May 10, 2011 updated by: Mayo Clinic

Phase II Study of Dolastatin-10 in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of dolastatin 10 in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the response rate to dolastatin 10 in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. II. Describe the toxicities of this regimen in this patient population. III. Assess the development of peripheral neuropathy in this patient population using this regimen. IV. Assess a limited sampling of pharmacokinetics and correlate with toxicity in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive dolastatin 10 IV every 3 weeks. Treatment continues for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with documented complete response receive an additional 2 courses, and may receive retreatment at the time of progression at the discretion of the investigator. Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued for this study over 4-15 months.
