Brief Summary

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

This study is designed to explore the molecular modulatory effect of Sunitinib when given in a neoadjuvant setting prior to radical or partial nephrectomy. The study will evaluate aforementioned outcomes in 30 patients at a dose of 50mg/day for 4 weeks followed by surgery 2-4 weeks following the last dose.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients must be at least 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria

* Radiographic evidence of metastatic disease
* Prior administration of immunotherapy/biotherapy/hormonal or radiation for renal cell carcinoma
* Active secondary malignancies (other than basal cell carcinoma of the skin)
* Serious, nonhealing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture

* Active infection requiring parenteral antibiotics at the time of the first Sunitinib administration
* Current or recent (within the 10 days preceding Day 0) use of oral or parenteral anticoagulants (except as required to maintain patency of preexisting, permanency indwelling IV catheters), or aspirin
* Current, recent (within the 4 weeks preceding Day 0), or planned participation in another experimental drug study
* Screening clinical laboratory values:

* ANC of \< 1000/uL
* Platelet count of \< 100,000/uL
* Total bilirubin \> 2.0 mg/dL
