Trial summary

This study is designed to explore the molecular modulatory effect of Sunitinib when given in a neoadjuvant setting prior to radical or partial nephrectomy. The study will evaluate aforementioned outcomes in 30 patients at a dose of 50mg/day for 4 weeks followed by surgery 2-4 weeks following the last dose. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II, Open Label, Single Center Study of Sunitinib in Subjects With High Risk Renal Cell Carcinoma

This study is designed to explore the molecular modulatory effect of Sunitinib when given in a neoadjuvant setting prior to radical or partial nephrectomy. The study will evaluate aforementioned outcomes in 30 patients at a dose of 50mg/day for 4 weeks followed by surgery 2-4 weeks following the last dose.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • SunitinibDrug

    Also called Sutent

    50mg/day for 4 weeks

  • Tumor biopsyOther

    Conducted prior to administration of sunitinib therapy

  • NephrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Nephrectomy 2-4 weeks after last dose of Sunitinib

  • BiomarkersOther

    Biomarker evaluation of blood prior to treatment, after 4 weeks of Sunitinib administration, and every three months for a year after surgery.

    Biomarker evaluation of tissue prior to 4 week administration of Sunitinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to clinical recurrence after surgery for high risk localized disease.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Toxicity of Sunitinib when administered as neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgery

    Toxicities will be graded using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria, version 3.0

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Effect of Sunitinib on pretreatment serum levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Tissue levels (biopsy and pathological specimen) of total VEGF, HIF-alpha, microvessel density, and apoptotic indices (TUNNEL Staining)

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Radiographically quantifiable evaluation of changes in cellular disorganization (marker of necrosis) and perfusion parameters before and during the administration of Sunitinib.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib, Tumor biopsy and Nephrectomy in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 7 inclusion and 23 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time to clinical recurrence after surgery for high risk localized disease. (time frame: 1 year). 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 31 Jul 2012.
