosis patients.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label phase II, multicenter study. Eligible patients will receive SU011248 in monotherapy (37.5 mg given continuously without interruption). Tumor check-up will be performed every 6-8 weeks. Treatment will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities according to the patient or the investigator (the median for treatment in renal cell study was 8 months).

Since, head and neck tumors are easily accessible for iterative biopsy, this study will offer the opportunity to get tumor biopsies before and after SU011248. Our study will allow translational research with biopsies at crucial timing: at baseline before any treatment, , during the treatment with SU011248 (cycle 1, between week 4 and 6), for patients with stable disease or partial response, a new biopsy will be performed at the time of disease progression to try to understand the mechanisms of tumor or resistance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the efficacy of SU011248 alone in patients with head and neck cancer in term of overall response rate (RECIST, see statistical consideration)

    Measured: every 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine the safety profile of SU011248 alone in patients with head and neck cancer.

    Measured: untill disaese progression

  2. Determine the efficacy of SU011248 alone in patients with head and neck cancer: progression-free survival and survival.

    Measured: untill disease progression

  3. Translational research objective:To better understand the mechanisms of sunitinib resistance by the analysis of the tumor biopsies (RNA, gene expression profile) and protein profile (plasma samples). Exploratory analyses.

    Measured: at week 6 and at disaese progression after recist response

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing biopsies and SU011248 in people with Recurrent Disease and Squamous Cell Head and Neck Carcinoma, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain at 9 sites in 2 countries.

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 17 inclusion and 11 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 19 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France, Belgium. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Too frequent grade 3-4 toxicities). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Determine the efficacy of SU011248 alone in patients with head and neck cancer in term of overall response rate (RECIST, see statistical consideration) (time frame: every 6 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 19 Sep 2019.
