1.Patients with metastatic / advanced RCC (all histologies), who are not suitable for cytokine therapy and for whom study medication constitutes first-line therapy
2.Age > 18 years
3.ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
4.MSKCC prognostic score, low or intermediate
5.Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
6.Subjects with at least one uni-dimensional (for RECIST) measurable lesion. Lesions must be measured by CT/MRI-scan.
7.Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to start of therapy:
- Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dl
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/mm3
- Platelet count ? 100,000/µl
- Total bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
- ALT and AST < 2.5 x upper limit of normal (< 5 x upper limit of normal
for patients with liver involvement of their cancer)
- Alkaline phosphatase < 4 x upper limit of normal
- PT-INR/PT < 1.5 x upper limit of normal [Patients who are being
therapeutically anticoagulated with an agent such as coumadin or
heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of
underlying abnormality in these parameters exists.]
- Serum creatinine < 1.5 x upper limit of normal.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Primary:<br>To evaluate if progression-free survival from randomization to progression or death during second-line therapy (total PFS) of sorafenib followed by sunitinib is at least as effective as sunitinib followed by sorafenib;Secondary Objective: Secondary:<br>1. Time from randomization to progression during second-line therapy (total TTP)<br>2. Time to first-line treatment failure (progression, death, discontinuation due to toxicity) descriptively in each arm<br>3. PFS in first-line and second-line treatment, descriptively<br>4. Overall survival, descriptively (data cut-off same as for primary endpoint)<br>5. Disease Control Rate (DCR); Response rates in first-line and in second-line (CR, PR, SD according to RECIST criteria)<br>6. Cardiotoxicity analysis by means of echocardiography and NT-pro BNP with an interim analysis after 100 patients of each arm have completed the study<br>7. Safety and tolerability;Primary end point(s): total Progression Free Survival
