About this study
Official title: An Open-label Study to Assess the Effect of First-line Treatment With Avastin in Combination With Standard Therapy on Progression-free Survival in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Avastin in combination with interferon alfa-2a and vinblastine as first line treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer. Patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg iv) every 3 weeks, interferon alfa-2a 3 times weekly (3 Mio IU sc escalating to 18 Mio sc) and vinblastine (0.1mg/kg iv) every 3 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is until tumor progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death
Disease progression was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) using computed tomography (CT) scans (preferred method), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, X-ray, bone scans, or clinical examination.
Measured: Days 0, 91, 182, 273, 365, 456, and 547
PFS - Time to Event
PFS was defined as the time in days from the date of treatment start to the date of first documented disease progression or death. Disease progression was evaluated according to RECIST using CT scans (preferred method), MRI scans, X-ray, bone scans, or clinical examination. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method
Measured: Days 0, 91, 182, 273, 365, 456, and 547
Secondary outcomes (2)
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR)
Percentage of participants with OR based on assessment of confirmed complete remission (CR) or confirmed partial remission (PR) according to RECIST.
Measured: Baseline and Cycles 3, 6, 9, 13, and 17
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the duration from treatment start to death from any cause. Overall survival was censored at the last contact for surviving participants and missing data points.
Measured: Baseline, Day 1 of every cycle to disease progression or death (up to Week 102)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab [Avastin], Interferon alfa-2a and Vinblastine in people with Renal Cell Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 16 sites in Germany.
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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 16 sites in Germany. 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 13 Oct 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?
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death (time frame: Days 0, 91, 182, 273, 365, 456, and 547). 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?
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 13 Oct 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
