About this study

Official title: Arterial Spin Labeling Blood Flow Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Evaluation of Response to Antiangiogenic and Targeted Therapies of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool to track tumor growth for renal cell carcinoma while the participant is receiving clinical treatment therapy with sunitinib or pazopanib. An MRI is a sophisticated type of scan that uses powerful magnets to make clearer images or to focus on detailed medical information in the participants abdomen and pelvis. This imaging done for this study will use the ASL MRI technique that allows us to see blood flow changes which possibly may indicated tumor growth.

Read the detailed description
  • MRI's will be performed at specific time points during the participants treatment for renal cell carcinoma with the drug sunitinib or pazopanib. These ASL MRI's will be performed at baseline, 2 weeks upon initiation of therapy with sunitinib/pazopanib, after cycle 2 and/or cycle 4 of therapy, and at the end of therapy.
  • The MRI tests for all participants will be done at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

What is being measured

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

  1. To explore the association of baseline blood flow in renal cell carcinoma measured by ASL MRI and tumor response to treatment with sunitinib or pazopanib

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To explore the association of changes in tumor blood flow that occur early in the course of therapy compared to baseline and response of RCC to treatment with sunitinib or pazopanib

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To evaluate the association between canges in tumor blood flow on ASL over the course of therapy and at the time of disease progression and resistance to therapy

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arterial Spin Labeling Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at 2 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

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 explore the association of baseline blood flow in renal cell carcinoma measured by ASL MRI and tumor response to treatment with sunitinib or pazopanib (time frame: 2 years). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00749320, 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 26 Feb 2020.
