Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving sunitinib malate and to see how well it works in treating patients with locally recurrent, locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic urinary tract cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the time to disease progression (defined as the time from diagnosis of metastatic urothelial carcinoma until first confirmed progression of the disease) in patients with locally recurrent, locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic urothelial cancer treated with sunitinib malate and ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
  • To determine the safety of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

  • To determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • To determine the overall response rate in patients treated with this drug.
  • To determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • To determine the time to treatment failure in patients treated with this drug.
  • To determine the pharmacodynamic profile of this drug in pre- and post-treatment serum and tumor tissue (i.e., IL8, VEGF, MMP9, bFGF, p27, Ki-67, and apoptosis [H/E]) at week 6, and if possible, at time of progression.
  • To determine the quality of life of patients treated with this drug using the QLQ-C30 version 3 questionnaire.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Measurable or nonmeasurable disease according to RECIST criteria
  • •Measurable lesions that have been previously irradiated will not be considered target lesions unless increase in size has been observed following completion of radiation therapy

  • •Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL
  • •Not pregnant or nursing
  • •Negative pregnancy test
  • •Fertile patients must use effective contraception during study therapy
  • •No diagnosis of a second malignancy within the past 3 years except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix

  • •No hypertension that cannot be controlled by medications (> 150/100 mm Hg despite optimal medical therapy)
  • •No known HIV infection
  • •No other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or which would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study
