About

This study will be a single arm phase II clinical trial of 8 weeks of daily, oral neo-adjuvant pazopanib prior to nephrectomy in 39 evaluable patients with histologically confirmed localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Full description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the objective response rate Complete Response + Partial Response(CR+PR) associated with neoadjuvant pazopanib at 8 weeks as defined via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1). The investigators will also estimate the recurrence free survival (RFS), specifically the 1 and 2 year rates, with recurrence defined via RECIST1.1, and characterize the safety issues. Finally, this study also includes a number of exploratory analyses designed to evaluate potential correlations between RFS and; serum levels of cytokine and angiogenesis factor (CAF).
