Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a companion protocol to MD Anderson Cancer Center study 2010-0085 (Sequential Therapy in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Therapy: The "START" Trial). The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if dynamic contrast enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) scans can help researchers learn if the study drug received as part of study 2010-0085 (either everolimus, bevacizumab, or pazopanib) is working.
