Evaluation of a Radio-Surgical Approach for the Treatment of Kidney Tumors in Poor Surgical Candidates


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To evaluate and compare the clinical safety of utilizing four different schemes of
radiosurgical ablative techniques for treating poor surgical candidates with renal
tumors.

Secondary

- To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic efficacy of four different
schemes of radiosurgical ablation of renal tumors in poor surgical candidates.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

Patients undergo placement of 2-3 fiducial markers in or near the renal tumor. Patients then
undergo 4 fractions of stereotactic radiosurgery in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity. Treatment may repeat at 6 months if tumor is still present.

After radio-surgery, follow-up will be done at 1 , 3 and 6 months and then every 6 months
post radiosurgery for a total of 36 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32 patients will be accrued for this study.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patient is considered a poor surgical candidate for removal of renal mass as
determined by anesthesiology pre-operative assessment or the surgical team, medical
team. (No major psychiatric illnesses.)

- Patient is able to give and sign study specific informed consent

- No prior pelvic or abdominal radiation

- Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to registration for
women of childbearing potential

- Patient has a radiologically and /or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of a renal
tumor

- Karnofsky status of >= 60%

- Signed study-specific informed consent prior to study entry

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any patient not meeting the eligibility criteria.

- Any patient with active connective tissue disease such as lupus, dermatomyositis.

- Any patient with active Crohn's disease or active ulcerative colitis.

- Major psychiatric illness, which would prevent completion of treatment or interfere
with follow-up.

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Maximum tolerated dose of radiosurgery (Phase I)

Outcome Description:

Acute Radiation Toxicity ≥ grade 3 in the Gastrointestinal and renal/genitourinary categories of the common terminology criteria for adverse events 4.0 (CTCAE) will be considered dose limiting. The maximum tolerated dose will be one dose level below which the adverse event, as described above, occurred.

Outcome Time Frame:

once every 4 weeks

Safety Issue:

Yes
