  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • AJCC stage IV or locally advanced (or inoperable) renal cell carcinoma for which archival tissue is available
  • No prior anti-angiogenic therapy
  • Prior radiation therapy to a symptomatic site of disease is allowed
  • ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2

  • Patients must not have a serious intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring parenteral antibiotics, clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, myocardial infarction, unstable angina), New York heart association grade II or greater congestive heart failure, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication
  • Patients must not have a serious intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, grade II or greater peripheral vascular disease within 1 year prior to study entry, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Patients must not be taking cytochrome P450 enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine or phenobarbital), rifampin or St. John's wort
  • Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding
  • All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 2 weeks prior to registration to rule out pregnancy
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal, barrier method of birth control, or abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation

About this study

Official title: An Imaging and Histopathologic Study to Predict Response to Sunitinib Therapy in Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Rationale: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

Purpose: This clinical trial is studying MRI in predicting response to sunitinib malate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives:

  1. To correlate tumor vascular permeability by DCE-MRI with clinical outcome for patients treated with sunitinib (PFS).

II. To correlate genetic and histologic characteristics of the primary tumor with vascular permeability by DCE-MRI.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To correlate genetic and histologic characteristics of the primary tumor with clinical outcome for patients treated with sunitinib.

II. Samples will be collected for potential future exploratory analyses of pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomic parameters.

Outline: Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI at baseline and after the first 4 weeks of sunitinib malate.

Being tested
mutation analysis, pharmacological study, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, sunitinib malate, immunohistochemistry staining method
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

  2. Correlation of tumor vascular permeability as measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI with clinical outcome and with tumor angiogenesis as measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tumor regression as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cell Carcinoma and Stage III Renal Cell Cancer, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 22 inclusion and 0 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 25 Jun 2019. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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. 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 25 Jun 2019.
