Details and patient eligibility

About

Study to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of first-line pazopanib followed by second-line everolimus in metastatic and advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Due to changes in the RCC treatment landscape, info gained is no longer clinically relevant to patients. Data collected is deemed sufficient to meet objective.

Full description

A non-randomised, open label, single-arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1st-line pazopanib followed by 2nd-line everolimus in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Subjects received initial therapy with pazopanib followed, on progression, by 2nd-line therapy with everolimus. Study treatment - sequential treatment with pazopanib followed by everolimus - to continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death.
