RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving monoclonal antibody GC1008 may help doctors learn more about the effects of GC1008 on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.
PURPOSE: This research study is looking at the effects of monoclonal antibody GC1008 in blood samples from patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer or malignant melanoma treated on clinical trial NCI-06-C-0200.

Official Title: | In Vivo Effects of GC1008, A Human Anti Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF¿) Monoclonal Antibody, on TGF-Beta Receptor/Smad Signaling In Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells |
Estimated Enrollment: | 36 |
Study Start Date: | December 2006 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Blood samples are collected from patients at baseline and on days 7, 56, and 63 for laboratory biomarker analysis. Levels of phospho-Smad2 and total Smad2 are measured by a bioassay and western blotting.
