BTCRC study completes accrual ahead of schedule
|
The Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium's inaugural study,
BTCRC-GU14-003, has reached its accrual goal well ahead of projections. The Phase Ib/II study of pembrolizumab and bevacizumab in combination for subjects with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, completed enrollment July 1, about six months ahead of schedule.
The study, led by sponsor-investigator Arkadiusz Dudek, MD, PhD, of the University of Illinois at Chicago, opened to accrual in March 2015. Ten BTCRC member cancer centers participated the study. Investigators
presented Phase Ib results at the 2016 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.
