Clinical Trial: Sunitinib in Treating Patients With Locally Recurrent or Metastatic Kidney Cancer

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Phase II Study of Sunitinib in Patients With Metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma

Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic kidney cancer.


Detailed Summary:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the efficacy of sunitinib malate in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 28 days and every 2 months thereafter.
