Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This will be a prospective, open-label, randomized multicenter phase-II study to evaluate progression free survival (PFS) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-clear cell renal cell cancer (ncc-RCC) receiving Temsirolimus in comparison to Sunitinib.

In most clinical trials in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), clear cell RCC have been included exclusively. There are only some limited data on the efficacy of Temsirolimus or Sunitinib in ncc-RCC showing interesting response rates for both agents. However, randomized clinical trials in this specific patient population have not yet been performed.

In the proposed study a comparison Temsirolimus and Sunitinib is scheduled in first line therapy of ncc-RCC.

5. Known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to any of the components of study treatments.
6. Radiotherapy within the last 4 weeks.
7. Pregnancy (absence to be confirmed by beta-hCG test) or lactation period.
8. Men or women of child-bearing potential who are sexually active and unwilling to use a medically acceptable method of contraception during the trial.
9. Clinically symptomatic brain or meningeal metastasis. (known or suspected)
10. Cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmics (excluding beta blockers or digoxin).
11. History of any of the following cardiac events within the past 6 months:

17. History of organ allograft
18. Significant disease which, in the investigator's opinion would exclude the patient from the study
19. Patients with seizure and epileptic disorder or other conditions requiring medication (such as phenytoin, carbamazepin, phenobarbital)

21. Patients with hypersensitivity to the antihistamine or patients who cannot receive the antihistamine for other medical reasons
22. Patients requiring long-term cortisone therapy
23. Patients requiring oral anticoagulation treatment, such as marcoumar. (Anticoagulation treatment with heparin or low molecular weight heparin \[LMWH\] is allowed provided that close monitoring is performed).
24. Surgery within at least 2 weeks prior to randomization
25. HIV seropositivity.
26. Abnormal pulmonary function (DLCO \< 50%). \[Pulmonary function tests need only to be performed if abnormal pulmonary function present in medical history\].
27. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
28. Liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis
29. Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity
30. Known alcohol or drug abuse.
31. Medical or psychological conditions that would not permit the patient to complete the study or sign informed consent.
