GUMDROP : GWU - Parallel (Randomized) Phase II Evaluation of ARQ 197 and ARQ 197 in Combination With Erlotinib in Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma

Description:This randomized phase II trial studies how well tivantinib with or without erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with metastatic or locally advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Tivantinib and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
