About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Sunitinib in Metastatic Renal Cancer With Non-clear Cell Histology

Sunitinib is the registered treatment for first-line therapy of metastatic clear-cell carcinoma of the kidney.Data from the Expanded Access Study have shown activity also in non-clear cell renal cancer (NCCRC). The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the anti-tumor activity and safety of sunitinib as a first-line therapy in metastatic NCCRC patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, open label, multicenter phase II study to evaluate efficacy of Sunitinib (in advanced/metastatic renal cancer with non-clear cell histology (papillary or chromophobe).

Sunitinib will be administered orally at a dose of 50 mg once daily, in six weeks cycles consisting of 4 weeks on treatment followed by 2 weeks off.

Treatment with the study drug will continue until tumor progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The planned total sample size for this study is 55 patients. Approximately 10 study sites will be involved.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 23 Dec 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 Italy. 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?

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?

The antitumor activity in terms of progression free survival (time frame: two years). 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 Dec 2014.
