About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Sorafenib in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma at Stanford University

Determine time-to-progression (TTP) for an escalating dose schedule for subjects with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with sorafenib

Read the detailed description

Sorafenib to be administered as 28-day cycles.

Sorafenib dose escalation by cycle is:

  • Cycle 1: 400 mg BID
  • Cycle 2: 600 mg BID
  • Cycle 3+: 800 mg BID

Within subject dose escalation and maximum dose is dependent on observed tolerability.

Dose escalation only occurs after acceptable tolerability is demonstrated by subject.

Being tested
Sorafenib
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Renal Cell, Kidney Diseases, Kidney Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sorafenib in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell and Kidney Disease, run by Stanford University 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 22 inclusion and 24 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 19 Jun 2015. 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 14 Jan 2015). 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?

Time-to-progression (TTP) (time frame: 12 months). 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 19 Jun 2015.
