Trial Information

A Phase II Open-Label Study of Single Agent MDX-010 for the Treatment of IL-2 Refractory or IL-2 Ineligible Patients With Stage IV Renal Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the activity of anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 monoclonal
antibody in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cancer who are refractory to or
ineligible for interleukin-2.

- Determine the impact of this drug on T-cell number and phenotype in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 monoclonal antibody IV
over 90 minutes once every 3 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with an ongoing partial response may receive additional
courses of therapy.

Patients are followed at 4 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and
then annually until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-103 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-4
years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed stage IV clear cell renal carcinoma

- At least 1 site of measurable disease

- Meeting criteria for 1 of the following:

- Disease progression after prior interleukin-2 (IL-2)

- Ineligible for standard high-dose IV IL-2 due to comorbid medical conditions

- Minimal disease (lesions ≤ 3 cm that do not pose risk to organ function) such
that participation in this study is not likely to compromise the patient's
opportunity to receive future high-dose IL-2

- Indolent disease (defined as an increase in tumor size of < 50% within the past
6 months) such that participation in this study is not likely to compromise the
patient's opportunity to receive future high-dose IL-2

- No true papillary, medullary, chromophobe, collecting duct, or oncocytic renal
cancer
