study of lenvatinib in combination with everolimus in participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (rcc)

Conditions: Carcinoma, Renal Cell

Summary: phase 1 study to investigate the tolerability and safety of lenvatinib in combination with everolimus in participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic rcc.
