A Phase II Randomized Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-510 in Subjects With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Date de début de l'étude : 1 mai 2003

Inclusion Criteria: A subject will be eligible for study participation if all of the following criteria are met: * The subject is at least 18 years of age. * The subject has advanced histologically documented renal cell carcinoma. Advanced disease is defined as locally recurrent disease or metastatic disease that is not amendable to curative resection. * The subject has not received prior therapy (anti-tumor radiotherapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or investigational therapy) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma other than excision of primary tumor where appropriate. Local radiation for supportive reasons will be allowed; however, not within 28 days from Study Day 1. * The subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score of 0-1 * The subject is able to self-administer or has a caregiver who can reliably administer subcutaneous injections. * The subject must have adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function as follows: * Bone Marrow: White blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 3,000/mm3 (3.0 X 109/L); Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 (100 X 109/L); Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (1.4 mmol/L) * Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (0.81 mmol/L) * Hepatic function: AST and ALT ≤ 1.5 X ULN unless liver metastases are present, then AST and ALT ≤ 5.0 X ULN; LDH ≤ 1.5 X ULN; bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL (0.026 mmol/L) Corrected calculated calcium ≤ 10 mg/dL (2.5 mmol/L) Calculation = total calcium - 0.707 (albumin -3.4)Albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL (0.45 mmol/L) * The subject must not be pregnant or lactating and all subjects (male and female) must use a contraceptive method deemed acceptable by the investigator while in the study and for up to two months following completion of therapy. * The subject has voluntarily signed and dated an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved consent prior to any study specific procedures. Exclusion Criteria: A subject will be ineligible for study participation if any of the following criteria are met: * The subject has a history of or currently exhibits Central Nervous System (CNS) metastasis. Brain MRI within 28 days of enrollment is required to confirm absence of CNS metastases. * The subject is receiving therapeutic anticoagulation therapy. Low dose anticoagulation (e.g., low dose Coumadin) for catheter prophylaxis will be permitted; PT/PTT must be within normal limits. * The subject has a history of or currently exhibits clinically significant cancer related events of bleeding (e.g., hemoptysis). The subject has a recent history of (within 4 weeks of Study Day 1) or currently exhibits other clinically significant signs of bleeding. * The subject exhibits evidence of clinically significant uncontrolled conditions(s) and/or is considered by the investigator to be unable to tolerate the proposed treatment or procedures. * The subject has history of other previous malignancies within 5 years, with the exception of: Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri or Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
