Brief Summary

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

This phase II trial studies how well arginine works in treating patients with kidney injury caused by anti-VEGF drugs used in standard treatment for cancer. Arginine is a nutritional supplement that may control side effects of anti-cancer drugs such as high blood pressure and protein in the urine and may also help to improve kidney function in patients.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the value and/or limitations of using orally supplemented arginine (L-arginine) to improve renal function associated with the use of anti-angiogenic therapies that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients receive arginine orally (PO) four times daily (QID). Treatment continues for up to 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP II: Patience receive placebo PO QID. Treatment continues for up to 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment patients are followed up within 1 month.
