About this study

Official title: Study to Assess Bone Biomarkers for TKI Response in RCC Patients With Bone Metastasis and HRQoL in These Patients as Well as Comparing Whole Body MRI vs. Bone Scintigraphy and vs. CT in the Assessment of Metastatic Lesions

Prospective observational study to assess bone predictive biomarkers for TKI response in RCC patients with bone metastasis and HRQoL with TKI in these patients as well as the sensitivity and specificity of whole body magnetic resonance versus bone scintigraphy and versus CT in the assessment of metastatic lesions at bone level and at other sites.

Read the detailed description

Prospective observational study to assess:

  • Bone predictive biomarkers for tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) response in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with bone metastasis - Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) with TKI
  • Comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of whole body magnetic resonance versus bone scintigraphy and versus Computerized tomography (CT) in the assessment of metastatic lesions at bone level and at other sites.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02747173
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RCC patients with bone metastasesPatients will receive the standard TKI treatment for first line treatment naive metastatic RCC. Sunitinib or pazopanib as decided by the investigator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess bone biomarkers in response to TKI

    Assess the predictive value to TKI of bone biomarkers (bone formation BAP, P1NP, OPG and osteocalcin, and bone resorption biomarkers CTX) in patients with RCC with bone metastases.

    Measured: Every 3 months until an average of 12 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Progression free survival

    Assess the efficacy of TKI in patients with RCC with bone metastases.

    Measured: An average of 12 months

  2. Objective response rate

    Assess the efficacy of TKI in patients with RCC with bone metastases.

    Measured: An average of 12 months

  3. Measurements in time of bone metastases in RCC using whole body magnetic resonance and bone scintigraphy

    Comparison of the sensibility and specificity of whole body magnetic resonance and bone scintigraphy in the detection of metastases and response assessment of bone metastases in RCC

    Measured: Every 3 months until an average of 12 months

  4. Change and correlation of magnetic resonance and CT results in the assessment of global disease response to TKI. Using RECIST and MASS criteria

    Compare globally the magnetic resonance and CT results in the assessment of disease response to TKI using RECIST and MASS criteria

    Measured: Every 3 months until an average of 12 months

  5. Quality of life of patients with RCC and bone metastases throughout the study period using the FSI-15

    Assess the quality of life of patients with RCC and bone metastases using the 15 item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index (FKSI-15)

    Measured: Every 3 months until an average of 12 months

  6. Quality of life of patients with RCC and bone metastases throughout the study period using FACT-BP

    Assess the quality of life of patients with RCC and bone metastases using the FACT-BP questionnaire

    Measured: Every 3 months until an average of 12 months

  7. Efficacy of TKI in the improvement of pain produced by bone metastases throughout the study period

    Assess the efficacy of TKI in the improvement of pain produced by bone metastases assessing the use of analgesics.

    Measured: every week until an average of 12 months

  8. Efficacy of TKI in the improvement of pain produced by bone metastases throughout the study period using the NPR scale

    Assess the efficacy of TKI in the improvement of pain produced by bone metastases using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale

    Measured: every week until an average of 12 months

  9. Assessment osteonecrosis of the jaw with use of biphosphonates or denosumab throughout the study period

    Risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw with use of biphosphonates or denosumab

    Measured: every week until an average of 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Spanish Oncology Genito-Urinary Group at 12 sites in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 26 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Assess bone biomarkers in response to TKI (time frame: Every 3 months until an average of 12 months). 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 26 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
