Purpose
RATIONALE: Talabostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well talabostat works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the response rate in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with talabostat mesylate.
- Determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.
Secondary
- Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
- Correlate changes in specific cytokine levels and peripheral blood flow cytometry with progression-free survival.
OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized study.
Patients receive oral talabostat mesylate once daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood samples are obtained from patients at baseline and after each course for biomarker correlative studies. Samples are analyzed for serum cytokines and chemokines and for T-cell subsets and NK cells by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood lymphocytes are obtained at baseline and after course 1 for future assessment by gene microarray analysis.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Pathologic diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma
- Clinical confirmation of metastatic disease required
Measurable disease, defined as ≥ 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 20 mm by conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm by spiral CT scan
The following are considered nonmeasurable disease:
- Small lesions (longest diameter < 20 mm by conventional techniques or < 10 mm by spiral CT scan)
- Bone lesions
- Leptomeningeal disease
- Ascites
- Pleural or pericardial effusion
- Lymphangitis cutis or pulmonis
- Abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques
- Cystic lesions
- Progressed after ≥ 1 multikinase inhibitor regimen (i.e., sorafenib tosylate or sunitinib malate)
- No history of CNS or brain metastasis
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- ECOG performance status 0-2
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- ANC ≥ 1,500/mm³
- Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
- Hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL (no packed red blood cell transfusions within the past 4 weeks) (epoetin alfa support allowed)
- Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome)
- AST and ALT ≤ 3 times ULN
- Creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL
- No active serious infections
- No other malignancy within the past 5 years except basal cell or nonmetastatic squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- No comorbidity or concurrent condition that would interfere with protocol assessments or procedures
- No ongoing coagulopathy
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- At least 4 weeks since prior systemic therapy and recovered
- Prior radiotherapy allowed as long as the lesion treated is not used to assess response
- No prior radiotherapy to > 50% of the bone marrow
- No prior radiotherapy to index lesions unless there is clearly progressive disease within the irradiated area OR measurable disease outside the irradiated area
