A Phase II Trial of Celecoxib Plus Interferon Alpha in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients With 3+ COX-2 Tumor Immunostaining
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating celecoxib, recombinant interferon alfa-2b, and 6 other interventions for Renal Cell Cancer and Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Recombinant interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slow the growth of kidney cancer. Giving celecoxib together with recombinant interferon alpha-2b may kill more tumor cells and be an effective treatment for metastatic kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving celecoxib together with recombinant interferon alfa-2b works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer who have undergone surgery.
