About
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Infusing irradiated donor lymphocytes into the patient may help the patient's immune system kill tumor cells. Giving sunitinib together with irradiated donor lymphocytes may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving sunitinib together with irradiated donor lymphocytes works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
Full description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning with course 2 of sunitinib malate, patients also receive irradiated allogeneic lymphocytes IV over 1 hour every 8-16 weeks for up to 6 infusions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 60 days.
