Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Kidney Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00057889
Lead Sponsor
National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have metastatic renal cell cancer (kidney cancer) that is refractory to treatment with interleukin-2 or unable to be treated with interleukin-2.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the activity of anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 monoclonal antibody in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cancer who are refractory to or ineligible for interleukin-2.

* Determine the impact of this drug on T-cell number and phenotype in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 monoclonal antibody IV over 90 minutes once every 3 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with an ongoing partial response may receive additional courses of therapy.

Patients are followed at 4 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-103 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-4 years.
