About this study

Official title: Sorveglianza Attiva Dei Tumori Renali T1a Uguali o Inferiori a 2 cm

Prospective study of active surveillance, non-randomized, multicentric, in asymptomatic patients over the age of 50 years, not affected by other tumors, with occasional diagnosis of single monolateral solid renal mass equal to or less than 2 cm of diameter. Diagnosis will be performed with chest CT abdomen with contrast and / or MRI abdomen with Gadolinium (Gd); during the first year of active surveillance, the patient's status will be evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months from the diagnosis and, subsequently, according to the schedule of events shown in the table "Event Planning" At the end of the 5 years of follow up, the patient will be entrusted to his / her own treating physician, with indication to perform abdomen and chest x-ray echography every 6 months and thoracic abdomen TAC with contrast and / or MRI abdomen with (Gd) every 2 years up to 10 years from instrumental radiological diagnosis and registration and communication of the possible date of death and cause The primary caregivers and the patient will be contacted annually by the promoter center of the study at the end of the first 5 years of study follow up and the data will be entered in the database by the promoter center. The indication to surgical treatment or ablative treatment will be considered in the following cases: 1. appearance of metastasis 2. increase of the maximum diameter of the renal mass equal to or greater than 4 cm 3. time of doubling of the tumor mass size less than or equal to 12 months 4. appearance of symptoms associated with renal disease (pain, haematuria) 5. appearance of paraneoplastic syndrome (fever, cachexia, hypercalcemia, polycythemia, ranulocytosis) 6. willingness expressed by the patient to undergo surgery or ablative operation In the presence of at least one of the aforementioned criteria, the attending physician can evaluate the possible execution of renal biopsy. The finding of renal biopsy proved negative for neoplasia may allow the continuation of the active surveillance procedure undertaken, independently indi - ding from the presence of one of the above mentioned criteria. If the renal biopsy is negative, the therapeutic decision (continuation of the follow up within the protocol in question, surgery or exit from the protocol) will be agreed between the patient and the patient. In the case of a positive renal biopsy for renal neoplasia, the patient may be a candidate for renal tumorectomy / radical nephrectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of active surveillance for small renal masses

    Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of active surveillance in patients with diagnosis of small renal tumor masses equal to or less than 2 cm in diameter.

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Evaluate the proportion of patients who do not undergone active treatment

    Proportion of patients who do not perform tumorectomy , tumor ablation or nephrectomy on the number of eligible patients that have been monitored for 12 months or more or have undergone surgery within 12 months

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence and nature of disease progression during the period active surveillance

    Determine the incidence and nature of disease progression during the period of active surveillance; determine the annual growth rate of SRMs equal to or less than 2 cm of diameter; evaluate the appearance of symptoms associated with the disease (pain, haematuria) or syndrome paraneoplasty (fever, cachexia, hypercalcemia, polycythemia, granulocytosis); establish possible factors clinical, pathological and biological predictive of local or metastatic disease progression or that require surgery.

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Evaluation of disease progression

    The disease progression is defined as the growth of the maximum diameter of the renal mass equal to or more than 4 cm or doubling the tumor volume over a period of time ≤ 12 months. It is considered sign of progression also the vascular invasion, with the appearance of thrombosis of the renal vein or of the inferior vena cava;

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active Surveillance in people with Kidney Cancer, run by IRCCS San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Contact Cristina Carenzi (carenzi.cristina@hsr.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of active surveillance for small renal masses (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT03804320, which also lists 25 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.
