Select Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Documented histological or cytological diagnosis of renal cell cancer with a clear-cell component.
  2. Measurable disease as determined by the investigator.
  3. Must have received at least one VEGFR-targeting TKI (eg, sorafenib, sunitinib, axitinib, pazopanib or tivozanib).
  4. Recovery from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy.
  5. Adequate organ and marrow function.
  6. Sexually active fertile subjects(male and female)must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment.
  7. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening.

Select Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment with everolimus, or any other specific or selective TORC1/PI3K/AKT inhibitor (eg, temsirolimus), or cabozantinib.
  2. Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks before randomization.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Controlled Study of Cabozantinib (XL184) vs Everolimus in Subjects With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma That Has Progressed After Prior VEGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Cabozantinib (XL184) compared with Everolimus (Afinitor) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in subjects with advanced renal cell cancer that has progressed after prior VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

Being tested
Cabozantinib tablets, Everolimus (Afinitor) tablets
Keywords
renal cell cancer, kidney, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), tyrosine kinase inhibitor, hepatocyte growth factor receptor protein (MET), von Hippel-Lindau gene
Medical subject headings

Receives: Drug: Everolimus (Afinitor) tablets

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    The primary analysis of PFS is the time from randomization to date of first documented tumor progression as determined by investigator (per RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to estimate the median duration.

    Measured: PFS is measured from the date of randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause as determined by the Independent Radiology Committee (IRC) per RECIST 1.1, assessed for up to 17 months.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. Participants that had not died were censored at last known date alive. Median OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Interim analyses for OS occurred after 320 deaths (78% of the total OS events needed for final analysis).

    Measured: OS was measured from the time of randomization until 320 deaths, approximately 28 months

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is the number of participants with a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by number of randomized participants. ORR was assessed by the Independent Radiology Committee (IRC) per RECIST 1.1 which was confirmed by a subsequent visit >= 28 days later, and was analyzed in the Intent to Treat (ITT) population at the time of the primary analysis of Progression Free Survival (PFS). The data cutoff date was 22 May 2015.

    Measured: ORR was assessed at 8 weeks post-randomization, every 8 weeks for 12 months, and every 12 weeks until date of disease progression or death, up to May 2015 (approximately 21 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cabozantinib tablets and Everolimus (Afinitor) tablets in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Exelixis at 205 sites in 26 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 27 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 205 sites in United States, Germany, Australia, Canada, Spain and 21 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 18 Jul 2017). 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: PFS is measured from the date of randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause as determined by the Independent Radiology Committee (IRC) per RECIST 1.1, assessed for up to 17 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01865747, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 27 Apr 2021.
