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

after the last dose of investigational product.
- Double-barrier contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly, foam suppository,
