Are you looking for a regimen but can't find it here? It is possible that we've moved it to the historical regimens page or to a histology- or biomarker-specific page. For placebo or observational studies in this condition, please visit this page. If you still can't find it, please let us know so we can add it!
Note: This page contains trials that did not specify histology or allowed patients with multiple histologies. Trials limited to a specific histology including those that required a clear-cell component are on dedicated pages:

1Reported efficacy for TARGET is based on the 2009 update.
2While the primary endpoint (PFS) was not met in INTORSECT, the control arm actually had superior OS compared to the experimental arm.

Prior treatment criteria

  • INTORSECT: Sunitinib, with progression

Targeted therapy

Continued indefinitely

Dose and schedule modifications

  • Sorafenib can be decreased to 400 mg PO once per day or 400 mg PO every other day if needed due to toxicity
