A Phase II Trila of Sunitinib Schedule 4/2 vs. Shedule 2/1 as First Line Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

February 27, 2016 updated by: Jun Guo, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute

A Randomized Phase II Trila of Sunitinib Four-weeks on/Two-weeks Off Versus Two-weeks on/One-week Off as First Line Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Sunitinib given at 50 mg/day on schedule 4/2 (4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off) is the standard care for first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, but the schedule was reported with a high rate of dose reduction and dose discontinuation because of the safety profile. So investigators conducte this randomized, multi-center phase II study to determine whether a sunitinib regimen of 50 mg/day 2-weeks on/1-week off could provide the same efficacy in terms of progression-free survival, objective response, and overall survival, while reducing drug-related toxicity.

Detailed Description

Sunitinib given at 50 mg/day on schedule 4/2 (4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off) is the standard care for first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, but the schedule was reported with a high rate of dose reduction and dose discontinuation because of the safety profile. Sunitinib 50mg/day on schedule 2/1 (2 weeks on treatment, 1 weeks off) was reported to be associated with significantly decrease toxicities in patients who initially experienced grade 3 or greater toxicity on the schedule 4/2 and could extend treatment duration considerably. Through this research, we would like to explore whether the schedule 2/1 of sunitinib 50 mg/day as first line therapy could provide the same efficacy as standard schedule 4/2 in terms of progression-free survival, objective response, and overall survival, while reducing drug-related toxicity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
