Trial summary

The overall aim of this observational study is to confirm that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma and or urine after intended curative treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can be applied in clinical practice as a marker of subclinical residual disease and risk of recurrence.

About this study

Official title: KIDNEY-PAGER: Analysis of Circulating Tumor DNA as a Biomarker in Renal Cancer

The overall aim of this observational study is to confirm that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma and or urine after intended curative treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can be applied in clinical practice as a marker of subclinical residual disease and risk of recurrence.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of the study is to confirm that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in plasma and or urine after intended curative treatment for RCC can be applied in clinical practice as a marker of subclinical residual disease and risk of recurrence.

1.1 Primary objectives

  1. To confirm that patients with high risk of recurrence can be identified with ctDNA profiling performed immediately after nephrectomy. Specifically, we aim to determine in patients with localized RCC (stages I-III) if the three-year disease-free survival is associated with detection of ctDNA in plasma immediately after surgery. 1.2 Secondary objectives
  2. To show that detection of ctDNA pre- and post-operatively can be applied as a risk stratification tool.
  3. To validate the potential of a ctDNA-guided follow-up program as compared to the current CT-scan follow-up program. More specifically, to investigate the correlation between ctDNA and CT-scanning findings. The potential is that ctDNA analysis predicts the CT-scan result and can be used to guide when to perform a CT-scan. Potentially, it also adds evidence for the results of CT-scans performed subsequently to an uncertain CT-scan result.
  4. To investigate if time to Molecular recurrence using serial ctDNA analysis of longitudinally collected blood samples is shorter than time to Clinical recurrence using standard-of-care radiological imaging surveillance.
  5. To find and validate predictive blood- and or tissue-based biomarkers for immunotherapy and or targeted therapies with the aim to identify patients that are more likely to respond to the given therapy administered.
  6. To confirm that changes in ctDNA levels reflect the therapeutic effect of the given therapy, such as immunotherapy and or targeted therapies.
  7. To delineate markers of tumor aggressiveness and compare to ctDNA measurements

2 INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN

2.1 Overall study design

This study is based on a comprehensive series of blood sampling prospectively and ctDNA analysis performed in RCC patients before and after surgery, during and after treatment, and during surveillance. Patients are followed 5 years from date of surgery.

  • Urine, blood sampling and ctDNA analysis pre-operative and immediately after surgery (a postoperative blood sample is drawn on day 14)
  • Sampling of tissue from the biopsy and resected specimen as well as adjacent normal.
  • Longitudinal blood and urine sampling over a 5-year surveillance period - a blood and urine sample will be drawn simultaneously with the standard-of-care CT-scan-based surveillance program, and from metastatic tissue if a relapse occurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. ctDNA can identify high risk patients

    ctDNA will be determined and levels will be measured, and correlated to relapse status, progression free survival, treatment response and overall survival

    Measured: baseline, 1 year, 2 year and 3 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cancer, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2023. 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 Denmark. 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?

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?

ctDNA can identify high risk patients (time frame: baseline, 1 year, 2 year and 3 year). 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 22 Nov 2023.
