14518 Background: MGd inhibits thioredoxin reductase. Thioredoxin is implicated in activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha, which is overexpressed in >85% of renal cell carcinomas (RCC). We evaluated anti-tumor and safety activity of MGd in patients (pts) with progressive MRCC. Methods: Eligibility included: measurable MRCC, adequate organ/marrow function, zubrod performance status (ZPS) ≤2, life expectancy ≥12 weeks, ≤2 prior therapies and no active CNS involvement. MGd was infused intravenously over 30 minutes at 5mg/kg on days 1–5 and 15–19 of each 28-day cycle. Evaluation was performed after every 3 cycles. RECIST criteria were utilized to determine response rate. Time to progression (TTP) is determined from time of study entry. Results: 25 evaluable pts were enrolled 19 male/6 female, median age 63 years (range 38–76). All pts had histologic confirmed RCC; 9 pts had clear cell carcinoma, 9 pts with predominant clear cell carcinoma component, 2 pts with papillary and 1 pt with collecting duct. 23 pts received prior systemic therapy, median 2 treatments. 16 pts had ZPS of 0, 8 pts had ZPS of 1, and 1 pt had ZPS of 2. All pts had progressive MRCC. Sites of disease included: lung, nodal, bone, adrenal, kidney and liver. 7 pts had 1 metastatic site, 6 pts had 2 and 12 pts had 3 or more. 20 pts have completed at least 12 weeks of therapy. 5 pts progressed within 3 months. 1 pt had a complete response of lung metastasis but progressed in the CNS. Median TTP is 12 weeks (3–69). Median overall survival is 10.1+ months (1–19+). Grade 1/2 toxicity consisted of: skin discoloration, fatigue, nausea, and headache. Grade 3/4 toxicity consisted of: blisters of the digits and hypophosphatemia. Conclusions: MGd was well tolerated and stabilization of disease was observed in pts with progressive disease. These results show promise for MGd in the previously treated MRCC population and potentially can be used in combination with other MRCC agents. [Table: see text]

Abstract Here, we report surgical treatment of a patient presenting with pancreatic metastasis (MTS) of renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) 11 years after nephrectomy. RCC is one of few cancers that metastasise in pancreas. Jaundice, abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding can develop; however, asymptomatic MTS can be discovered by follow-up after removal of the primary tumour. The patient, 67-year-old female was radiologically diagnosed with a clinically silent mass in the pancreatic body and underwent distal pancreatic resection. The postoperative period was smooth. Four months after the surgery, there were no signs of disease progression.
