Brief Summary: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboxyamidotriazole in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer Carboxyamidotriazole may stop the growth of kidney cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the toxicity and disease-stabilizing effect of carboxyamidotriazole in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma
II Determine the objective response rate in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind multicenter study Patients are stratified according to time from diagnosis of metastatic disease to study entry fewer than 24 months vs 24 months or more
Patients receive oral carboxyamidotriazole CAI daily for 4 weeks Treatment repeats for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity After 4 courses patients experiencing complete or partial response continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients with stable disease are randomized to one of two treatment arms
Arm I Patients receive oral CAI as above
Arm II Patients receive a placebo
Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients experiencing disease progression are unblinded and those on placebo begin oral CAI as above
Patients are followed every 6 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 335 patients will be accrued for this study within 15-25 months
