Alternate Title

SU011248 in Treating Patients With Cytokine-Refractory Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer

Basic Trial Information

Objectives

Primary

1. Determine the antitumor efficacy of SU011248 in patients with cytokine-refractory metastatic renal cell cancer.

Secondary

1. Determine duration of tumor control in patients treated with this drug.
2. Determine overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
3. Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.
4. Correlate plasma concentration with efficacy and safety parameters of this drug in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Histologically confirmed renal cell cancer
  • Metastatic disease
  • Clear cell histology
• Unidimensionally measurable disease
  • At least 1 malignant tumor mass that is at least 20 mm by conventional radiographic techniques or MRI OR at least 10 mm by spiral CT scan
  • The following are not considered measurable:
    • Bone lesions
    • Ascites
    • Peritoneal carcinomatosis or miliary lesions
    • Pleural or pericardial effusions
    • Lymphangitis of the skin or lung
    • Cystic lesions
    • Irradiated lesions
• Failed 1, and only 1, prior cytokine therapy with interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon alfa (IFN-A)*, or a combination of IL-2 and IFN-A*
  • Radiographic evidence of disease progression during or within 9 months after completion of therapy

   [Note: *Prior pegylated interferon alfa may be used instead of IFN-A]

• Underwent prior nephrectomy
• No history of or known brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous meningitis
  • No new evidence of brain or leptomeningeal disease on screening CT scan or MRI

• No concurrent immunotherapy

Chemotherapy

• No concurrent chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy

• No concurrent hormonal therapy

Radiotherapy

• See Disease Characteristics
• At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy and recovered

• Concurrent palliative radiotherapy allowed

Surgery

• See Disease Characteristics
• At least 4 weeks since prior surgery and recovered
• More than 12 months since prior coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft
• No concurrent surgery to the only site of measurable disease

Other

• At least 4 weeks since prior systemic therapy
• No other prior systemic therapy (except IFN-A, IL-2, or a combination of IFN-A and IL-2)
• No concurrent participation in another clinical trial
• No other concurrent approved or investigational anticancer treatment
• No other concurrent investigational drugs

Expected Enrollment

A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral SU011248 once daily on weeks 1-4. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 30 days and then every 2 months thereafter.
