Summary

This prospective single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunitinib given on an individualized dosing schedule as first-line therapy in subjects with metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer. The treatment schedule intent is to maximize dose intensity of sunitinib and minimize time off therapy based on individual tolerability using protocol directed dose modification criteria. A total of 110 subjects will be enrolled. All subjects will continue to receive study treatment until disease progression or withdrawal of consent. The primary outcome for this study is progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the duration from the date a patient first receives Sunitinib until the date of death or confirmed progression according to the RECIST criteria.

Detailed description

This is a single-arm, single-stage phase II study investigating the use of an individualized dosing regimen of Sunitinib on patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The intent is to maximize dose intensity of sunitinib and minimize time off therapy based on individual tolerability using protocol directed dose modification criteria. Dose and schedule changes are done if toxicity (hematological, fatigue, skin, GI) is \> grade 2. There will be no dosing or schedule changes for hypertension, hypothyroidism, skin color changes, heartburn, etc. unless clinically indicated. Subjects will continue therapy until progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. All subjects will be followed for progression free survival until progression but after 2 years on therapy, only grade 3/4 drug related adverse events will be recorded. Fact-G and FKSI-DRS will be used to evaluate PRO/QOL at baseline and every 2 months timepoints. A more detailed pharmacokinetic blood sampling will be done in a subset of patients in an effort to understand if Sunitinib blood concentration has a tendency to go down during treatment, as has been shown to be the case for Sorafenib. Biomarker and genomics blood sampling for correlation with progression free survival, toxicity and pharmacokinetics will be collected at baseline and stored.

Conditions

• Clear Cell, Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Sunitinib	The starting dose will be 50 mg Sunitinib on the 28/14 schedule. In patients that develop ≥ grade-2 toxicity after 2 weeks, therapy will be held for 7 days or resolution before continuing therapy according to the 1st dose/schedule change. In patients that do not develop ≥ grade-2 toxicity, therapy will continue for 1-2 weeks or until ≥ grade-2 toxicity. In patients that develop \> grade-2 toxicity after less than 4 weeks, therapy will be held for 7 days or before continued according to the 1st dose/schedule change. Patients that do develop grade-2 toxicity (but no more) on the 50 mg 28/14 schedule, will remain on schedule but the time off therapy will be reduced to 7 days if toxicity has resolved after a 7-day break. Patients that develop ≤ grade-1 toxicity on the 50 mg 28/14 schedule, will be dose escalated according to protocol.
