Brief Summary: RATIONALE Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor It is not yet known if interferon alfa is more effective with or without thalidomide in treating metastatic kidney cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of interferon alfa with or without thalidomide in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the safety of interferon alfa and thalidomide in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma
Compare the relative toxicity of interferon alfa with or without thalidomide in these patients
Assess the antiangiogenic effect of thalidomide by monitoring the angiogenesis-associated factors in these patients
Compare in a preliminary manner the efficacy of interferon alfa with or without thalidomide in these patients
Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive interferon alfa subcutaneously 3 times a week and oral thalidomide once daily for 12 weeks
Arm II Patients receive interferon alfa only as in arm I Treatment in both arms repeats every 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients in arm II who develop disease progression discontinue interferon alfa and receive thalidomide only as in arm I

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then every 3 weeks during each study course

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 90 patients will be accrued for this study
