Brief summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of flavopiridol in treating patients who have unresectable or metastatic kidney cancer.

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the confirmed and unconfirmed complete and partial responses in patients with unresectable or metastatic renal cell cancer treated with flavopiridol.
* Determine the 6-month time to treatment failure rate and overall survival rate of patients treated with this drug.
* Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug in this patient population.
* Determine, in a preliminary manner, the association of tumor response with pretreatment tumor proliferative and apoptotic rates in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive flavopiridol IV over 1 hour on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-35 patients will be accrued for this study.

  * Soft tissue disease that has been previously irradiated within the past 2 months is not considered measurable
  * Soft tissue disease within a previously irradiated field is considered measurable provided disease has progressed and other measurable disease exists outside of the radiation field
* No prior or concurrent brain metastases
