Renal Cell Carcinoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
European Active Surveillance of Renal Cell Carcinoma Study (EASE RCC Study)
The goal of this observational, prospective, multi-national clinical study is to assess overall survival of patients who are diagnosed with incidental, histologically (biopsy) confirmed, <4 cm Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and are managed conservatively with active surveillance. The primary endpoint is overall survival. The Secondary endpoints are tumor growth rate, progression rate, cancer-specific survival, progression-free survival, identification of clinical and pathological variables and molecular and genetic markers that correlate with growth rate and progression. The main question it aims to answer is: patients with RCC (less than 4 cm) diagnosis can be managed with active surveillance instead treated with invasive curative procedure? For all participants a percutaneous biopsy of the renal mass will be arranged in all cases to histologically confirm the diagnosis of RCC (unless a diagnostic biopsy has been acquired in the previous 6 months). As a minimum, two samples will be used for diagnostic purposes while remaining core(s) will be preserved for molecular studies. Then, all patients will be under active surveillance, which is defined as the initial monitoring of tumor size by serial abdominal imaging (US, CT, or MRI) Follow-up visits will be scheduled 3 (optional) and 6 months after diagnosis, every 6 months up to 3 years and yearly thereafter. A follow-up visit will also be carried out at the time of progression when it occurs. Follow-up visits will include medical history and physical examination (optional), and assessment of concurrent medications, blood and urine collection and storage if participating in translational activities, cross-sectional abdominal and chest imaging exams. Follow-up percutaneous biopsies of the renal tumor are not mandatory, but can be performed when considered clinically important.
Rationale: Active surveillance can be considered a reasonable strategy for elderly patients with small renal tumors or patients with significant comorbidities who are not good surgical candidates. However, most available studies on active surveillance include small renal tumors that were not histologically confirmed as renal cell carcinoma (RCCs), including a proportion of benign tumors. Furthermore, follow-up protocol and indications to delayed intervention during active surveillance have not been generally standardized. There is a clear need of information on the growth rate and oncological outcomes of histologically confirmed RCCs by percutaneous biopsy at diagnosis and on the results of a standardized protocol of active surveillance of small RCCs. Furthermore, if the measurement of tumor growth rate seems to be helpful for initial conservative management of patients with incidentally diagnosed small renal tumors, it is necessary to identify reliable genetic or molecular serum, urine or tissue markers that can differentiate small renal tumors with different inherent aggressiveness and metastatic potential at diagnosis, thereby enabling the urologist to choose the most suitable conservative or active, individualized management approach for each patient. This is a prospective, multi-national clinical study conducted in European countries by hospital based urologists. A total of 400 patients with small, incidentally detected, histologically confirmed RCCs will be included and data related to the oncological outcomes of an active surveillance approach will be collected. After ethics committee approval, according to local requirements, and written patient informed consent has been obtained, patient enrolment can be started. Primary endpoint is overall survival. Secondary endpoints are tumor growth rate, progression rate, cancer-specific survival, progression-free survival, identification of clinical and pathological variables and molecular and genetic markers that correlate with growth rate and progression. ;
