Celecoxib and Recombinant Interferon Alfa-2b in Metastatic Kidney Cancer Who Have Undergone Surgery

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Renal Cell Cancer, Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer

In brief

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.
