Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 64 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Study subjects will be selected from a source population consisting of all persons in the PharMetrics database with one or more days of eligibility for comprehensive health benefits between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009.

Who may be able to join

  • two or more medical encounters with a diagnosis of kidney cancer (ICD-9-CM 189.0) or malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis (189.1), and
  • two or more medical encounters with a diagnosis of distant secondary malignant neoplasm (ICD-9-CM 197.XX-199.0, excluding 198.0 [kidney metastasis]) on different days <120 days apart (the date of the earliest such encounter will be designated the "index date").

Who cannot join

  • evidence of receipt of chemotherapeutic agents indicated or used in the treatment of advanced TCC, or
  • evidence of cystoscopy, biopsy of the bladder, or radical cystectomy
  • evidence of any other primary cancer

About this study

Information on the prevalence of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma and its symptom burden is limited in commercially insured adult patients. Additionally, limited information exists on economic burden of adverse events associated with treatments for advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma. An objective of the current study is to estimate the incidence, prevalence, and symptom burden associated with advanced/metastatic RCC in a US "real-world" setting. Another objective is to quantify the economic burden of severe adverse events with agents used in management of first line advanced/metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib). This study will employ a retrospective cohort design. Analyses of health insurance claims data from a large commercially insured population will be employed in the current study. Study subjects will consist of all persons, aged ≥18 years, with evidence of advanced RCC between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009; these persons will be identified based in part on case-ascertainment algorithms. Analyses will be directed at estimating annual rates of incidence and prevalence of advanced/metastatic RCC, as well as symptom burden and costs of common severe adverse events associated with treatments used in management of advanced/metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib).

What participants receive

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

  • Targeted agents indicated in management of advanced/metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib)Drug

    Also called VOTRIENT™ (pazopanib), SUTENT® (sunitinib malate), AVASTIN® (bevacizumab), NEXAVAR® (sorafenib)

    Metastatic RCC patients on either sunitinib or sorafenib or bevacizumab or pazopanib (identified based on claims) will be evaluated for presence or absence of common severe adverse events. These common severe adverse events will be identified from agent's product labels.

Study groups in NCT01381601
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Severe adverse event claims in subjects with metastatic RCCPresence or absence of common severe treatment related adverse events (based on existence of claims) in patients with metastatic RCC. Common severe adverse event defined as Grade 3 or higher with >=5% frequency of occurence as reported in product label.
Receives: Drug: Targeted agents indicated in management of advanced/metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib)

What is being measured

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

  1. New and existing claims of metastatic renal cell carcinoma across multiple years

    Identifying new and existing claims (based on claims based case-ascertainment algorithm) of metastatic renal cell carcinoma across multiple years

    Measured: 2000 - 2009 (up to 10 years)

  2. Cost associated with management of common severe adverse events related to 1st line treatments used in metastatic renal cell carcinoma

    Quantifying economic burden associated with management of common severe adverse events (defined as grade 3 and above adverse events occurring >= 5% as per product label) related to agents used in 1st line metastatic RCC (sunitinib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, and pazopanib). Adverse events will be identified based on product labels.

    Measured: 2000 - 2009 (up to 10 years)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quantify symptom burden associated with metastatic renal cell carcinoma

    Quantifying symptom burden based on identification of claims associated with the respective symptoms. Disease related symptoms will be identified based on published literature.

    Measured: 2000 - 2009 (up to 10 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

New and existing claims of metastatic renal cell carcinoma across multiple years (time frame: 2000 - 2009 (up to 10 years)). The study lists 2 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 13 May 2013.
