Study Design | Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment; Masking: None (Open Label); Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Condition |
Renal Cell Carcinoma, Metastatic |
Interventions |
Biological: Intuvax (INN: ilixadencel) Drug: Sunitinib |
Enrollment | 88 |
Recruitment Details | The first patient's first visit was 28 April 2015 and last patient's last visit was 17 June 2019. Patients were recruited from Sweden (n=31), France (n=4), United States (n=2), Czech Republic (n=6), Latvia (n=6), Poland (n=12), Spain (n=18), Hungary (n=5), United Kingdom (n=4). |
Pre-assignment Details | 117 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic renal cell cancer were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The 88 eligible patients were randomized to either of two treatments: Intuvax (INN: ilixadencel) + Sunitinib or Sunitinib-only. Patients were stratified according to Heng criteria, as either high-risk or intermediate-risk. Results are presented by risk stratum and treatment (4 groups) and by treatment overall (2 groups), i.e. the 6 groups are not mutually exclusive. |

Baseline Analysis Population Description |
The 6 groups are not mutually exclusive. The patients are presented both separately by risk stratum and treatment (4 groups) and by treatment group overall (2 groups) where high-risk and intermediate-risk strata are combined. This split of baseline characteristics provides transparency for efficacy outcomes that are analysed by these 6 groups.
