Brief summary
CPG 7909 given alone to patients with renal cell cancer after their nephrectomy. CPG 7909 is as a subcutaneous injection once per week for up to 24 weeks. Up to 40 patients will be included in the study.
Interventions
In the phase I portion of the protocol, patients will be included in escalating dose groups: 0.08, 0.12, 0.16, 0.36, 0.54 or 0.81 mg/kg of CPG 7909 Injection. Patients will be treated once weekly subcutaneously for 24 weeks. In the Phase II portion of the trial patients will be treated at the MTD or the highest dose of 0.81 mg/kg identified in the Phase I dose escalation portion of the trial. All patients in Phase I and Phase II will be treated until disease progression or a maximum of 24 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the tolerability of escalating doses of subcutaneously administered CPG 7909 Injection up to a maximum dose of 0.81 mg/kg in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer. | Indeterminate |
| To establish the maximum tolerated dose for CPG 7909 Injection as monotherapy in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer up to a dose of 0.81mg/kg. | Indeterminate |
| To estimate the overall tumor response rate of CpG 7909 according to the RECIST criteria in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer. | Indeterminate |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess tolerability relative to dose exposure, immunologic activity, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of CPG 7909 Injection, time to progression, duration of response, and time to survival. | Indeterminate |
