简要总结
This research study is a PHase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational combination of drugs to learn whether the combination of drugs works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is being studied. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved these drugs or combination of drugs for use in participants, including people with your type of cancer.
Tivozanib is an anti-angiogenesis medicine that fights cancer by cutting off a tumor's blood supply so that it does not get the blood and nutrients it needs to grow. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to slow the growth of cancer cells.
Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and several other cancers. It is not approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Previous research suggests combining gemcitabine with tivozanib may have some effectiveness in treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of tivozanib as a treatment for renal cell carcinoma. The purpose of this research study is to also determine if the combination of tivozanib and gemcitabine is effective in treating your type of cancer if your cancer becomes unresponsive or gets worse with tivozanib as treatment alone. The safety of the combination of tivozanib and gemcitabine will also wbe studied.
Another goal of this research study is to learn more about how tivozanib alone and the combination of tivozanib and gemcitabine may work to treat renal cell carcinoma. During the research study we will perform blood tests to measure the level of substances in the blood such as proteins (biomarkers) that may predict who will respond to treatment with tivozanib and gemcitabine.
详细描述
If you agree to participate in this study you will be asked to undergo some screening tests and procedures to confirm that you are eligible. Many of these tests and procedures are likely to be part of regular cancer care and may be done even if it turns out that you do not take part in this study. If you have had some of these tests and procedures recently, they may or may not need to be repeated. The screening process will include the following: medical history, physical examination, measurement of vital signs, performance status assessment, electrocardiogram (EKG), echocardiogram (ECHO), CT or MRI, routine blood tests, urine sample, blood pregnancy test. If these tests show that you are eligible to participate in the research study, you will begin the study treatment. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria, you will not be able to participate in this research study.
This study is broken into two segments. In the first segment, you will receive tivozanib alone. Every 28 days in this study is called a study "cycle". You will come to clinic once every 28 days (once a month), on 'day 1' of each 28 day cycle.
Tivozanib is a pill that you take by mouth. You will take it once per day, in the morning, with a glass of water, with or without food. You will take tivozanib days 1-21 (the first three weeks) of each 28 day treatment cycle. You will be given a Study Drug Administration Diary to keep a brief record of the date and time when you take your dose of tivozanib. The study staff will explain to you how to complete your diary. This will be reviewed during yur visits by your doctor or a member of the study staff. This diary will be collected at your visit at the end of each cycle, and a new one will be given to you at the start of the next cycle. You will also have a pre-dose research blood draw (approximately 8 teaspoons of blood will be drawn) prior to your first dose of tivozanib, and after your first cycle of tivozanib. Your samples will not have personal information about you (such as your name and address) on them.
On Day 1 of every cycle you will have: a medical history, physical exam, measurement of your vital signs, performance status assessment, routine blood tests to monitor your health, urine sample. Every other cycle (prior to cycle 3, 5, 7 etc). you will have a CT or MRI scan, EKG, ECHO.
If your cancer gets worse while receiving tivozanib alone you may be eligible to participate in segment 2 of the study and receive tivozanib in combination with gemcitabine. You will come to the clinic on days 1 and 8 of each 28 day cycle.
