RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial Of Avastin (Bevacizumab) In Patients With Metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well bevacizumab works in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the progression-free survival when bevacizumab is administered to patients with unresectable and/or metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma.
  • To further evaluate the safety of bevacizumab in these patients.

Secondary

  • To examine, in a preliminary manner, the response rate to bevacizumab in these patients.
  • To collect and store blood and urine samples for future analysis.
  • To evaluate overall survival when bevacizumab is administered to these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) When Bevacizumab is Administered to Patients With Unresectable and/or Metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma.

    Progression was defined by using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Response Rate to Bevacizumab in This Population.

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response, Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response, >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease, 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions; Stable Disease, neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, no occurrence of progression disease for non-target lesions, and no new lesions.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety of Bevacizumab in This Population of Patients

    Grade 3 or higher toxicities according to CTCAE version 3.0

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Paul Monk 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 13 inclusion and 22 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 15 Jun 2015. 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 18 Feb 2015). 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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) When Bevacizumab is Administered to Patients With Unresectable and/or Metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma. (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 15 Jun 2015.
