Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the efficacy of PS-341 in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
* Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly for 2 weeks. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 2 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-19 months.
