About this study

Official title: Arterial Spin Labeling Blood Flow Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Evaluation of the Response to Therapy With the Combination of Sunitinib and AMG386 in 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 participants are on clinical treatment therapy of sunitinib and AMG386. An MRI is a type of scan that uses powerful magnets to make clearer images or to focus on detailed medical information in the abdomen and pelvis. The imaging done for this study will use the arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI technique that allows us to see blood flow changes which possibly may indicate changes in tumor growth. Participants will be on a clinical trial for the treatment.

Read the detailed description

All participants must be enrolled on protocol, "Collection of Specimens and Clinical Data from Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma Treatment with Targeted Therapies", about to start a treatment course with sunitinib and AMG386, and willing to come in for successive MRIs at the following times: baseline, 2 weeks upon initiation of therapy with sunitinib and AMG386, after cycle 2 and/or cycle 4 of therapy, and at the end of your study therapy.

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(RCC) measured by ASL MRI and tumor response to treatment with the combination of sunitinib and AMG386

    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 the combination of sunitinib and AMG386

    Measured: 2 years

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

    Measured: 2 years

  4. To compare above results to those observed in a comparable patient population receiving sunitinib alone.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arterial Spin Labeling Blood Flow 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 5 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 30 Jun 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 was stopped early. 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?

To explore the association of baseline blood flow in renal cell carcinoma(RCC) measured by ASL MRI and tumor response to treatment with the combination of sunitinib and AMG386 (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Jun 2020.
