Pazopanib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Metastatic Kidney Cancer

Phase 2

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma; Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer; Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma; Kidney Oncocytoma; Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer; Carcinoma of the Collecting Ducts of Bellini; Kidney Medullary Carcinoma; Recurrent Renal Cell Carcinoma; Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma
• Interventions: Drug: Pazopanib Hydrochloride

• Registration Number: NCT01767636
• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pazopanib hydrochloride may also stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the efficacy of pazopanib hydrochloride (pazopanib) in non clear cell metastatic renal cell cancer patients as assessed by the overall survival rate at 12 months.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the rates of best tumor response at the end of the first two treatment cycles of pazopanib in non clear cell metastatic renal cell cancer patients.

II. To determine the benefit of pazopanib in increasing progression free survival time.

III. To describe toxicity profile of pazopanib in non clear cell metastatic renal cell cancer patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.
