About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of RAD001 and Sunitinib in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of RAD-001 and Sunitinib given in combination for renal cell cancer. We also want to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of RAD-001 and Sunitinib have on you and your tumor.

RAD001 is a pill that works by shutting down some of the pathways in the cell that make tumors grow. Sunitinib is a pill that works by shutting off the signal in the cancer cells that tell the cells to grow blood vessels. Without this signal, the blood vessels to the tumors shrink down.

Read the detailed description

To assess the maximum tolerated doses and overall safety and tolerability of Sunitinib administered in combination with RAD001 for the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

To assess antitumor activity of the combination of Sunitinib and RAD001.

This study is designed to confirm that the 2 agents can be administered safely in combination. Patients will begin treatment with Sunitinib and RAD001 on Day 1. RAD001 will be administered orally on a weekly schedule. Sunitinib will be given orally on a 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule. DLT determination will be based on toxicities observed in Cycle 1 - a cycle is defined by Sunitinib dosing ( 6 weeks). Once the MTD for the combination has been identified, a total of 10 patients will be enrolled at the highest dose level that allows for administration of multiple cycles and provides potentially therapeutic drug levels of both drugs to further assess safety and tolerability and to obtain a preliminary assessment of efficacy. Patients will be treated with RAD001 and Sunitinib until there is disease progression, significant toxicity or withdrawal of patient consent. Patients judged to derive benefit from treatment would be offered participation in a continuation protocol at the conclusion of this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RAD001, SunitinibDrug

    Patients will start treatment with Sunitinib and RAD001 on Cycle 1, Day 1. Sunitinib will be given orally daily for 4 weeks followed by a 2 week rest period. RAD001 will be given orally daily or weekly in subsequent cohorts with the first treatment on day 1. DLT determination will be based on toxicities observed in Cycles 1 - a cycle being defined by Sunitinib dosing. Once the MTD for the combination has been identified, a total of 10 patients will be enrolled into the study at the highest dose level that allows for administration of multiple cycles and provides potentially therapeutic drug levels of both drugs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RAD001, Sunitinib in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Kidney Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 18 inclusion and 27 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 26 Feb 2010. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

To assess the maximum tolerated doses and overall safety and tolerability of Sunitinib administered in combination with RAD001 for the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. (time frame: toxicities observed in Cycle 1 - a cycle is defined by Sunitinib dosing ( 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 26 Feb 2010.
