About this study

Official title: Everolimus (Afinitor) in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Following Progression on Prior Bevacizumab Treatment

An estimated 10,000 metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients receive first-line therapy in the Russian Federation. Bevacizumab (Avastin) in combination with interferon-alpha (IFN) is a recommended first-line treatment for metastatic RCC according to clinical recommendations of Russian Ministry of Health from 15.07.2010. Two randomized phase III trials (AVOREN, CALGB) showed that 50% of patients will progress on bevacizumab plus IFN within 8.5 - 10.2 months and will need sequential therapy.

Everolimus (Afinitor) is a single agent which was evaluated and demonstrated efficacy in randomized phase III study (RECORD-1) in metastatic RCC patients after failure of targeted therapy. However, in this trial everolimus was compared with placebo for the treatment of patients whose disease had progressed on treatment with sunitinib or sorafenib (n=227). Only 9% (n=24) of patients received bevacizumab. Thus, efficacy data of everolimus in patients with disease progression on first-line bevacizumab is limited.

Evaluating the effectiveness of everolimus in metastatic RCC patients with failure on bevacizumab with/without interferon alpha has a scientific and practical sense, and it is important for Russian Federation.

Read the detailed description

17563 new cases of renal cancer and 83790 associated deaths have recorded in the Russian Federation in 2008. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is responsible for 4,3% of all malignancies, with increased risk of disease after the age of 60 years. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 90% renal neoplasms, and in 85% of renal cell carcinoma cases light-cell morphology is diagnosed. Papillary, chromophobic cancer and cancer of the kidney collecting tubules.

30% patients with localized renal cell carcinoma are found to progress after surgical treatment. In the other 30% renal cell carcinoma is established at the dissemination stage. Therefore approximately 60% of renal cell carcinoma patients are estimated to have metastases.

According to estimations by Kidney Cancer Research Bureau, currently first line treatment is indicated to approximately 10,000 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma in Russia annually.

Until recently opportunities for systemic treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma were limited to administration of cytokines and clinical research investigating novel medications. Various combinations and doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-alpha (IFN) have been investigated in randomized studies in metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Immunotherapy was found to have only limited efficacy (overall response rate 15-16%, survival of 12 months). Therefore target medicines, specifically - tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors, are under development as first and subsequent lines of treatment.

According to standards of medical care established by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation as of July 15, 2010, combination of bevacizumab (Avastin™) and interferon is recommended as first line treatment. According to two randomized phase III trials (AVOREN, CALGB) more than half of patients are expected to require further treatment for disease progression in 8,5-10,2 months. Everolimus (Afinitor) is the only medicine that has been investigated in a phase III multicenter study (RECORD-1) as second and subsequent lines of treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma resistant to targeted agents. However, most patients (n=277) had received sunitinib or sorafenib prior to enrolment; only some of them (24 patients (9%) had received bevacizumab. Therefore currently convincing evidence of everolimus efficacy after progression on prior treatment with bevacizumab or bevacizumab + IFN is lacking.

Hence it is deemed reasonable and practically relevant to investigate everolimus efficacy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma previously treated on bevacizumab-containing regimens, in the Russian Federation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Everolimus in people with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Kidney Cancer Research Bureau at 3 sites in Russia.

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 6 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 6 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Russia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Primary endpoint is the proportion of progression-free patients for 2 months (based on results of a phase III study) (time frame: 2 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 NCT02056587, 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 6 Feb 2014.
