About this study

Official title: Phase II Open-Label Study of Sunitinib Malate (SUO11248) in Adult Subjects With Metastatic and/or Surgically Unresectable Hepatocellular Cancers (HCC)

An open label multi-site phase II clinical trial of dose escalated sunitinib malate given orally once daily on days 1-28 of each 42-day cycle. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative or acute toxicity which in the opinion of the treating physician compromises the ability of the patient to receive treatment or patient desire to stop treatment.

Read the detailed description

An open label multi-site phase II clinical trial of sunitinib malate given orally once daily on days 1-28 of each 42-day cycle. Sunitinib malate will be dispensed as capsules at the beginning of each treatment cycle. The dose may be escalated at the investigator's discretion. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative or acute toxicity which in the opinion of the treating physician compromises the ability of the patient to receive treatment or patient desire to stop treatment.

A follow up visit will be required before the beginning of every cycle every 6 weeks to assess toxicity and for physical examination. Complete blood count (CBC) and differential, comprehensive metabolic panel (including liver function tests) and alpha-feto protein (when indicated) will be obtained at every scheduled follow up visit.

What participants receive

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

  • Sunitinib MalateDrug

    Also called SU011248, Sutent

    Once daily oral doses on days 1-28 of each 42-day cycle. The dose for the first 2 cycles will be 37.5 mg daily for 28 days, every 42 days. Dose may be escalated to 50 mg daily for 28 days at the treating investigator's discretion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Partial Response (PR) at Interim Analysis

    Partial Response at Interim Analysis. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter (LD). Response was evaluated using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee [JNCI 92(3):205-216, 2000].

    Measured: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant

  2. Number of Participants With Stable Disease (SD) at Interim Analysis

    Stable Disease (SD) Rate at Interim Analysis. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for Partial Response (PR) nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter (LD) since the treatment started. Response and progression were evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee [JNCI 92(3):205-216, 2000].

    Measured: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant

  3. Number of Participants With Progressive Disease (PD) at Interim Analysis

    Progressive Disease Rate. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Response and progression were evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee [JNCI 92(3):205-216, 2000].

    Measured: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Participant Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)

    Investigators planned to determine the time to tumor progression (TTP) of sunitinib malate in the treatment in unresectable Hepatocellular Cancers (HCC). TTP is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression.

    Measured: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant

  2. Number of Participants With Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) of sunitinib malate in the treatment in unresectable HCC

    Measured: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant

  3. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    The toxicity of sunitinib malate in the treatment in unresectable HCC

    Measured: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib Malate in people with Liver Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 15 inclusion and 16 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 27 Mar 2012. 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 23 Mar 2012). 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?

Number of Participants With Partial Response (PR) at Interim Analysis (time frame: On Treatment to Off Study - average of 7 months per participant). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Mar 2012.
