Trial summary

RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Neoadjuvant SUNITINIB MALATE (Sunitinib) in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Nephrectomy

RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of giving sunitinib before surgery and to see how well it works in treating patients with localized or metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of sunitinib malate in patients with localized or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
  • Determine the safety of surgery after 90 days of treatment with sunitinib malate in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine response of these patients after 90 days of treatment with sunitinib malate.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-90 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo radical nephrectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of Sunitinib Malate (SM)

    Incident Rate: The proportion of the population who experience a grade 3 or higher endpoint-relevant toxic event within 3 months of the beginning of treatment.

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Safety of Surgery After 90 Days of Treatment With SM

    Incident Rate: Intraoperative Complication Rate

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response Rate After 90 Days of Treatment With SM

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sunitinib malate, neoadjuvant therapy and therapeutic conventional surgery in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 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?

Safety of Sunitinib Malate (SM) (time frame: 90 days). 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 6 Feb 2015.
