About this study

Official title: A-PREDICT: A Phase II Study Of Axitinib In Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer in Patients Unsuitable for Nephrectomy

A-PREDICT is a study of axitinib in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma unsuitable for nephrectomy (as judged by the treating clinician) to evaluate efficacy, safety, toxicity and changes in biomarkers during therapy. Axitinib will given twice daily by mouth according to tolerability of treatment, for as long as patients are deriving clinical benefit. Blood and tumour tissue samples will be taken prior to and during therapy to evaluate biomarkers of treatment response. The primary clinical objective of this study is to define the activity of axitinib given to patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma unsuitable for nephrectomy.

Read the detailed description

A-PREDICT is a single arm, single agent, open label, multicentre, phase II study of axitinib in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma of predominant clear cell histology and unsuitable for debulking nephrectomy (as judged by the treating clinician). Patients who have provided consent and have satisfied the eligibility criteria will be registered into the trial.

The starting dose of axitinib will be 5 mg twice daily by mouth, escalating to a maximum of 10mg twice daily by mouth according to tolerability of treatment, for as long as patients are deriving clinical benefit. Treatment will be paused for one week prior to percutaneous biopsy of the primary on day 1 week 9. Disease progression will be evaluated according to RECIST v1.1 criteria 8 weeks after commencing treatment, at 8 weekly intervals to 6 months and 3 monthly thereafter. Blood and tumour tissue samples will be taken prior to and during therapy to evaluate biomarkers of treatment response. Nephrectomy will be carried out on any patient who becomes suitable in the opinion of the treating clinician during the course of the trial. Where possible, tissue samples will be taken from resected specimens. Response to axitinib in marker lesions will be correlated with changes in biomarkers.

What participants receive

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

  • AxitinibDrug

    Also called AG-013736

    Axitinib treatment Axitinib is an oral VEGF-receptor inhibitor. Patients are prescribed a starting dose of 5mg twice daily, escalating to 10mg in absence of dose limiting toxicities.

    Patients should stop axitinib treatment one week prior to day 1 week 9 percutaneous research biopsy of the primary renal tumour and restart 2-3 days post biopsy.

    Doses should be taken approximately 12 hours apart and patients should be instructed to take their doses at approximately the same times each day.

    Dose adjustments, including dose increase or dose reduction, are permitted and should be based on clinical judgement and the guidelines provided in the protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom From Progression at 6 Months

    The proportion of study participants alive and progression free at 6 months (day 1 week 25 visit). Progression will be measured from the date of study entry (registration date) until the first date of either death or confirmed progressive disease according to RECIST v1.1 (https://recist.eortc.org/recist-1-1-2/). Patients alive and free from progression will be censored at the date of last follow-up. The proportion of patients progression free at 6 months will be reported with 95% confidence interval. In addition, progression free survival will be presented using the Kaplan Meier product limit method with median progression free survival reported. A blinded central review of CT scans will be conducted for verification purposes.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Best Overall Response

    Best overall response (one of Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD), or Progressive Disease (PD) throughout the treatment period according to RECIST v1.1 (https://recist.eortc.org/recist-1-1-2/).

    Measured: From registration, during treatment and up to 30 days after treatment discontinuation. Patients remain on treatment until disease progression assessed up to 106 months.

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) will be measured from the date of registration until first date of either death or confirmed progressive disease according to RECIST 1.1. Time to last follow-up will be used if patient has not progressed or died and PFS time for the patient will be considered censored. A Kaplan Meier graph and median survival time will be presented.

    Measured: From the date of registration until first date of either death or confirmed progressive disease from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 106 months.

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival will be measured from the date of registration until the date of death due to any cause. Time to last follow-up will be used if patient has not died and survival time for the patient will be considered censored.

    Measured: From the date of registration until the date of death due to any cause, up to 106 months.

  4. Safety and Toxicity of Axitinib (by NCI CTC Grading Version 4)

    Progression of the malignancy was not reported as a serious adverse event. Hospitalisation due to signs and symptoms of malignancy progression was not reported as a serious adverse event. Occurrences are counted as any subject reporting a particular AE at a visit where toxicity was assessed.

    Measured: Treatment duration (at least 4 weekly, and again at disease progression), up to 106 months.

  5. Number of Patients Who Become Suitable for Nephrectomy as a Consequence of Therapy With Axitinib

    The proportion of patients who undergo nephrectomy following registration as a result of treatment with axitinib will be reported with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Study duration (assessed by clinician over treatment duration), up to 106 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Axitinib in people with Clear-cell Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom at 11 sites in United Kingdom.

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 15 inclusion and 20 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 21 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United Kingdom. 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 21 Nov 2024). 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?

Freedom From Progression at 6 Months (time frame: 6 months). 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 21 Nov 2024.
