Overview

The study of the blood concentration of ITK what are pazopanib and cabozantinib at 1 month and 3 months from the start of treatment will allow to evaluate the impact of renal failure on their efficacy and toxicity in patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

Description

This study involves patients treated with cabozantinib or pazopanib in their metastatic renal cancer.

Indeed, the aim of this study is to assess the blood concentration of these two drugs as well as their tolerance, in relation to their renal function (normal renal function or moderate or severe renal failure).

Pazopanib and cabozantinib are kinase inhibitors that are indicated for a number of cancer conditions, including metastatic kidney cancer.

Both of these oral therapies require a daily intake of the drug to ensure its effectiveness.

For this, the patient must have optimal compliance and benefit from regular follow up to assess clinical and biological tolerance.

Chronic renal failure is a factor that may impact the efficacy and toxicity of pazopanib and cabozantinib. This may be due either to a elimination default of the drug or to much elimination if the drug is filtered after dialysis.

As a result, kinase inhibitors could be impacted by chronic renal failure and thus modify the safety and efficacy of the treatment.

A study-specific blood test will be taken at 1 month and at 3 months during a consultation (this blood test is in addition to the routine blood test). Its analysis will evaluate the quantity of medication present in the blood.

The other objective of this study is to evaluate the side effects of the drug taken by the patient (pazopanib or cabozantinib).

This will alow to propose possible dose adjustments for each of these treatments and thus improve the management of these patients.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
