NCT ID: NCT00425386

Last Updated: 2017-05-03

Results Overview

The MTD is defined as the dose that produces dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in 33% of the patients.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE2

Target enrollment

60 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Participants assessed for DLTs weekly during the first cycle of treatment and every 3 weeks in subsequent cycles until at least one DLT occurs in 33% or more of participants at that dose; participants assessed for the duration of the study, up to 7 years

Participant Flow

The discrepancy between the number of participants enrolled (60) and the number of participants Started in the Participant Flow module (46) is due to screen failures and consent withdrawals.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 months after initiating treatment with sunitinib in combination with erlotinib in patients with metastatic or unresectable clear cell or papillary carcinoma of the kidney

Defined as the proportion of patients who are progression free (CR, PR and SD) at 8 months after initiating treatment with sunitinib in combination with erlotinib in patients with metastatic or unresectable clear cell or papillary carcinoma of the kidney. Complete Response (CR)= disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR)= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and Stable Disease (SD)= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (20% increase in the sum).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through end of study, up to 7 years

The maximum percent change in Tumor Measurement is the greatest percent change in longest diameter (LD) for the target lesions from the baseline LD. For patients with no change in LD, the maximum percent change is the lowest increase in LD from the baseline LD.
