Brief summary: RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works as first-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic papillary renal cell (kidney) cancer.

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To determine the objective tumor response rate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib malate.

Secondary

* To evaluate the safety of this drug in these patients.
* To determine time-to-event variables of overall survival, time to disease progression, time to response, and duration of response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once a day on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 28 days and then periodically thereafter.

Eligibility criteria: DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

Inclusion criteria:

* Diagnosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma

  * Locally advanced or metastatic disease
  * Type I or type II disease
* Progressive disease
* Measurable disease defined by RECIST criteria as at least 1 lesion at least 2 cm in length by conventional CT scan techniques or at least 1 cm by spiral CT scan
* No brain metastases including treated and nonprogressive metastases

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

Inclusion criteria:

* ECOG performance status 0-1

* Total bilirubin ≤ 3 mg/dL
* AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (5 times ULN if liver metastases are present)

* Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures

Exclusion criteria:

  * Cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack
  * Pulmonary embolism
* Any of the following conditions:

  * Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE grade ≥ 2
  * Atrial fibrillation of any grade
  * Prolongation of the QTc interval to \> 450 msec for males or \> 470 msec for females
* Hypertension that cannot be controlled by medications
* Inability to swallow oral medications or presence of active inflammatory bowel disease, partial or complete bowel obstruction, or chronic diarrhea
* Known HIV or AIDS infection
* Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration
* Psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and the follow-up schedule
* Patients deprived of liberty or placed under the authority of a tutor

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

* Recovered from all toxic effects of any prior local treatment to CTCAE version 3.0 grade ≤ 1
* At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy

  * At least 1 week since prior radiotherapy to \< 10% of the whole body allowed provided side effects are \< grade 2 and there is at least one site for evaluation
* More than 2 weeks since prior and no concurrent anticoagulant agents or therapeutic doses of warfarin

  * Low-dose warfarin (up to 2 mg/day) for deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis allowed
  * Low molecular weight heparin allowed
* No prior specific medical systemic therapy (i.e., first-line therapy)
* No prior sunitinib malate
* No prior investigational agents
* No concurrent treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial
