Trial summary

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, may help measure a patient's response to treatment with drugs such as sunitinib malate, sorafenib tosylate, or bevacizumab, and allow doctors to plan better treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Early Assessment of Anti-Angiogenic Treatment Efficacy in Advanced Renal Cancer by Using Contrast-Enhanced Sonography

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, may help measure a patient's response to treatment with drugs such as sunitinib malate, sorafenib tosylate, or bevacizumab, and allow doctors to plan better treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying ultrasonography in assessing antiangiogenic treatment in patients with advanced kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine if contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) study of target metastasis from renal cancer leads to early assessment of pharmacodynamic effects of antiangiogenic treatment in patients with advanced renal cancer.

Secondary

  • To determine the association between functional changes of microvascularization and the target lesion by CEUS and the early objective response for this lesion indicated by the time to progression.
  • To determine the association between functional changes of microvascularization and the target lesion by CEUS and the early objective response for this lesion indicated by the global survey.
  • To determine the tolerance to antiangiogenic treatments in these patients.
  • To determine the relationship between functional changes of microvascularization and the target lesion and the objective response for the other lesions (RECIST criteria) in cases of other metastasis other than the target lesion.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) before and after stabilized sulphur hexafluoride microbubble-based contrast agent injection. CEUS is done within 8 days prior to, 30 days after the first administration, and after 3 months of receiving antiangiogenesis treatment (e.g., sunitinib malate, sorafenib tosylate, or bevacizumab). Patients also undergo computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate tumoral targets.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lesion size (main diameter)

  2. Arrival time within lesion

  3. Time-to-peak

  4. β parameter from enhancement curve

  5. Density of microvessels at peak enhancement

  6. Enhancement ratio between the lesion and the surrounding parenchyma at peak value

  7. Determination of necrotic and viable volume

  8. Tumoral response determined by RECIST criteria

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to progression

  2. Global survey

  3. Tolerance to antiangiogenic treatments

  4. Objective response for non-target lesions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing antiangiogenesis therapy, stabilized sulphur hexafluoride microbubble-based contrast agent and imaging biomarker analysis in people with Kidney Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2013. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lesion size (main diameter). The study lists 8 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 12 Aug 2013.
