About this study

Official title: Study of the Predictive Impact of MMP2 and MMP9 Levels for Patients With Metastatic Kidney Cancer Treated With Anti-angiogenic Agents Compared to Patients Not Treated With Antiangiogenic (Localized Kidney Cancer and Oligometastatic)

Prospective research of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9 as predictive biomarkers in metastatic kidney cancer patients treated with 2 anti angiogenic agents (Sunitinib or Pazopanib).

Read the detailed description

The objective is to analyze the predictive impact of circulating MMP2 and MMP9 on the progression-free survival of patients with metastatic kidney cancer treated with anti-angiogenic agents (Sunitinib or Pazopanib) in comparison with two untreated cohorts (localized or oligometastatic cancer).

Prospective monocenter, open-label study

In the frame of disease management blood samples will be collected at different times of follow-up regarding disease status (localized, oligometastatic and metastatic) and tissue samples will be collected for patients scheduled for surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood and tumor samples in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 4 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2026. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Plasma level of the MMP2 and MMP9 markers (time frame: at initial sampling). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03185039, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 14 Oct 2026.
