Study summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of digital monitoring of self-reported symptoms (PROs) on the adjustment of treatment management in patients treated with cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in real life during the first 3 months of combined treatment

Read the detailed description

Patients receive the combination of Cabozantinib and Nivolumab as indicated in the label.

During this combined treatment, the digital monitoring system is used to collect weekly data on treatment tolerance, based on patient reports.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient older than 18 years
  • Diagnosis of advanced/ Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) with a clear-cell component
  • No prior systemic treatment for RCC
  • Physician-initiated decision prior to study enrollment to treat with cabozantinib and nivolumab in combination, in for advanced/metastatic RCC, according to approved local labels
  • Female subjects of must not be pregnant at screening and during treatment by Cabozantinib and Nivolumab. Effective methods of must be used throughout the course of treatment and for at least 5 months after the end of treatment. Sexually active fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use medically accepted barrier methods of contraception (e.g., male or female condom) during the study and 5 months after the last dose of study treatment, even if oral contraceptives are also used.
  • Subject affiliated to an appropriate social security system
  • Patient has signed informed consents obtained before any trial related activities and according to local guidelines

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient assessed by the investigator to be unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the protocol
  • Current participation in another clinical study and/or in an program with any intervention that could possibly interfere with the treatment and impact this study
  • Patient with history of allergy or to components of the study drugs
  • Patient with to the study drugs
  • Pregnant or lactating woman
  • Patient unable to use digital tools
  • Patient deprived of liberty or placed under the authority of a tutor
  • Patient assessed by the investigator to be unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the protocol
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Digital monitoring under Cabozantinib and nivolumab treatments

    During this combined treatment, the digital monitoring system is used to collect weekly data on treatment tolerance by patient self-report. The digital telemonitoring platform is used to facilitate the monitoring of signs and symptoms of treatment-specific Adverse Events. The platform integrates an algorithm to define patient risk based on responses to data collected on platform. The self-reported information on the mobile digital device allows to "classify" patients ("correct", "compromised", "to be monitored", or "critical) and to create some alerts. Some actions may be undertaken depending on these alerts, with adjustments of the management of treatments

    Drug: cabozantinib and nivolumab

Interventions

  • Drugcabozantinib and nivolumab

    cabozantinib and nivolumab according to the labelling indication, namely: * CABOZANTINIB 40 mg per oral route once daily * NIVOLUMAB 240 mg per intravenous route every 2 weeks During this combined treatment, the digital monitoring system is used to collect weekly data on treatment tolerance by patient self-report.

This study also gives Nivolumab, Cabozantinib. No intervention listed here names it: that was found by reading the record.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of patients with adjustment of treatments management

    rate of patients with adjustment of treatments management including any unplanned action guided by weekly digital monitoring of self-reported symptoms: anticipated consultation, anticipated phone follow-up, anticipated advices, treatment discontinuation, hospitalization within the first 3 months of the combined treatment

    Time frame: within the first 3 months of the combined treatment (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

Secondary outcomes

  1. - The evolution of self-reported symptoms

    report regular follow-up of self-reported symptoms on the digital platform

    Time frame: during the first 6 months of the combination (cabozantinb and nivolumab)

  2. - To evaluate the improvement of self-reported symptoms after adjustment of the combined treatment

    Follow-up of number of grade 3-4 of self-reported symptoms after modification of treatment management induced by remote follow-up at 3 months

    Time frame: during the first 3 months of the combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

  3. - To characterize and evaluate regular follow-up of patients self-reported fatigue

    Score of self-reported fatigue by the questionnaire Facit-F (score between 0 and 160)

    Time frame: During the first 6 months of combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

  4. - To have a longitudinal assessment of general health-related quality of life (QoL)

    \- The evolution of general health-related quality of life with the score of FSKI-10 questionnaire (score between 0 and 40)

    Time frame: During the first 6 months of combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

  5. - To assess the feasibility of regular follow-up of PROs in real life

    The levels of satisfaction and difficulties encountered by patients using the digital monitoring with the French validated version of the self-questionnaire F-SUS System Usability Scale (score between 0 and 50)

    Time frame: At 3 and 6 months after initiation of combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

  6. - To characterize and describe warning adverse reactions

    \- The characterization and description of warning adverse reactions that may require therapeutic adaptation

    Time frame: During the first 6 months of the combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

  7. - To characterize alerts issued by digital monitoring

    Follow-up of number of alerts issued by digital monitoring

    Time frame: During the first 6 months of the combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)

  8. To have a longitudinal assessment of anxiety/depression and pain

    The evolution of anxiety/depression with HADS scale (score between 0 and 56)

  9. To characterize alerts issued by digital monitoring

    Follow-up on the type of alerts (dose adjustment or treatment discontinuation)

    Time frame: During the first 6 months of combination (cabozantinib and nivolumab)
