Conditions
Kidney Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00042965

Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining capecitabine with gemcitabine in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the objective response rate in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with gemcitabine and capecitabine.

* Determine the duration of overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
