Trial summary

RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

About this study

Official title: Effects of Sunitinib in the Expression of VEGF and of Interleukin 6 and CXCL7 - CXCL5 Cytokins : Explanation of Anti-angiogenic Effects.

RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine whether a link exists between the effectiveness of therapy with sunitinib malate and development of blood biomarkers, specifically the angiogenic factors VEGF and interleukin-8 (IL-8), in patients with kidney cancer.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the link between the time to progression and the development of VEGF and IL-6 CXCL7 and CXCK5 blood levels in these patients.
  • To evaluate the link between VEGF and IL-6 CXCL7 and CXCK5 blood levels and disease-free survival of these patients after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment.
  • To evaluate the link between VEGF and IL-6 CXCL7 and CXCK5 blood levels and overall survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood samples are collected at baseline and then every 6 weeks for pharmacokinetic analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sunitinib malate, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Centre Antoine Lacassagne at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 10 Nov 2016. 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 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 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?

Disease response (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 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 NCT00943839, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 10 Nov 2016.
