a study of ly2510924 and sunitinib in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma

Conditions: Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Summary: to compare the progression free survival of ly2510924 plus sunitinib therapy versus sunitinib in the first-line setting for patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.
