About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Arsenic Trioxide (NSC #706363) in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the efficacy of arsenic trioxide in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer. II. Determine the safety of this regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours daily for 5 days. Treatment continues every 4 weeks for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed for at least 1 month.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-19 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing arsenic trioxide in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2013. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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.

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 19 Jun 2013.
