Phase II Trial of Taxol in Patients with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract
Based on results of previous Phase I studies, 18 patients with documented metastastic renal cell carcinoma received Taxol 250 mg/m2 as a 24-h infusion, repeated every 21 days in this Phase II study. All patients received premedication with dexamethasone, diphenhydramine, and cimetidine. There were no responses in the 18 patients treated.
