The primary objective of this protocol is to provide access to SU011248 treatment for patients with metastatic RCC who are ineligible for participation in ongoing SU011248 clinical studies and have the potential to derive clinical benefit from treatment with SU011248 based on the judgment of the investigator.

Given that an Expanded Access study does not meet the definition of a controlled clinical investigation, and as such, is not considered an applicable drug clinical trial per NIH, Basic Results for such studies are not required to be reported. Protocol A6181037 has been identified as an Expanded Access trial, and has been registered to ClinicalTrials.gov, however Basic Results will not be posted.
