What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate progression-free survival with capecitabine and interferon treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) patients (pts) with IL-2 failure in first-line

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of the capecitabine and interferon combination

    Measured: one year

  2. Evaluate response rate and overall survival with the capecitabine and interferon combination in MRCC pts with progression on IL-2 based regimens

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine, interferon-alpha in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by Kidney Cancer Research Bureau at 1 site in Russia.

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 22 inclusion and 0 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 1 May 2009. 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 Russia. 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 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?

Evaluate progression-free survival with capecitabine and interferon treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) patients (pts) with IL-2 failure in first-line (time frame: one year). 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 1 May 2009.
