Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the efficacy of arsenic trioxide in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer. II. Determine the safety of this regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours daily for 5 days. Treatment continues every 4 weeks for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed for at least 1 month.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-19 months.
