Trial Information

A Comparison of Blood and Tissue Biomarkers Before and After Nephrectomy in the First-line Setting With Everolimus in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma


An open-label, exploratory, single-arm, multicenter trial. Treatment with everolimus will be
initiated once patients have undergone baseline screening and provided their written
informed consent.

Everolimus will be administered orally, once daily, for 6 weeks followed by a 1-week rest
period prior to surgery. The starting dose will be 10 mg daily with provision for dose
reduction based on tolerability.

Radical nephrectomy will be performed at the end of week 7. For metastatic patients, two to
four weeks after surgery, everolimus will be reintroduced. Treatment will be continued until
disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or other stopping
rules are met.

Patients with locally advanced renal carcinoma will stop drug intake before nephrectomy.

Resumption of everolimus may be postponed in cases of a delay in wound healing or surgical
complications.

After treatment discontinuation and the last treatment visit (28-days after the last dose),
patients will be followed up in order to collect data on the onset of progression and
survival. In metastatic patients discontinuing treatment for reasons other than disease
progression, tumor assessment will continue every 3 months, until disease progression or
initiation of other anticancer therapy for up to one year of follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Previous nephrectomy

- Histology: any histologic type different than ccRCC

- Treatment in a clinical trial in the last 30 days

- Previous treatment with everolimus or other mTOR-inhibitors and anti-angiogenic drugs

- Any of the following within 12 months prior to treatment initiation: severe/unstable

for deep vein thrombosis is permitted (up to 2 mg/day). Low molecular weight heparin
is allowed.

metastasis (surgery ± radiotherapy, radiotherapy, radiosurgery or gammaknife) and
satisfying the following three criteria are allowed:

- Asymptomatic;

- No evidence of any active brain metastasis 3 months prior inclusion;

- No necessity of corticoid or antiepileptic treatment.

carcinoma, in situ cervical cancer and pT1/a bladder cancer with no evidence of
recurrent disease for 12 months.

- Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities including but not limited to:

- Malabsorption syndrome

- Major resection of the stomach or small bowel that could affect the absorption
of the study drug

- Active peptic ulcer disease

- Inflammatory bowel disease

- Ulcerative colitis or other gastrointestinal conditions with increased risk of
perforation

- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra abdominal
abscess within 28 days prior to beginning study treatment

- Hepatitis B/C

- Hypersensitivity to everolimus or any excipient of everolimus.

- Any active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled infection/disorders that impair the
ability to evaluate the patient or for the patient to complete the study.
