简要总结

RATIONALE: Tinzaparin may stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of tinzaparin and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the effect of tinzaparin sodium on fibrin formation (prothrombin fragment F1.2), thrombin generation (thrombin-antithrombin complexes), and fibrinolysis (D-Dimer) from baseline to 2 weeks and at nadir or disease progression in patients with unresectable metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Secondary

  • Determine the effect of tinzaparin sodium treatment on circulating angiogenesis markers, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).
  • Determine the proportion of patients developing venous thromboembolism and hemorrhage.
  • Determine the tolerability of tinzaparin sodium treatment for up to 6 months in these patients.
  • Establish the feasibility of undertaking a multicenter renal cell carcinoma trial with specialized coagulation test collection, shipping, and processing.
  • Obtain more accurate and specific mean, median, and variability in biomarker data in advanced RCC patients treated with tinzaparin sodium for purposes of planning larger future trials.
  • Estimate the progression-free survival at 4 months in patients treated with tinzaparin sodium.
  • Correlate progression-free survival with changes in markers of coagulation activation or angiogenesis.
  • Correlate the anticoagulant activity of tinzaparin sodium (anti-Xa activity) with change in coagulation markers, angiogenesis markers, and progression-free survival.
