Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma of
predominantly clear-cell histology (excluding chromophobe, papillary, collecting

- Either no prior systemic therapy or failed only 1 prior cytokine-based or
bevacizumab-based therapy

- Evidence of documented measurable disease by RECIST criteria

- Male or female at least 21 years of age

investigation product, through the clinical trial, and for at least 21 days
after the last dose of investigational product.

- Double-barrier contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly, foam suppository,

spermicide).

A man with a female partner of childbearing potential is eligible to enter and participate

- Patients who are pregnant or lactating.

- Poorly controlled hypertension.

- QTc prolongation defined as a QTc interval ≥ 480 msecs or other significant ECG
abnormalities.
