About this study

Official title: Randomized ph. II Study to Explore Efficacy and Feasibility of Upfront Rotations Between SUNitinib and Everolimus vs Sequential Treatment of 1st lIne Sunitinib & 2nd Line EverolimuS Until Progression in Pats Met. Clear Cell Renal Cancer

The objective of this study is to assess the progression-free survival, of patients who receive rotations of sunitinib and everolimus versus patients who receive sunitinib as a first line treatment followed by everolimus when progression occurs.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, randomized phase II study to investigate the feasibility of alternating cycles of treatment with sunitinib and everolimus compared to sequential treatment of sunitinib followed by everolimus.

The study population consists of adult patients (over 18 years old) with clear cell mRCC (Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer) who have not received prior therapy for their metastatic disease.

The purpose of the study is to determine the progression free survival, feasibility and safety profile of the experimental arm compared to standard of care.

In the experimental arm alternating treatment will consist of repeating cycles of 24 weeks of treatment consisting of 12 weeks of sunitinib 4weeks on 2 weeks off, 50 mg pd followed by 12 weeks of everolimus 10 mg per day 11 weeks on 1 week off in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cancer. The comparative arm will be the standard regimen of sunitinib (50 mg pd 4/2) until progression, followed thereafter by everolimus (10 mg per day continuously, 11/1) until progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS) rate 1 year

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. PFS of rotational arm versus PFS of the 2 lines in control arm

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression assesed up to 30 months

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured: From the date of the tratment start to the date of death or the last contact for alived patients at the momment of data censored. Assesed up to 30 months

  3. Safety Profile

    Measured: From the first treatment dose until 28 days after study treatment discontinuation. Assesed up to 30 months

  4. Objective tumor response rate per arm

    Measured: From the date of first tumor response to the date of progression or start date of other cancer therapy. Assesed up to 30 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib and Everolimus in people with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Associació per a la Recerca Oncologica, Spain at 10 sites in 3 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 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Spain, France, Greece. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of recruitment). 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?

Progression-free survival (PFS) rate 1 year (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01784978, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Oct 2017.
