About

This research study is evaluating the combination of pazopanib and everolimus in patients that have a malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective, or metastatic or locally advanced unresectable kidney cancer. In this research study the investigators are testing the safety of the combination of pazopanib and everolimus and finding the appropriate doses to use for further studies.

Full description

This protocol has two parts, Phase I Dose Finding and Phase 1 Expansion. Once the maximum tolerated dose has been identified in the Phase I Dose Finding portion, a Phase I expansion cohort of patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable kidney cancer will be enrolled.

Enrollment: 23 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Phase I: Participants must have histologically confirmed malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effected.
• Expansion Cohort Only: Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced unresectable kidney cancer.
• Expansion Cohort Only: Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension at 20mm or greater with conventional techniques or as 10mm or greater with spiral CT.
• Expansion Cohort Only: Previously treated with at least one anti-angiogenic agent, including but not limited to bevacizumab, sunitinib, or sorafenib. No more than 4 lines of prior systemic therapy for kidney cancer, mTOR pathway inhibitors other than RAD001 are allowed.
