Brief summary

Determine time-to-progression (TTP) for an escalating dose schedule for subjects with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with sorafenib

Detailed description

Sorafenib to be administered as 28-day cycles. Sorafenib dose escalation by cycle is: * Cycle 1: 400 mg BID * Cycle 2: 600 mg BID * Cycle 3+: 800 mg BID Within subject dose escalation and maximum dose is dependent on observed tolerability. Dose escalation only occurs after acceptable tolerability is demonstrated by subject.
