Antineoplaston Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IV Kidney Cancer
Phase II Study of Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 In Patients With Carcinoma of the Kidney
Current therapies for Stage IV Kidney Cancer provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Stage IV Kidney Cancer.
PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Stage IV Kidney Cancer.

Detailed Description
OVERVIEW: This is a single arm, open-label study in which patients with Stage IV Kidney Cancer receive gradually escalating doses of intravenous Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Treatment continues up to12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
OBJECTIVE S:
- To determine the efficacy of Antineoplaston therapy in patients with Stage IV Kidney Cancer, as measured by an objective response to therapy (complete response, partial response or stable disease).
- To determine the safety and tolerance of Antineoplaston therapy in patients with Stage IV Kidney Cancer.
- To determine objective response, tumor size is measured utilizing MRI scans, which are performed every 8 weeks for the first two years, every 3 months for the third and fourth years, every 6 months for the 5th and sixth years, and annually thereafter.

---|---|
Experimental: Antineoplaston therapy
Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) by IV infusion every four hours for at least 12 months.
Study subjects receive increasing dosages of Atengenal and Astugenal until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.
|
Patients with Stage IV Kidney Cancer will receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal). The daily doses of A10 and AS2-1 are divided into six infusions, which are given at 4-hourly intervals. Each infusion starts with infusion of A10 and is immediately followed by infusion of AS2-1.
