About this study

Background:

  • Papillary Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) is the second most common histologic subtype of kidney cancer, accounting for approximately 10-15% of cases
  • Type 1 papillary RCC occurs in both sporadic and hereditary forms, which are histologically identical. Non familial type 1 papillary RCC can present as both solitary renal tumors and as bilateral, multifocal disease
  • There are no standard agents of proven efficacy for patients with advanced papillary

RCC.

  • Patients with disease localized to the kidney are managed surgically while patients with advanced/unresectable disease are usually managed in the community with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway antagonists or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors.
  • Activating mutations of mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) were identified in the germline of affected hereditary papillary renal cancer (HPRC) patients, who have a predilection for the development of bilateral, multifocal type 1 papillary RCC. Somatic MET mutations have been found in a subset of patients with non-inherited, sporadic papillary renal carcinoma
  • The investigational agent Capmatinib (INC280) is a selective MET inhibitor lacking activity against the VEGF pathway
  • This is a proof-of-concept study using INC280 in patients with papillary RCC to test the idea that effectively blocking the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET pathway will lead to clinical activity in patients with papillary renal cell cancer

Objectives:

Primary Objective:

-To determine the overall response rate (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1) in patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma treated with single agent INC280

Eligibility:

  • Diagnosis of hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) or sporadic papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
  • Patients with bilateral multifocal disease can have tumors localized to the kidney or have metastatic disease
  • Patients with sporadic papillary RCC (but without multifocal disease) should have advanced disease that is considered unresectable
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2
  • Measurable disease
  • Adequate organ function
  • No active brain metastases
  • Prior therapy
  • No more than 3 prior lines of systemic therapy
  • Prior therapy with a MET inhibitor is allowed as long as the patient has not had progressive disease while receiving the agent

Design:

  • This is a phase 2 single center non-randomized trial.
  • The study will be conducted using a Simon 2 stage minimax design. Initially 13 evaluable subjects will be recruited. If there are no responses to therapy, the study will be terminated. If there is at least 1 response an additional 7 evaluable subjects will be accrued.
  • The two-stage minimax design is based on assuming an ineffective response rate of 5% and a targeted effective response rate of 25%. We also assume that the probability of accepting an ineffective treatment and the probability of rejecting an effective treatment are each 10%.
  • Subjects will be dosed orally at a starting dose of 600 mg twice daily.
  • The overall response rate (complete response + partial response) will be determined.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Response

    Response was measured by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions. Stable Disease (SD) is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

    Measured: From start of study until permanent treatment discontinuation (range 2 weeks-238 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. Progression was measured by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Progressive Disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions.

    Measured: Median 26.8 months

  2. Overall Survival

    OS is the time between the first day of treatment and day of death or last follow up calculated by Kaplan Meier analysis.

    Measured: Median 26.8 months

  3. Disease Control Rate (Partial and Complete Response Plus Stable Disease > 6 Months)

    Response was measured by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Stable Disease is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

    Measured: From start of study until permanent treatment discontinuation (range 2 weeks-238 weeks)

  4. Number of Grades 1-5 Adverse Events Related to Treatment

    Adverse events were assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0). Grade 1 is mild. Grade 2 is moderate. Grade 3 is severe. Grade 4 is life-threatening. Grade 5 is death related to adverse event.

    Measured: Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 94 months and 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing INC280 in people with Kidney Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 20 inclusion and 24 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 21 Mar 2023. 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 21 Mar 2023). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Response (time frame: From start of study until permanent treatment discontinuation (range 2 weeks-238 weeks)). 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 21 Mar 2023.
