Trial summary

The goal of this trial is to test whether patients with stage III papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) could benefit from adjuvant therapy or not. The investigators invented a multi-classifier system that was successfully categorise patients with stage III pRCC into high-risk and low-risk groups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open, Prospective Study of Prognostic Value and Benefit From Adjuvant Immunotherapy of Stage III Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Based on Multi-classifier System

The goal of this trial is to test whether patients with stage III papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) could benefit from adjuvant therapy or not. The investigators invented a multi-classifier system that was successfully categorise patients with stage III pRCC into high-risk and low-risk groups. Here the investigators randomly assign classifier-defined high risk patients of stage III pRCC into adjuvant pembrolizumab group placebo group. Disease-free survival and overall survival are the end points of observation.

Read the detailed description

kidney cancer represented 4.2% of all new cancer cases, and its incidence has been increasing. Over 90% of kidney cancer cases are renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which includes various subtypes with distinct histologic features, clinical courses, and responses to therapy. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) are the most common histologic subtypes of RCC, accounting for approximately 75% and 20% of all cases, respectively. Adjuvant pembrolizumab showed promising efficacy in ccRCC, however, whether high-risk pRCC patients could benefit from adjuvant pembrolizumab remain unknown.

Participants will be assigned to continue with the study treatment until any of the following occurs: the recurrence of the disease; the emergence of unacceptable adverse events (AEs); the presence of an intercurrent illness that precludes further administration of the treatment; the decision of the Investigator to withdraw the participant; noncompliance with the study treatment or procedural mandates; administrative reasons necessitating the discontinuation of treatment; or the completion of 17 treatment cycles (approximately one year), with each cycle 3 weeks long.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival

    Disease free survival (DFS) was defined as the time interval (in years) from the date of randomization to the first date of recurrence or occurrence of a secondary malignancy or death.

    Measured: From the date of registration to up to 7 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: From the date of registration to up to 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pembrolizumab in people with Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University.

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 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Jun-Hang Luo, M.D. (+862087755766, luojunh@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease-free survival (time frame: From the date of registration to up to 7 years). 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 29 Nov 2023.
