About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 and Biomarker Study of Tivozanib in Subjects With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter study. Subjects will be stratified by histology (clear cell versus non-clear cell). Enrollment of non-clear cell subjects will be limited to ≤ 30% of the entire study population.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm, multi-center, study of orally administered tivozanib to approximately 100 subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study is designed to evaluate biomarkers in blood and archived tissue samples, and their correlation with clinical activity and/or treatment-related toxicity in subjects with advanced RCC, and estimate the percentage of tivozanib-treated subjects who are progression-free at 6 months, overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK). Subjects will be stratified by histology (clear cell vs. non-clear cell). Enrollment of non-clear cell subjects will be limited to ≤ 30% of the entire study population.

Study enrollment is anticipated to complete in approximately 9 months. Treatment duration is estimated to last approximately 6 months from the subject's first dose of tivozanib with a follow-up period of 30 days. After 6 months, treatment with tivozanib may continue by participation in a rollover protocol (AV-951-09-901). Maximum duration of subject participation in this Phase 2 study is approximately 8 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarkers in Blood and Archived Tissue Samples, and Their Correlation With Clinical Activity in Subjects With Advanced Renal Cell Cancer Treated With Tivozanib.

    To Evaluate CD68, HIF (hypoxia induced factor) 1/HIF2, VEGF A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, HGF (hepatocyte growth factor), CAIX, and PLGF (placental growth factor) levels and a biomarker signature based on transcriptional profiles.

    Measured: Cycle 1 day 1, cycle 1 day 15 and cycle 2 day 1.

  2. Biomarkers in Blood and Archived Tissue Samples, and Their Correlation With Treatment-related Toxicity in Subjects With Advanced Renal Cell Cancer Treated With Tivozanib.

    To Evaluate biomarkers like VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, HGF, and PLGF levels, protein expression and metabolite patterns.

    Measured: Cycle 1 day 1, cycle 1 day 15 and cycle 2 day 1.

  3. Number of Tivozanib-treated Subjects Who Are Progression-free at 6 Months

    Subjects were considered to be progression-free at 6 months if they did not have disease progression or death by Day 182 and if they had an evaluation of confirmed PR, unconfirmed PR, or SD on or after Day 144.

    Measured: Throughout the treatment period (approximately 6 months from the subject's first dose of tivozanib).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Subjects With Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of evaluable subjects who had a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Based on RECIST v1.1 for target lesions, CR is the disappearance of all target lesions, reduction in short axis of any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) to < 10 mm and PR is at least a 30% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

    Measured: Throughout the treatment period (approximately 6 months from the subject's first dose of tivozanib).

  2. Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the duration in days from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of first documentation of Progressive Disease (PD) or death (whichever came first), censored at the last tumor assessment documenting the absence of PD prior to the start of further anti-cancer therapy. Based on RECIST v1.1, progressive Disease (PD) is defined as an increase of at least 20%, and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study.

    Measured: Throughout the treatment period (approximately 6 months from the subject's first dose of tivozanib).

  3. Number of Subjects With Adverse Events

    Subjects were monitored throughout the treatment and 30 day follow-up period for occurrence of adverse events as well as for changes in clinical status, vital signs, and laboratory data.

    Safety parameters to be measured/assessed include eligibility assessment, medical history, performance status evaluation, vital signs, physical examination, subjective reports, hematology, serum chemistries, thyroid function tests, coagulation parameters, urinalysis, pregnancy test, and ECG.

    Measured: Throughout the treatment period (approximately 6 months from the subject's first dose of tivozanib) and 30 day follow-up period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tivozanib in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 25 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 42 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 27 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States, 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.

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 27 Oct 2020). 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?

Biomarkers in Blood and Archived Tissue Samples, and Their Correlation With Clinical Activity in Subjects With Advanced Renal Cell Cancer Treated With Tivozanib. (time frame: Cycle 1 day 1, cycle 1 day 15 and cycle 2 day 1.). The study lists 3 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 27 Oct 2020.
