About this study

Official title: CLARA: Characterization of Somatic and Germline Mechanisms That Impact the Immunotherapy Treatment and Prognosis of Patients With Renal Cancer

The study is studying the joint contribution and interactions of germline variants and somatic mutations and their impact on Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) development and treatment (immunotherapy).

Read the detailed description

One hundred newly diagnosticated stage IV RCC patients will be recruited in the Ribeirao Preto Medical School.

Patients will be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) combination: nivolumab (3 mg/kg of body weight) plus ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) intravenously every three weeks for four doses, followed by nivolumab 480mg every four weeks, until progression, toxicity or complete two years of treatment.

Patients will be followed up for the clinical outcome (progression-free survival, best response, and overall survival).

Fresh-frozen primary tumor tissue will be collected for somatic genomic characterization.

Blood DNA will be genotyped for the identification of common germline variation, as well as ancestry determination.

What participants receive

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

  • NivolumabDrug

    Also called Opdivo

    Nivolumab is called an anti-PD-1 (Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1) or a checkpoint inhibitor and is an antibody (a type of human protein) designed to allow the body's own immune system to destroy tumors

  • IpilimumabDrug

    Also called Yervoy

    Ipilimumab is called an anti-CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) and is a type of antibody that works to prevent the body's immune system from stopping to fight a specific cancer

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in people with Renal Cancer Metastatic, run by Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2024. 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 Brazil. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 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 3 Jul 2024.
