Study of Neoadjuvant Nivolumab in Patients With Non-metastatic Stage II-IV Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02575222
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the use of nivolumab before surgery in patients with high-risk clear cell renal cell carcinoma who are eligible for nephrectomy. Nivolumab is an antibody that may help activate the immune system by blocking the function of an inhibitory molecule, Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety as assessed by number of participants experiencing adverse eventsFrom the first dose of nivolumab treatment through 100 days post-surgery

Number of participants experiencing any adverse event as defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective Tumor Response Rate (by irRC)Assessed at baseline, prior to surgery, and 3 months after surgery

Number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by immune-related response criteria (irRC)

Metastasis-Free Survival12 months post-operatively, then every 6 months for 5 years

Number of months without evidence of metastasis.

Objective Tumor Response Rate (by RECIST)Assessed at baseline, prior to surgery, and 3 months after surgery

Number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

Quality of Life as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index (FKSI) -15 questionnaireBaseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, prior to surgery, and at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months after surgery

Total score range 0-60 with higher scores indicating a less symptomatic respondent.

Overall Survival12 months post-operatively, then every 6 months for 5 years

Number of months alive.
