NCT ID: NCT03013335
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of high-grade (i.e. Grade 3-4 and Grade 5 of CTCAE v4.0) adverse reactions of interest in patients with metastatic RCC who have progressed during or after receiving at least one prior systemic anti-angiogenic treatment and who are eligible for nivolumab monotherapy.
Detailed Description: The present study will be carried out in patients suffering from refractory metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma. The overall study population consists of 450 adult patients. In France, 10600 patients were diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2010. At the time of their diagnosis, approximately 30% of patients present with metastatic disease, with 90 to 95% of that metastatic disease being of the clear-cell histology. The present study is a multicenter, open-label, non-controlled, phase II safety study in patients who are suffering from metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma and who have progressed during or after one prior systemic anti-angiogenic treatment. Patients intolerant to prior systemic anti-angiogenic treatment can also be eligible. The dose and schedule of nivolumab in this study will be 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Nivolumab will be administered every 2 weeks until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of the informed consent. 450 patients should be included over a period of 1 year
