E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase I part 1) Assessment of the recommended dosing and schedule for metronomic cyclophosphamide when administered in combination with fixed dose (10 mg) oral everolimus in patients with mRCC with respect to the selective induction of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell depletion. 2) Assessment of safety and tolerability for the combination of metronomic cyclophosphamide and fixed dose oral everolimus in patients with mRCC.
In case no depletion of Tregs is observed during the phase 1 part of the study, we consider the absence of an increase in Treg as the minimally acceptable outcome for proceeding to the phase 2 part of the study.
Phase II part 1) To investigate the proportion of patients with mRCC receiving everolimus and metronomic cyclophosphamide that is progression-free at 4 months. 2) Assessment of safety and tolerability for the combination of metronomic cyclophosphamide and fixed dose oral everolimus in patients with mRCC.

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1) To assess the response rate, time to progression, and overall survival of the combination of metronomic cyclophosphamide and fixed dose oral everolimus in patients with mRCC. 2) Assessment of the immunological effects of combining metronomic cyclophosphamide with everolimus. 3) Assessment of the effect of the combination of metronomic cyclophosphamide and everolimus on selected angiogenesis parameters. 4) To assess whether intrapatient changes in thrombocyte numbers correlate with response rate and/or time to progression in patients using the combination of metronomic cyclophosphamide and fixed dose oral everolimus. 5) To asess the effects of the combination of metronomic cyclophosphamide and everolimus on tumor-infiltrating leukocytes. 6) To assess the effects of cyclophosphamide administration on the pharmacokinetics of everolimus. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed clear-cell mRCC with progressive disease and not amenable to or progressive on or within 6 months of stopping treatment with a VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (sunitinib (or pazopanib) ± sorafenib). 2. Prior therapy with cytokines (i.e. IL-2, interferon) and/or VEGF-ligand inhibitors (i.e. bevacizumab) is permitted. 3. Patients with brain metastases are eligible if they have been stable for at least two months post-radiation therapy or surgery. 4. Aged 18 years or older. 5. No other current malignant disease, except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin. 6. WHO performance status 0-2. 7. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. 8. Adequate hematologic function: ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, Hb ≥ 6.0 mmol/L. 9. Adequate hepatic function: serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (or ≤ 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present). 10. Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml/min. 11. Measurable or evaluable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1. 12. Patients with reproductive potential must use effective contraception. Female patients must have a negative pregnancy test. 13. Signed informed consent. 14. Able to receive oral medication.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patients currently receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy or who have received these ≤ 4 weeks prior to visit 1. The wash-out period for sunitinib or sorafenib is at least 2 weeks from the first dose of the study medication. 2. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other major immunodeficiency. 3. Immunosuppressive agents within 3 weeks of study entry, except for low dose corticosteroids when given for disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, or adrenal insufficiency. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are permitted. 4. Patients with an active bleeding diathesis or on oral anti-vitamin K medication. 5. Patients with untreated CNS metastases with clinical symptoms or who have received treatment for CNS metastases within 2 months of study entry. Patients with treated CNS metastases, who are neurologically stable and off of corticosteroids for more than 2 months prior to study entry are eligible to enter the study. 6. Active infection or serious intercurrent illness, except asymptomatic bacteriuria. 7. Presence of unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (within the previous 6 months), or use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. 8. Macroscopic hematuria 9. Prior therapy with mTOR inhibitors. 10. Known hypersensitivity to everolimus or other rapamycins (sirolimus/temsirolimus) or to its excipients. 11. Pregnant or nursing women, or women who were of childbearing potential and who were not utilizing an effective contraceptive method. A woman of childbearing potential is defined as a female who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant. Men with partners of childbearing potential not using an effective method of contraception. (Use of effective contraceptives must continue for 3 months after the last dose of everolimus). 12. Presence of any significant central nervous system or psychiatric disorder(s) that would hamper the patient’s compliance. 13. Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose > 2 ULN, severely impaired lung function. 14. Cirrhosis/chronic active hepatitis/chronic persistent hepatitis, history of HCV infection (for hepatitis screening indications see section 3.3). 15. Drug or alcohol abuse. 16. Any other major illness that, in the investigator’s judgment, substantially increased the risk associated with the subject’s participation in the study.
