Efficacy and Safety of Bevacizumab Plus Sorafenib for the Third-line Treatment in Metastatic Renal Cancer Patients

Summary

There is no standard treatment in patients with renal cell carcinoma that was previously treated with VEGF targeted therapies and mTOR inhibitors.So investigators conducted a randomized, open-label, multi-center phase II study to compare bevacizumab plus sorafenib versus sorafenib for the third-line treatment of patients with Metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
