Trial summary

RATIONALE: When irradiated donor lymphocytes are infused into the patient they may help the patient's immune system kill tumor cells.

About this study

Official title: Immunotherapy for Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

RATIONALE: When irradiated donor lymphocytes are infused into the patient they may help the patient's immune system kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving irradiated donor lymphocytes works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with HLA-partially matched related donor lymphocytes.
  • Determine the rate and kinetics of clinical/radiological response in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the rates of graft-vs-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive irradiated donor lymphocytes IV over 1 hour on day 0. Treatment repeats every 8-16 weeks for up to 6 donor lymphocyte infusions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood is collected periodically for research studies, including immunophenotypic analysis of cells and assay for cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer-cell activity against target cells.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 60 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    With regard to responses, this trial will use a two-stage Simon's design optimized to minimize the expected number of patients accrued into the study. The maximum sample size will be 35 subjects. 18 subjects will be accrued during stage 1. If there are 2 or fewer responses during this stage, the trial will be stopped early. If there are 3 or more responses during this stage, an additional 19 patients will be accrued for stage 2. If 6 or fewer responses (out of 35) are observed by the end of the trial, then no further investigation of this therapy is warranted.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate and Kinetics of Clinical/Radiological Response

  2. Rate of Graft-vs-host Disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response Rate (time frame: 5 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 6 Jan 2014.
