Brief Title: BAY43-9006 (Sorafenib) Versus Interferon Alpha-2a in Patients With Unresectable and/or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Official Title: A Randomised, Open-label, Multi-centre Phase II Study of BAY43-9006 (Sorafenib) Versus Standard Treatment With Interferon Alpha-2a in Patients With Unresectable and/or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Study ID: NCT00117637
Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to: * Find out if patients receiving BAY43-9006 will live longer without tumor progression than those receiving standard therapy with interferon alpha-2a * Find out if a higher dose of BAY43-9006 can inhibit tumor progression in patients who progressed during standard dose treatment with BAY43-9006, and for how long these patients live without progression * Find out how long patients live without progression who receive BAY43-9006 after failing to respond to standard therapy with interferon alpha-2a * Find out in how many percent of patients BAY43-9006 prevents the growth of or shrinks kidney tumors and/or their metastases depending on treatment and dosage * Find out if BAY43-9006 has any effect on the quality of life of patients with kidney cancer * Find out the level of BAY43-9006 in the blood once per month and any changes in this level * Find out whether BAY43-9006 effects are associated with specific biomarkers
Detailed Description: Analyses on Biomarkers were exploratory and assessed as tertiary objective of the trial.
