Official Title: A Phase II Study of Sunitinib or Temsirolimus in Patients With Advanced Rare Tumours
Study ID: NCT01396408
Brief Summary: This research is being done because there is no treatment that will cure this type of cancer. Although some types of chemotherapy can cause this cancer to shrink for a time, better options are needed.
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects the study drugs - sunitinib or temsirolimus - will have on this type of cancer. The study will begin by finding out if sunitinib can shrink the cancer. If sunitinib does not work, temsirolimus will be tested next.
