Abstract

Twenty-two eligible patients with advanced renal carcinoma were treated with suramin utilizing a fixed dose regimen. Therapy was reasonably well tolerated with 3 of 22 patients (14%) developing grade 4 toxicity and 11 of 22 patients (50%) having a maximum toxicity of grade 3. There were no responders; median survival was 10 months. Suramin is not an active agent in advanced renal carcinoma.
