A Randomized Trial Of Temsirolimus Versus Sorafenib As Second-Line Therapy In Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Who Have Failed First-Line Sunitinib Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Sorafenib and temsirolimus (Torisel) for Renal Cell Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 512 participants across 128 sites in 20 countries.
Detailed Summary
This is an international, randomized, open-label, outpatient, multicenter study. Subjects will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment arms: temsirolimus 25 mg once weekly by intravenous (IV) infusion or sorafenib 400 mg by mouth (PO) twice daily (BID). These investigational drugs will be administered in 6-week cycles for the duration of the study, up to 24 months. Subjects will be stratified by nephrectomy status, duration of response to sunitinib therapy, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) prognostic group, and RCC tumor histology.
