thalidomide and Cancer of Kidney

thalidomide has been researched along with Cancer of Kidney in 57 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Trial Outcomes

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

"The MTD of lenalidomide in combination with sunitinib was defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 out of 6 participants experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Dose limiting toxicities were:~• Inability to deliver Lenalidomide in Cycle 1 due to a drug-related toxicity resulting in:~Grade (GR) 3 or 4 non-hematological toxicity lasting for ≥ 14 days~Febrile neutropenia~Gr 4 neutropenia lasting for ≥ 7 days~Gr 4 thrombocytopenia The occurrence of one of the above drug-related toxicities resulting in a clinical and/or laboratory assessment being done within 7 days following the initial finding to examine the participants for resolution of the toxicity. Lack of resolution of the toxicities was considered a DLT.~If ≤ 7 doses of lenalidomide or Sunitinib were missed in Cycle 1 due to non-drug related event, the participant data was to be included in the evaluation of dose escalation." (NCT00975806)
Timeframe: Within 21 days of first dose of treatment

Interventionmg (Number)
Cohort F: Lenalidomide 10mg and Sunitinib 37.5mg10

Phase 1 : Tumor Response Rate According to RECIST 1.1

"Tumor response was evaluated every 3 cycles beginning with Cycle 3 Day 1 and at treatment discontinuation. Response was evaluated using the Response Criteria Evaluation in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) criteria:~Treatment response includes both complete response and partial response~Complete response-disappearance of all lesions~Partial response-30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline~Stable disease-neither shrinkage nor increase of lesions~Progressive Disease-20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions from nadir" (NCT00975806)
Timeframe: Every 3 cycles; up to month 25

Phase 1: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) While on Both Lenalidomide and Sunitinib

Adverse event (AE) = any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence occurring at any dose that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study, including new intercurrent illness, worsening concomitant illness, injury, or any concomitant impairment of participants health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Serious adverse event (SAE) = any AE which: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; constitutes an important medical event. TEAE = any AE occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment with any study drug. Related = suspected by investigator to be related to study treatment.
