Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Advanced or Unresectable Kidney Cancer

April 18, 2017 updated by: The Cleveland Clinic

Phase II Study of CC-5013 in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)

RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well lenalidomide works in treating patients with advanced or unresectable kidney cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the best response in patients with advanced or unresectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with lenalidomide.
  • Evaluate the response duration, time to tumor progression, and survival of patients with advanced RCC treated with lenalidomide.
  • Evaluate the safety of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive oral lenalidomide daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 26 patients will be accrued for this study.
