What is being measured

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

  1. Relative Tumor Size Change Following 8 Weeks of Therapy.

    The primary objective is to determine whether high SUV uptake on FDG-PET is associated with greater tumor shrinkage. Tumor size is defined as the sum of unidimensional tumor measurements from standard CT imaging calculated according to RECIST criteria. Tumor size is measured at baseline and after eight weeks of therapy. Tumor shrinkage is the relative change (%) in tumor size from baseline.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percent Change in FDG-PETUptake Following 2 Weeks of Therapy

    The secondary objective was to explore whether an early change in FDG-PET uptake is associated with tumor shrinkage. Change in FDG-PET uptake was calculated using the baseline and 2-week FDG-PET scans.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RAD001 in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by University of Chicago at 5 sites 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 9 inclusion and 13 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 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 9 Nov 2017). 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?

Relative Tumor Size Change Following 8 Weeks of Therapy. (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00529802, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
