Summary

This trial is studying four different drugs to see how well they work in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma, which can't be surgically removed. They may have had one prior systemic therapy (excluding certain VEGF inhibitors) and must have recovered from its effects. No MET/HGF inhibitors or sunitinib as previous treatments are allowed, and they should not be on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers.
What is being tested?
The effectiveness of cabozantinib s-malate, crizotinib, savolitinib, or sunitinib malate in treating kidney cancer that has spread is being tested. These drugs aim to block enzymes necessary for tumor growth. The study will determine if any drug works better than the others.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include fatigue, diarrhea, high blood pressure, hand-foot syndrome (redness and pain in hands and feet), mouth sores, nausea/vomiting; however individual experiences may vary.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm IV (savolitinib closed to accrual 12/5/18)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive savolitinib PO QD on days 1-42. Cycles repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT at screening and on study, undergo bone scan as clinically indicated, and undergo collection of plasma and serum samples at screening, on study, and during follow up.
Group II: Arm III (crizotinib closed to accrual 12/5/18)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive crizotinib PO BID on days 1-42. Cycles repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT at screening and on study, undergo bone scan as clinically indicated, and undergo collection of plasma and serum samples at screening, on study, and during follow up.
Group III: Arm II (cabozantinib s-malate)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive cabozantinib s-malate PO QD on days 1-42. Cycles repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT at screening and on study, undergo bone scan as clinically indicated, and undergo collection of plasma and serum samples at screening, on study, and during follow up.
Group IV: Arm I (sunitinib malate)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive sunitinib malate PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT at screening and on study, undergo bone scan as clinically indicated, and undergo collection of plasma and serum samples at screening, on study, and during follow up.
