Trial summary

One third of patients with kidney cancer are diagnosed in the metastatic stage, and among patients with a localized form, about 30 to 40% will develop metastases after surgery. Medical treatment of metastatic renal cancer include immunotherapy with interferon α and/or IL-2, or targeted therapies such as… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Serum Carbonic Anhydrase 9 (CA9) Level as Biological Marker of the Treatment Response in Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer : a Pilot Study

One third of patients with kidney cancer are diagnosed in the metastatic stage, and among patients with a localized form, about 30 to 40% will develop metastases after surgery.

Medical treatment of metastatic renal cancer include immunotherapy with interferon α and/or IL-2, or targeted therapies such as anti-angiogenic (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), anti-tyrosine kinase inhibitors and m-TOR). These treatments sometimes associated (or IL2 + INF or INF AntiVEGF) do allow for objective response in 15 to 30% of cases (net benefit of targeted therapies), but are carriers of potentially significant side effects and are very expensive. The treatment response is considered on imaging exams repetitive, costly and inconsistently reliable. A serum marker of tumor development would be particularly welcome.

CA9 is an oncogene also know as CA IX, carbonic anhydrase 9 or MN/CA9. The gene encoding an oncoprotein called indifferently membrane antigen MN, MN/CA9 isoenzyme, carbonic anhydrase IX CA9, G250/MN/CA9 or protein G250. It was demonstrated that the level of expression of CA9 in tumor tissue can be used as a predictive marker of response to immunotherapy.

In previous studies, the investigators tried to use CA9 to improve the differential diagnosis of kidney tumors using tumor biopsy or fine needle aspiration. More recently, the investigators have developed the ELISA and quantitative reat time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to study the CA9 protein and CA9 mRNA in the serum of patients with non-metastatic kidney cancer. The investigators have thus shown that CA9 was overexpressed prior to surgery and that this expression disappeared after tumor ablation.

We propose a pilot study of CA9 serum in patients with adenocarcinoma metastatic cell treated by conventional immunotherapy and / or targeted therapy. This pilot study aims to test the CA9 serum marker of response to medical treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. serum protein CA9 and mRNA CA9 level under medical treatment

    Measured: before treatment, at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation clinical response (complete response, partial response, stabilization, progression)-evolution serum CA9 level in blood and urine

    Measured: Before treatment, at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  2. The type and duration of clinical response based on the initial rate and the slope of decline

    Measured: Before treatment, at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  3. serum CA9 level basis and during the following treatment groups of the MSKCC prognostic

    Measured: Before treatment, at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Kidney Cancer and Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 3 sites in France.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Difficult for recruiting). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

serum protein CA9 and mRNA CA9 level under medical treatment (time frame: before treatment, at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 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 NCT00942058, 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 29 Jan 2014.
