Brief Summary
In the present phase 1-2 study the investigators aim to determine whether depletion of Tregs using metronomic cyclophosphamide can enhance the antitumor efficacy of everolimus in patients with mRCC no...
Detailed Description
This is a phase I/II, national multi-center study of different doses and schedules of low-dose oral cyclophosphamide in combination with fixed dose everolimus in patients with mRCC not amenable to or ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed clear-cell mRCC with progressive disease and not amenable to or progressive on or within 6 months of stopping treatment with a VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (sunitinib (or pazopanib) ± sorafenib).
- Prior therapy with cytokines (i.e. IL-2, interferon) and/or VEGF-ligand inhibitors (i.e. bevacizumab) is permitted.
- Patients with brain metastases are eligible if they have been stable for at least two months post-radiation therapy or surgery.
- Aged 18 years or older.
- No other current malignant disease, except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
- WHO performance status 0-2.
- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Adequate hematologic function: ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, Hb ≥ 6.0 mmol/L.
- Adequate hepatic function: serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (or ≤ 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present).
- Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml/min.
- Measurable or evaluable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1.
- Patients with reproductive potential must use effective contraception. Female patients must have a negative pregnancy test.
- Signed informed consent.
- Able to receive oral medication.
Exclusion
- Patients currently receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy or who have received these ≤ 4 weeks prior to visit 1. The wash-out period for sunitinib or sorafenib is at least 2 weeks from the first dose of the study medication.
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other major immunodeficiency.
- Immunosuppressive agents within 3 weeks of study entry, except for low dose corticosteroids when given for disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, or adrenal insufficiency. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are permitted.
- Patients with an active bleeding diathesis or on oral anti-vitamin K medication.
- Patients with untreated CNS metastases with clinical symptoms or who have received treatment for CNS metastases within 2 months of study entry. Patients with treated CNS metastases, who are neurologically stable and off of corticosteroids for more than 2 months prior to study entry are eligible to enter the study.
- Active infection or serious intercurrent illness, except asymptomatic bacteriuria.
- Presence of unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (within the previous 6 months), or use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia.
- Macroscopic hematuria
- Prior therapy with mTOR inhibitors. 10. Known hypersensitivity to everolimus or other rapamycins (sirolimus/temsirolimus) or to its excipients.
- Pregnant or nursing women, or women who were of childbearing potential and who were not utilizing an effective contraceptive method. A woman of childbearing potential is defined as a female who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant. Men with partners of childbearing potential not using an effective method of contraception. (Use of effective contraceptives must continue for 3 months after the last dose of everolimus).
- Presence of any significant central nervous system or psychiatric disorder(s) that would hamper the patient's compliance.
- Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose \> 2 ULN, severely impaired lung function.
- Cirrhosis/chronic active hepatitis/chronic persistent hepatitis, history of HCV infection (for hepatitis screening indications see section 3.3).
- Drug or alcohol abuse.
- Any other major illness that, in the investigator's judgment, substantially increased the risk associated with the subject's participation in the study.
