Trial summary

While sunitinib can be very helpful to treat kidney cancer, these medications can also cause side effects, including heart damage. Studies performed in the past did not look at heart function in detail, so the investigators do not know what happens to the heart when people start sunitinib treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study of Acute Cardiovascular Effects of First-line Sunitinib in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients

While sunitinib can be very helpful to treat kidney cancer, these medications can also cause side effects, including heart damage. Studies performed in the past did not look at heart function in detail, so the investigators do not know what happens to the heart when people start sunitinib treatment. The aim of the study is to prospectively study acute effects of sunitinib on heart function, overall fitness and blood markers of heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Participants will undergo cardiac MRI, maximal exercise testing(VO2 peak), blood and urine samples before and after 2 treatments of sunitinib. An extra blood sample will be collected the 2nd week of the first treatment to check blood levels of sunitinib. We will also examine routine CT scans to study body composition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cell Carcinoma and Cardiotoxicity, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 5 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 25 Feb 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 Canada. 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.

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 25 Feb 2016.
