Study Summary

In the past 5 years, treatment for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) has focused on agents directed at blocking tumor and vascular growth pathways. Sunitinib blocks the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFr) and temsirolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Both sunitinib and temsirolimus are FDA approved agents for mRCC. When agents like these are given together, the toxicity increases but they can be given safely, at full doses, sequentially. We hypothesize that alternating these agents will double the progression free survival (PFS) of the agents when given sequentially.

Primary Outcome

To determine the time to disease progression in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with alternating targeted therapy. This time interval constitutes the metric progression free survival time.

Interventions

  • DRUG Sunitinib
  • DRUG Temsirolimus
