Brief Summary

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

Study Hypothesis: Patients with local renal cell carcinoma who are treated neoadjuvantly with Sutent may show a radiologic response to the study drug (Sutent).

The study is looking at the neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) administration of Sutent in patients with localized kidney cancer. The purpose of this research is also to evaluate both the safety and effectiveness of Sutent in this patient population.

Detailed Description

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

Sutent will be given at 50 mg once daily for 4 consecutive weeks followed by a 1 week rest period. The dosage may change during the cycle due to possible drug toxicities. The nephrectomy will then take place following a one-week washout period. After surgery, patients will have follow-up visits at 6 weeks and 3 months. Patients will be followed for 3 years after completions to assess late toxicities, time to progression and progression-free survival.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sunitinib Malate (Sutent)

Sutent will be given at 50 mg once daily for 4 consecutive weeks followed by a 2 week rest period to comprise a complete cycle of 6 weeks. Patients will then continue on Sutent for another cycle of 4 consecutive weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sunitinib Malate (Sutent)

Intervention Type DRUG

Sutent will be given at 50 mg once daily for 4 consecutive weeks followed by a 1 week washout period. The dosage may change during the cycle due to possible drug toxicities. The nephrectomy will then take place following a one-week washout period.
