About this study

Official title: A Pilot Clinical Trial of Neoadjuvant Tivozanib in Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma

This clinical trial studies tivozanib before surgery in treating patients with localized kidney cancer. Tivozanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the growth factors needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the feasibility of conducting a trial of tivozanib in the neoadjuvant setting of localized (completely resectable) renal cell cancer (RCC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety of tivozanib in the neoadjuvant setting. II. To compare the tissue before and after tivozanib for pharmacodynamic purposes (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, myeloid derived suppressor cells, necrosis in the primary tumor after exposure to tivozanib).

III. To assess the overall response rate of tivozanib in primary tumors and correlate the radiographic changes, if any, to histo-pathological changes in the pathology specimen post-nephrectomy.

IV. To compare the various growth factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], interleukin-8 [IL-8], placenta growth factor [P1GF]) at baseline and post treatment.

  1. To assess the nephrectomy rate after applying neoadjuvant tivozanib in this primarily resectable RCC population.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive tivozanib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 25 days after completion of tivozanib, patients undergo curative nephrectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

Being tested
tivozanib, therapeutic conventional surgery
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Renal Cell

Treatment (tivozanib and surgery)ExperimentalPatients receive tivozanib PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 25 days after completion of tivozanib, patients undergo curative nephrectomy.
Receives: Drug: tivozanib; Procedure: therapeutic conventional surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of conducting a trial of tivozanib in terms of patients completing 2 courses of tivozanib

    Measured: Up to 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Short-term efficacy defined as a composite of presence of partial response/stable disease/complete response assessed radiographically and correlated with the nephrectomy specimen per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria

    Response rate will be examined using the sample proportion and corresponding 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after surgery

  2. Incidence of adverse events evaluated using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tivozanib and therapeutic conventional surgery in people with Stage II Renal Cell Cancer and Stage III Renal Cell Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

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 13 inclusion and 20 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2022. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Feasibility of conducting a trial of tivozanib in terms of patients completing 2 courses of tivozanib (time frame: Up to 30 days after surgery). 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 15 Aug 2022.
