Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib, gemcitabine, and capecitabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with unresectable and/or metastatic kidney cancer. Sorafenib 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib together with gemcitabine and capecitabine may kill more tumor cells.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of sorafenib administered in combination with gemictabine and capecitabine in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. II. Determine the objective response rate for sorafenib in combination with gemictabine and capecitabine in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. III. Determine the duration of overall survival and progression free survival in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, non-randomized, phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study. PHASE I: Patients receive sorafenib* orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21, gemcitabine intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8, and capecitabine PO BID on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 3 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of sorafenib, gemcitabine, and capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 6 patients are treated at the MTD. Note: *Patients who complete at least 3 courses of treatment with objective response or stable disease but are deemed poor candidates for continued chemotherapy may continue treatment with sorafenib PHASE II: Patients receive sorafenib 200mg orally twice a day on days 1-21, gemcitabine 750 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 & 8, and capecitabine 415 mg/m2 orally twice a day on days 1-14 of each 21 day cycle, as in phase I at the MTD determined in phase I. After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically. ;
