About this study

Official title: Brivanib (BMS-582664, Brivanib Alaninate) in Treatment of Refractory Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma - A Phase II Pharmacodynamic and Baseline Biomarker Study

This is a phase II study of an investigational agent, brivanib, in patients with refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of brivanib in renal cell carcinoma, and explore the activity of this drug in this population to determine whether imaging and molecular features of the tumors can be used to predict response. Approximately 30 people with advanced kidney cancer will be enrolled on this study at the University of Pennsylvania.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of brivanib in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients who have progressed on treatment with sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, or pazopanib. The primary endpoint of the trial will be PFS at 16 weeks. The secondary objectives are to further examine the safety and tolerability profile of brivanib, to examine the efficacy of brivanib in this population in terms of best overall response, response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival, to describe baseline and changes in I-cG250 PET/CT in relation to observed therapeutic effects, to describe novel baseline histologic features of these tumors in relation to observed therapeutic effects. Modalities will include Von Hippel-Lindau gene (VHL) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 gene (HIF-1) expression assessment and a novel histo-cytometric assessment of the tumor microenvironment in terms of p-STAT3, p-ERK, Ki67, VEGFR2, FGFR1 expression, to describe changes in circulating collagen IV on brivanib in relation to therapeutic effects, to explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms in angiogenesis-related genes and the activity of brivanib in the treatment of these patients.

Being tested
Brivanib alaninate, Polymerase chain reaction, Iodine I 124 chimeric monoclonal antibody G250, Positron emission tomography/computed tomography, Protein expression analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    All patients will be followed through the entire 16-week period and will be given a binary outcome assignment: progressive disease or not.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Best Overall Response Rated for Each Patients as Assessed by RECIST 1.1 Guidelines

    The best overall radiographic response to therapy as measured and assessed using RECIST 1.1 guidelines will be captured for each research subject.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks

  2. Overall Survival

    Will record deaths on study, and, to the extent possible, after the study follow-up period is completed for each patient, will be captured. Reason for death will be identified and recorded where possible.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks

  3. Change in Total Antibody Binding as Assessed by 124I-cG250 PET/CT Imaging (Correlative Studies)

    Will determine the baseline and change in total antibody binding in lesions from baseline to the time on treatment that patients are assessed. The analysis dataset will be quantitated radiotracer uptake data obtained via I-cG250 PET/CT for all evaluable patients who complete the trial.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks

  4. Response Rate for All Patients

    Response Rate for all patients as assessed by RECIST 1.1 guidelines

    Measured: Every 8 weeks

  5. Molecular Markers

    Molecular markers expressed in patient tumor specimens as assessed by IHC and histocytometry (e.g., VHL, HIF, p-STAT3, p-ERK, and Ki67, VEGFR2, and FGFR1) (correlative studies)

    Measured: At baseline

  6. Changes in Collagen IV Levels

    Changes in collagen IV levels for each patient (correlative studies)

    Measured: At baseline and week 3

  7. Germline Polymorphisms and Assessment of Relationship to Toxicity and Clinical Outcome

    Germline polymorphisms and assessment of relationship to toxicity and clinical outcome (correlative studies)

    Measured: At baseline and week 3

  8. Blood Pressure Data

    Blood pressure data

    Measured: At baseline, day 1 weeks 3,6,8,12,16 and every 6-8 weeks thereafter

  9. Toxicity as Assessed by NCI CTCAE Version 4.0

    Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 4.0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brivanib alaninate, Polymerase chain reaction and Iodine I 124 chimeric monoclonal antibody G250 in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 15 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 13 Apr 2021. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Mar 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 16 weeks). 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 13 Apr 2021.
