Brief summary:
This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-national, multi-center, parallel-arm trial comparing tivozanib to sorafenib in subjects with advanced RCC. The study is designed to compare the PFS, OS, ORR, DR, safety and tolerability, and kidney specific symptoms/health outcome measurements of tivozanib and sorafenib.

Detailed description:
This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-national, multi-center, parallel-arm trial comparing tivozanib to sorafenib in subjects with advanced RCC. The study is designed to compare the PFS, OS, ORR, DR, safety and tolerability, and kidney specific symptoms/health outcome measurements of tivozanib and sorafenib.

Subjects will be randomized (1:1) to treatment with tivozanib or sorafenib and stratified by geographic region (North America/Western Europe, Central/Eastern Europe, or rest of the world); number of prior treatments (0 or 1); and number of metastatic sites/organs involved (1 or ≥ 2).

Arms:
arm 1: None arm 2: None

Interventions: intervention 1: tivozanib (AV-951) intervention 2: Sorafenib
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Tivozanib: 1.5 mg orally once daily. Subjects will receive 1.5 mg tivozanib once daily beginning on Day 1 for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off treatment. One cycle will be defined as 4 weeks of treatment. Cycles will be repeated every 4 weeks. intervention 2: Sorafenib: 400 mg orally twice daily. Subjects will receive 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) sorafenib twice daily continuously, beginning on Day 1. One cycle will be defined as 4 weeks of treatment. Cycles will be repeated every 4 weeks.
