About this study

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of the chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine, capecitabine, and bevacizumab has on a patient and kidney cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Per RECIST Criteria (V1.0) using standard cross-sectional CT scanning: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Response (R)= CR + PR.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Progression is defined as a measurable increase in the sum of longest diameters of all target lesions, or unequivocable progression of non-target lesions, or the appearance of new lesions, since baseline

    Measured: 60 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Time from enrollment until death from any cause.

    Measured: 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing combination of gemcitabine, capecitabine, and bevacizumab in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by University of Chicago 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 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 22 Dec 2011). 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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 11 Feb 2014.
