Trial summary

RATIONALE: Sorafenib 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.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Sorafenib in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Refractory to SU11248 or Bevacizumab Therapy

RATIONALE: Sorafenib 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.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer that has not responded to sunitinib or bevacizumab.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the tumor burden reduction rate in patients with sunitinib malate- or bevacizumab-refractory, metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma treated with sorafenib tosylate.

Secondary

  • To determine the safety of sorafenib tosylate in these patients.
  • To record the duration of tumor reduction, time to disease progression, and overall survival of patients treated with sorafenib tosylate.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral sorafenib tosylate twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What participants receive

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

  • sorafenib tosylateDrug

    Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor targeting both tumor cells and the tumor vasculature. Patients with metastatic RCC meeting eligibility criteria will receive 400 mg BID of sorafenib in a single-arm phase II study. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis.

SorafenibExperimentalChemotherapy single agent systemic. Sorafenib given up to 600mg orally every 12 hours for up to 10 months (40 weeks).
Receives: Drug: sorafenib tosylate

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Burden Reduction Rate (TBRR)

    The primary endpoint of the study is defined as the percentage of patients who experience larger than or equal to 5% reduction in tumor burden as measured by RECIST-defined target lesions without progression of non-target lesions or the appearance of any new lesions, confirmed at least 4 weeks after first documentation. RECIST criteria will be used for the purpose of designating target lesions, calculating total tumor burden (the sum of the unidimensional measurement of target lesions) and defining disease progression.Additional RECIST-defined partial or complete responses will be recorded.

    Measured: at 8 weeks (2cycles of treatment)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival measured in months and summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method. This will be calculated from the date of registration on-study to the dates of documented evidence of progression and death, respectively.

    Measured: followed until progression or death for approximately 3 years

  2. Time to Progression

    Time to objective progression will be measured from the start of treatment until the criteria for RECIST-defined progression are met, taking as reference the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started, including baseline.

    Progression-free survival measured in months and summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: followed to progression for approximately 3 years

  3. Duration of Overall Response (Tumor Burden Reduction)

    Measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.

    Measured: followed for overall response for approximately 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sorafenib tosylate in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 23 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 1 Feb 2012). 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?

Tumor Burden Reduction Rate (TBRR) (time frame: at 8 weeks (2cycles of treatment)). 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 23 Jul 2014.
