About this study

Official title: Cost Effectiveness Of Sunitinib Vs IFN-Alfa Or Bevacizumab + IFN-Alfa As First-Line Treatment In MRCC In Central America And The Caribbean

Primary Hypothesis: The therapy with Sunitinib represents better cost-effectiveness than IFN-α in first-line treatment for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) in Central America and Caribbean countries

Read the detailed description

This study was terminated on 03Feb2011 due to the fact that the anticipated number of patients expected was not reached. The date of cessation of the drug was January 27, 2011. There was no intervention in the treatment or administration of the drug; the study only observed the treatment and collected data. As the study was dependent on the arrival of new patients with metastatic renal cancer, which was of a very low incidence, the study was terminated. Efficacy, adverse events or other safety issues were not factors in terminating the study. Lack of patients was the only reason.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of patients that present metastasis when consulting for first time

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Rate of use of Sutent, IFN-α and Bevacizumab + IFN-α as first-line treatment

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Hospitalization average with Sutent, with IFN-α, and with Bevacizumab + IFN-α

    Measured: 9 months

  4. Rate of success in first-line treatment with Sutent, in first-line treatment with IFN-α and in first-line treatment with Bevacizumab + IFN-α

    Measured: 9 months

  5. Average number of cycles of Sutent, IFN-α and Bevacizumab + IFN in first-line treatment

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of adverse effects with the use of Sunitinib, IFN-α and Bevacizumab + IFN

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Quality of life in patients using an approved quality questionnaire

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Costs-benefit of each treatment

    Measured: 9 months

  4. PFY (progression free years) with each treatment

    Measured: 9 months

  5. LY (life years) with each treatment

    Measured: 9 months

  6. QALYs (quality adjusted life years) with each treatment

    Measured: 9 months

  7. ICER (incremental cost effectiveness ratio) of PFY and LY with each treatment

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Pfizer at 1 site in Panama.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 19 Apr 2012. 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 Panama. 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: See termination reason in detailed description.). 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?

Rate of patients that present metastasis when consulting for first time (time frame: 9 months). The study lists 5 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 19 Apr 2012.
