Trial summary

Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) have a 3-5x increased occurrence of cancer in contrast to the general population with basal and squamous cell skin cancer. The use of immunosuppressant or anti-rejection drugs that are needed after SOTR is known to increase the risk of developing certain kinds of cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Sirolimus in Renal Transplant Patients Diagnosed With New or Recurrent Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma Currently on Calcineurin-based Immunosuppression.

Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) have a 3-5x increased occurrence of cancer in contrast to the general population with basal and squamous cell skin cancer. The use of immunosuppressant or anti-rejection drugs that are needed after SOTR is known to increase the risk of developing certain kinds of cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out how well Sirolimus (also known as Rapamune) works at treating squamous cell carcinoma in renal transplant patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase II randomized study to evaluate the effectiveness of Sirolimus in treating and preventing squamous cell skin cancer carcinoma using a Simon's 2-stage design. As part of the study, after the biopsy results of the skin cancer show squamous cell carcinoma and consent had been obtain, the participant will begin taking Sirolimus. The calcineurin inhibitor (tacrolimus or cyclosporine) will be discontinued once the transplant doctors find that the participants Sirolimus is therapeutic by checking blood tests once a week x 3 weeks. Approximately 5 weeks after starting Sirolimus, the squamous cell skin cancer will be removed by a surgeon. Participant next follow up visit for the study is scheduled one year post-operatively. .The study will look at your squamous cell skin cancer under the microscope to see if sirolimus had any effect at treating your squamous cell skin cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • SirolimusDrug

    Also called Rapamune

    Patients randomized to this arm of the study will receive sirolimus from the time of randomization at least until 5 weeks or the removal of the skin tumor. Nephrology will determine/manage the immunosuppressant therapy.

Sirolimus treatmentExperimentalPatients will receive sirolimus 5 weeks prior to removal of squamous cell skin carcinoma. After the 5 weeks of treatment, nephrology will determine/manage each patient's immunosuppressant therapy.
Receives: Drug: Sirolimus

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma in Patients

    Baseline: Measuring of squamous cell skin carcinoma, Week 5: Measuring and surgical removal of squamous cell skin cancer with microscopic evaluation, and in 1 year.

    Measured: Baseline, time of surgical removal (5 weeks) and 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of Skin Tumor for Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma

    Tumor will be analyzed at baseline and time of surgical removal by both laboratory and microscopic testing.

    Measured: At baseline and time of surgical removal (5 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sirolimus in people with Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma, run by University of Florida 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 9 inclusion and 13 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 14 Nov 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 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 3 Mar 2015). 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?

Measure of Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma in Patients (time frame: Baseline, time of surgical removal (5 weeks) and 1 year.). 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 14 Nov 2018.
