Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Anti-tumor Activity as Measured by Median Progression Free Survival Time
The primary objective will be to compare the anti-tumor activity of everolimus and sunitinib in subjects with mRCC with non-clear cell pathology, as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) following treatment initiation according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Progressive disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

- Diabetes mellitus with glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbgA1c) \> 10% despite therapy.
- A history of interstitial pneumonitis.
- Subjects with active autoimmune disorder(s) being treated with immunosuppressive agents within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.
