Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Recurrent Renal Cell Cancer Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer | Radiation: stereotactic body radiation therapy Drug: cyclophosphamide Biological: therapeutic autologous lymphocytes Other: laboratory biomarker analysis | Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Conduct a safety and feasibility study of stereotactic radiotherapy with autologous T-cell infusion for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the progression free survival at one year. II. Determine the overall survival at one year.
OUTLINE:
STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIATION THERAPY (SBRT): Patients undergo standard of care SBRT over 1-2 weeks according to tumor volume and location.
LYMPHODEPLETION: Beginning 3 weeks later, patients receive cyclophosphamide orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 3 days.
REINFUSION OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS (PBMC): Within 3-14 days of completing lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide, patients undergo autologous PBMC infusion.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 week, 4 weeks, and monthly thereafter.

- Frequency of treatment-related grade 3-5 toxicities, graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Within 30 days after infusion of PBMCs ]Adverse events will be tabulated by type and grade at each follow-up interval.
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The level of OS will be tabulated at each follow-up interval, and will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier curves and medians with 95% confidence intervals.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: The duration from SBRT treatment to documented disease progression or death, assessed at 1 year ]The level of PFS will be tabulated at each follow-up interval. The percentage of individuals free from disease progression will be computed with exact 95% confidence intervals. PFS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier curves and medians with 95% confidence intervals.
- Level of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]The correlations of CTCs and changes in signaling as measured by nano-immunoassay (NIA) to clinical response will be assessed. NIA measurements for 20 protein isoforms will be analyzed. Measurements will be analyzed as continuous variables for each sample. The distribution of each isoform will be summarized with medians and interquartile ranges. Quantile plot and box-Cox models will be used to determine whether to transform the data prior to analysis. A protein isoform signature predictive of clinical response will be constructed using the Lasso R glmnet package.
