Study population: The study population for this trial are patients with confirmed clear cell carcinoma with measurable metastases on CT/MRI imaging (by RECIST). Only a component of clear cell is required.

Who may be able to join

  • Total serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x uln (patients with gilbert's disease exempt) ii. Serum transaminases (ALT) <3 x uln iii. Calculated creatinine clearance >30ml/min iv. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/mm3 without growth factor support v. Platelets ≥ 75,000/mm3
  • Signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient (or legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all the pertinent aspects of the trial prior to enrolment.

  • Male patients must be surgically sterile or agree to use adequate contraception during the period of therapy.
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that would in the judgement of the investigator, impart excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or which, in the judgement of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Investigating Upfront Pazopanib In Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cancer (Panther)

The purpose of this study is to investigate if 14 weeks of pazopanib therapy prior to surgery (nephrectomy) is of benefit to patients with metastatic renal cancer. Ninety-five patients will be recruited into his study.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase II, open label study evaluating pre-operative pazopanib treatment in previously untreated patients with metastatic clear cell renal cancer. This study follows a Simon 2 stage design

Patients will take pazopanib for 14 weeks followed by a nephrectomy. The drug will continue after nephrectomy until disease progression is documented. Patients will come off study once disease progression occurs, where they will then be followed for survival. Subsequent treatment at the discretion of the treating physician will be documented.

After surgery, all patients will be radiologically evaluated 8 weekly until progression. Standard radical nephrectomy with lymph node dissection will be performed on those patients who are deemed operable. The surgery can be laparoscopic or open. Those not deemed suitable for nephrectomy after 14 weeks of treatment will be offered a repeat biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical benefit of 14 weeks of pre-operative pazopanib therapy, prior to nephrectomy using RECIST 1.1 criteria

    12 week CT scan will be compared to the baseline CT scan using RESIST criteria 1.1 to assess whether the patients have benefited from the upfront pazopanib treatment.

    Measured: Interim analysis after 34 patients have 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Surgical complications (blood loss, post operative complications, hospital stay)

    Following surgery information regarding the quantity of blood loss, time the surgery took, length of hospital stay and whether there were any surgical complications will be recorded.

    Measured: After the first 20 patients have had a nephrectomy

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival will be measured from start of treatment to time of death.

    Measured: After three years of study

  3. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival will be measured from start of study treatment to time of disease progression.

    Measured: After all patients have progresssed

  4. Local response of primary tumour to pazopanib

    Measured: After 12 weeks of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cancer, run by Queen Mary University of London at 9 sites in United Kingdom.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

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?

Clinical benefit of 14 weeks of pre-operative pazopanib therapy, prior to nephrectomy using RECIST 1.1 criteria (time frame: Interim analysis after 34 patients have 12 weeks of treatment). 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 12 Jun 2014.
