About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of LBH589 in the Treatment of Patients With Refractory Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma

Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) provides a novel approach for cancer treatment. LBH589, an oral HDAC inhibitor, has been well tolerated in phase I trials and has shown activity against several types of cancer. In this nonrandomized phase II trial, we are investigating the activity of LBH589 in the treatment of patients with refractory clear cell renal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) provides a potential target for cancer treatment. Histones are components of the core proteins of nucleosomes, and acetylation and deacetylation of these proteins play a role in the regulation of gene expression. HDAC activity is known to be increased in many types of malignant cells; HDAC inhibitors have been shown to induce differentiation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in cultured tumor cells. Since this tumor-associated mechanism is common to many types of cancer, HDAC may have a broad role in cancer treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • LBH589Drug

    Also called Panobinostat

    LBHLBH589 will be administered orally at a dose of 45 mg (1 - 5 mg capsule and 2 - 20 mg capsules) on Monday and Thursday of each week (twice weekly). To enable patients to undergo cardiac monitoring (Section 3.5.2), all patients must begin treatment on a Monday, and continue Monday/Thursday dosing during subsequent treatment cycles.

To enable patients to undergo cardiac monitoring, all patients must begin treatment on a Monday, and continue Monday/Thursday dosing during subsequent treatment cycles. Patients with objective response or stable disease after re-evaluation at week 8 will continue LBH589 at the same dose until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity and/or at the discretion of the investigator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the interval from the date of first treatment with panobinostat until the date that disease progression or death occurred. Progressive disease (PD): 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum is observed during therapy), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing ≥Grade 2 Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) is the development of an undesirable medical condition, or the deterioration of a preexisting medical condition (other than the condition that is being treated by the trial) following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. The number of participants experiencing such adverse events that are related to the study drug are reported here.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Number of Participants With Overall Response

    Response was evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Overall response is defined as the proportion of participants whose disease either decreased (partial response- PR) or disappeared (Complete response - CR).

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LBH589 in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 10 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 10 inclusion and 19 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 23 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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 30 Nov 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?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT00550277, 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 23 Nov 2021.
