Perfusion CT Monitoring to Predict Treatment Efficacy in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Completed
Conditions
Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer
Registration Number
NCT01926990
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies perfusion computed tomography (CT) in predicting response to treatment in patients with advanced kidney cancer. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before, during, and after targeted therapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

NameTimeMethod
Characterization of the relationship between Change in blood flow measured through perfusion CT techniques and Change in tumor size measured through non-investigational CT12 weeks (+/- 5 days) after start of standard systemic targeted therapy medication
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Characterization of the relationship between change in perfusion CT measurements (eg. Mean transit time) and change in tumor size measured by non-investigational CT12 weeks (+/- 5 days) after start of standard systemic targeted therapy medication
Relationship between change in blood flow and tumor response measured on ordinal scale12 weeks (+/- 5 days) after start of standard systemic targeted therapy medication
