About this study

Official title: A Single-arm, Multicenter, Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Lenvatinib in Combination With Everolimus in Subjects With Unresectable Advanced or Metastatic Non Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (nccRCC) Who Have Not Received Any Chemotherapy for Advanced Disease

This is a single-arm, multicenter, Phase 2 study of lenvatinib in combination with everolimus in participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic non clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) who have not received any chemotherapy for advanced disease. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR). This study consists of three phases: a Pretreatment Phase (Screening and Baseline Periods), a Treatment Phase (starting Cycle 1, Day 1), and a Posttreatment Phase (End of Treatment Visit and survival Follow-up).

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02915783
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
lenvatinib 18 mg/day and everolimus 5 mg/dayExperimentalParticipants will receive initial doses of lenvatinib 18 milligrams per day (mg/day) (one 10-mg capsule and two 4-mg capsules) and everolimus 5 mg/day (5-mg tablets). Capsules and tablets are to be taken orally in immediate succession once a day (QD), and dosing is recommended to occur at approximately the same time each morning (consistently either with or without food).
Receives: Drug: lenvatinib; Drug: everolimus

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was assessed by the investigator based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions (non-lymph nodes). All pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in their short axis to less than (<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of the first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 3 years 9 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1, defined as time from date of first dose of study drug to date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death whichever occurred first. PD: greater than or equal to (>=) 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, reference-smallest sum recorded in study (sum at baseline if that was smallest). Sum of diameters must have absolute increase of >=5 mm. Appearance of >=1 new lesions also considered PD. PFS was analyzed using Kaplan Meier method. PFS was censored on date of last adequate radiologic assessment prior to new anticancer therapy, more than one missed visits, treatment discontinuation, and cutoff date when no PD or death occurred before any of these (on first dose of study treatment if no adequate post baseline tumor assessment was available), per publication by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 'Guidance for Industry Clinical Trial Endpoints for the Approval of Cancer Drugs and Biologics (2007).

    Measured: From the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of the first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 3 years 9 months)

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of the first dose of study drug until the date of death from any cause. OS was analyzed using Kaplan Meier method. In the absence of death before data cutoff, participants were censored either at the date last known to be alive or the date of data cutoff, whichever came earlier. Participants were followed for survival every 12 weeks after the end of treatment visit. If a clinic visit was not feasible, follow-up information was obtained via telephone or email.

    Measured: From the date of the first dose of study drug until the date of death from any cause (up to approximately 4 years 8 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing lenvatinib and everolimus in people with Non Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (nccRCC), run by Eisai Inc. at 8 sites in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 28 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 17 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. 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 13 Jul 2020). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: From the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of the first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 3 years 9 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 NCT02915783, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Jan 2023.
