Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The population concerned by the study consists in patients treated by percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency for renal tumor. The treated tumors have a diameter ≤ 4 cm characterized by computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Who may be able to join

  • Patient treated with percutaneous RFA
  • Patient with diagnosis of renal masses with a maximum of 3 masses treated during the ablation
  • The diameter of the tumor must be ≤ 40 mm, characterized by CT-scan or MRI
  • The histology of the tumor must be biopsy-proven or the patient must have previous surgical ablation of renal tumor (ipsi or contralateral)

Who cannot join

  • Patient treated by surgery or laparoscopy
  • Benign tumors
  • No histological diagnosis (no biopsy or no previous treated renal carcinoma)
  • Patient having secondary malignant sites, ganglions or visceral metastatic cells or endo-venous extend at the time of RFA
  • Patient having a diagnosis of primary or secondary extra-renal tumor location and not into remission
  • Patients treated with antiangiogenic drugs during the 6 months prior RFA.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment of Renal Tumors: Prospective Observational Study

Multi-institutional registry on a cohort of 310 patients with biopsy-proven renal cell carcinoma treated by Radiofrequency ablation. All patients will be included consecutively and retrospectively in all centers to obtain the required number of patient followed during 5 years.

Read the detailed description

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is actually used in elderly patients with small renal tumors (diameter ≤ 4 cm) and presenting a high risk of surgery (due to co-morbidity) and/or reduced renal function. RFA is a minimally invasive technique, considered as an alternative to surgery to limit morbidity and to preserve kidney function. The technique is well known and has proven his efficacy for the treatment of small tumors.

An enlargement of the indications of RFA to patient without contra-indication to surgery will depend on the efficacy of the technique.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the local efficacy of the ablation based on the technical success, and on the evaluation of local cancer recurrence over 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of local efficacy of RFA treatment

    Measured: 60 months after the RFA treatment (D0)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall success

    Measured: At 60 months after the RFA treatment (D0)

  2. No recurrence of RCC

    Measured: At 60 months after the RFA treatment (D0)

  3. Tolerance of the treatment

    Measured: At D0, 48 hours, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the RFA treatment (D0)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 8 sites in France.

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 4 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 28 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in France. 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 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?

Rate of local efficacy of RFA treatment (time frame: 60 months after the RFA treatment (D0)). 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 28 Apr 2023.
