About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Neo-Adjuvant Everolimus in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Definitive Therapy With Radical Nephrectomy, or Cytoreductive Nephrectomy - Analysis of Serum and Tissue Biomarkers

This study will gather data on potential biomarkers in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) and investigate their use as indicators of disease response. The results could eventually enable doctors to match levels of therapy to levels of biomarker on an individual basis and to increase the chance of disease response in patients. This study will also test a new paradigm in the treatment approach of advanced kidney cancer by using the drug everolimus in a neo-adjuvant setting, with the overarching goal of decreasing cancer recurrence rates and improving patient outcomes and survival.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • everolimusDrug

    Also called Afinitor, RAD-001

    10 mg/ day everolimus in the form of an oral tablet for 12 weeks leading up to nephrectomy (with a 1-week perioperative washout period) in patients with locally advanced disease and re-initiating the drug postoperatively in patients with metastatic disease for up to 24 months, or until disease progression. Dosage may be reduced at any point to 5 mg/ day in the event of any grade 3/ 4 toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response of primary tumor and metastases (if applicable) to everolimus in terms of tumor size and appearance (RECIST imaging response criteria) as determined by CT or MRI

    Measured: From 6 weeks after starting neo-adjuvant everolimus until 1 year post-nephrectomy (or up to 24 months post-nephrectomy in metastatic patients)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of everolimus on blood and tissue biomarker expression (periodic blood testing and tissue samples from baseline renal biopsy and nephrectomy) in and among patients with locally advanced and metastatic disease with respect to baseline values

    Measured: From baseline to 1 year post-nephrectomy for blood biomarker levels and from baseline to nephrectomy (week 12) for tissue biomarker levels

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing everolimus in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 4 Apr 2018. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response of primary tumor and metastases (if applicable) to everolimus in terms of tumor size and appearance (RECIST imaging response criteria) as determined by CT or MRI (time frame: From 6 weeks after starting neo-adjuvant everolimus until 1 year post-nephrectomy (or up to 24 months post-nephrectomy in metastatic patients)). 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 4 Apr 2018.
