About this study

Official title: Optimizing Pazopanib Exposure in RCC Patients Through Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Followed by Intrapatient Dose Escalation

Optimization of Pazopanib Exposition in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma by Therapeutic Drug Monitoring followed by Individual Dose Escalation.

Read the detailed description

This is an open, multi-center, intraindividual dose-optimization study. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma receive 800 mg Pazopanib daily. After 14 days the Pazopanib plasma concentration is determined. In patients who show good tolerability and plasma trough levels of ≤ 20 µg/mLthe daily dose is increased in 200 mg steps until plasma trough levels of > 20 µg/mL are achieved or dose-limiting toxicities occur, a daily dose of 1600 mg is reached, or there is disease progression.

After each dose optimization the plasma concentration is determined after 14 days (day 11-15). If indicated, dose optimization is performed 21 days after the previous dose optimization (on day 18-24).

Normal plasma level patients and low plasma level patients.Experimental1. Patients with normal Pazopanib plasma trough levels; "normal plasma level patients" (NPLP). 2. Patients with low Pazopanib plasma trough levels, "low plasma level patients" (LPLP).
Receives: Drug: Pazopanib

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine if in patients with a Pazopanib plasma trough level of ≤ 20 μg/mL a plasma trough level of > 20 ≤g/mL can be achieved by dose escalation.

    Measured: 14 days after each dose optimization.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Comparison of tumor response of patients with normal and low Pazopanib plasma trough levels.

    Comparison of patients with normal Pazopanib plasma trough levels ("normal plasma level patients; NPLP) with patients with low Pazopanib plasma trough levels ("Low plasma level patients"; LPLP) with regard to the therapeutic result.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  2. Objective remission rate.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  3. Progression free survival.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  4. Overall survival.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  5. Comparison of LPLP in whom the plasma trough level could be optimized successfully and LPLP in whom the plasma trough level could not be optimized with regard to above parameters.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  6. Correlation of plasma trough levels and side effects, especially high blood pressure.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  7. Correlation of the occurrence of high blood pressure with oncological result (response rate).

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  8. Recording of demographic data, compliance, concomitant medication, and correlation with plasma trough levels (LPLP / NPLP).

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

  9. Examination of life quality.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pazopanib in people with Locally Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma and Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Interessenverband zur Qualitätssicherung der Arbeit niedergelassener Uro-Onkologen in Deutschland e. at 3 sites in Germany.

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 30 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 18 Aug 2017. 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 Germany. 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: Early termination due to 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?

Determine if in patients with a Pazopanib plasma trough level of ≤ 20 μg/mL a plasma trough level of > 20 ≤g/mL can be achieved by dose escalation. (time frame: 14 days after each dose optimization.). 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 18 Aug 2017.
