Brief Summary

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

This trial will examine the effectiveness and the side effects of 2 higher dosing schedules of bevacizumab in patients that have advanced clear cell renal carcinoma.

Detailed Description

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

Bevacizumab is considered a targeted drug. Targeted drugs act on specific receptors on a cell. Bevacizumab blocks receptors that help cancer cells develop blood supplies so that the cancer can grow. These specific receptors are found in greater numbers in kidney cancer. In that regard bevacizumab will be tested in 2 doses that are higher than non-kidney cancer treatments with bevacizumab.

One group of patients will receive bevacizumab at 15 mg per kg by vein every 2 weeks. A total of 75 patients will be treated with this dose.

If this dose is well tolerated a second group of patients will receive bevacizumab at 15mg per kg by vein weekly.
