Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether a lower dose of lenvatinib, in combination with everolimus, is just as effective as a higher dose of lenvatinib with everolimus, while also being safer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma who've had one prior VEGF-targeted treatment can join this trial. They must have a measurable lesion, good performance status, controlled blood pressure, and adequate organ function. Exclusions include more than one prior VEGF treatment, active malignancy in the last 24 months, recent cancer treatments or surgeries, CNS metastases without stable recovery, uncontrolled diabetes or heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two doses of lenvatinib (14 mg vs. 18 mg) combined with everolimus to see which dose has better efficacy and safety for kidney cancer patients. It's randomized and open-label; participants will be assigned by chance to receive either the lower or higher dose of lenvatinib.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include high blood pressure, fatigue, diarrhea, decreased appetite, weight loss and signs of liver dysfunction like jaundice. There may also be risks of abnormal bleeding or clotting disorders as well as potential gastrointestinal issues affecting drug absorption.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Lenvatinib 18 mg plus everolimus 5 mgExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive oral lenvatinib 18 mg QD plus oral everolimus 5 mg QD as the starting dose in Cycle 1 or later (cycle length =28 days) during randomization phase. After the data cutoff for the primary analysis, participants will receive study treatment as continuous 56-day cycles.
Group II: Lenvatinib 14 mg plus everolimus 5 mgExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive oral lenvatinib 14 mg once daily (QD) plus oral everolimus 5 mg QD as the starting dose for Cycle 1. If there are no intolerable Grade 2 or any >= Grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that require dose reduction in the first 28-day cycle (that is, the first 4 weeks of treatment), the lenvatinib dose will be escalated to 18 mg QD (plus everolimus 5 mg) beginning in Cycle 2 or later (cycle length equal to [=] 28 days) during randomization phase. After the data cutoff for the primary analysis, participants will receive study treatment as continuous 56-day cycles.

Answered by AI

In what states are this clinical trial's sites located?

"This research project is being carried out at 15 different medical sites. These include Innovative Clinical Research Institute, LLC in Whittier, Baptist Health Medical Group Oncology, LLC - US Oncology in Miami and Optimal Research in Honolulu , as well as a dozen other locations."

Answered by AI

Is there currently a recruitment process for this research endeavor?

"Clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this particular trial is no longer recruiting participants, as it was initially posted on August 17th 2017 and last updated October 12th 2022. Nevertheless, there are 2818 other studies currently seeking patients to join them."

Answered by AI

What earlier studies have been made on lenvatinib and its effects?

"Presently, there are 232 studies underway assessing the efficacy of lenvatinib, with 47 active Phase 3 trials. While many of these tests occur in Nanning Guangxi, they span 8685 other locations as well."

Answered by AI

What has been the regulatory agency's ruling on lenvatinib?

"We appraise lenvatinib as a 2 on the safety scale due to its designation as a Phase 2 trial, thus indicating that there is some data attesting to its security but nothing regarding efficacy."

Answered by AI

What is the ultimate goal of this clinical experiment?

"The principal objective of this trial, measured at Week 24, is to discover the percentage of participants with intolerable Grade 2 or any Grade greater than or equal to Grade 3 toxic effects. Additionally, Progression-free Survival (PFS), Objective Response Rate (ORR) and Number of Participants With TEAEs and Serious TEAEs are secondary outcomes. PFS is calculated by measuring time from randomization till either progression documented through investigator assessment as per RECIST v1.1 criteria or decease; ORR is assessed based on Best Overall Response (BOR) according to RECIST v1.1 after completion of treatment; last"

Answered by AI

How many individuals are enrolled in this experiment?

"Unfortunately, this trial is not currently accepting candidates. It was initially published on August 17th 2017 with the latest edit made on October 12th 2022. Should you be interested in other medical trials, there are 2586 active studies for carcinoma and 232 open clinical trials for lenvatinib."
