Evaluating bicalutamide and sunitinib for advanced kidney cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase I/II open-label study investigates the safety and efficacy of bicalutamide combined with sunitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who have previously been treated with receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and experienced disease progression. Patients will receive sunitinib on a schedule of two weeks on and one week off, while bicalutamide will be administered orally at a daily dose of 50 mg. The study employs Simon's optimal two-stage design to assess treatment response, with a total of 16 patients to be enrolled if initial responses are observed.
