Clinical Trial Summary

This early phase I trial evaluates blood samples to see if patients undergoing standard of care treatment with either stereotactic body radiation therapy or percutaneous ablation (using radio waves to create heat to destroy the tumor), have an increase in serum immune markers in kidney cancer. Information gained from this study may help doctors make treatment decisions for patients with kidney cancer.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare pre- and post-treatment immune markers and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) characteristics in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients overall.

II. Compare pre- and post-treatment immune markers and PBMC characteristics between patients being treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) and are also undergoing immunotherapy.

III. Compare pre- and post-treatment immune markers and PBMC characteristics in patients being treated with either SBRT or PCA and not undergoing immunotherapy.

IV. Assess the impact of post-treatment immune markers and PBMC characteristics on distant disease progression in metastatic RCC patients overall.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline prior to SBRT or PCA, then at 14 days, 3 and 6 months after SBRT or PCA.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histological diagnosis of primary RCC

• Histological or radiographic diagnosis of metastatic RCC

• Age >= 18 years

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-3

• Feasible vascular access as determined by study staff

• Undergoing standard of care SBRT or PCA to RCC metastatic lesion(s)

• Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior local treatment of the index metastatic lesion

• Pregnant or nursing women

• Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for study entry

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in immune markers and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) characteristics	Immune markers and PBMC characteristics will be evaluated overall. For change from baseline, comparisons between groups will be done using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), including the pre-treatment count as a covariate in the model along with group status. The change will be described between groups reporting the mean and inter-quartile range. Linear regression will be used, analysis of covariance for change, for multiple variable models that will include any relevant baseline disease and patient characteristics.	Baseline up to 6 months
Secondary	Change in immune markers and PBMC characteristics in patients undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) and receiving concurrent immunotherapy	Each CD8+ T cell will be compared between the SBRT and PCA groups using a two-sample T test at each of the time points as well as for percent change from baseline. For change from baseline, comparisons between groups will be done using ANCOVA, including the pre-treatment count as a covariate in the model along with group status. The change will be described between groups reporting the mean and inter-quartile range. Linear regression will be used, analysis of covariance for change, for multiple variable models that will include any relevant baseline disease and patient characteristics.	Baseline up to 6 months
Secondary	Change in immune markers and PBMC characteristics in patients undergoing SBRT or PCA and not receiving concurrent immunotherapy	Each CD8+ T cell will be compared between the SBRT and PCA groups using a two-sample T test at each of the time points as well as for percent change from baseline. For change from baseline, comparisons between groups will be done using ANCOVA, including the pre-treatment count as a covariate in the model along with group status. The change will be described between groups reporting the mean and inter-quartile range. Linear regression will be used, analysis of covariance for change, for multiple variable models that will include any relevant baseline disease and patient characteristics.	Baseline up to 6 months
Secondary	Levels of post-treatment immune markers and PBMC characteristics	Will be correlated with distant disease progression overall (45 patients). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize levels of immune markers and PBMC characteristics in the event of disease progression.	Up to 6 months
