Brief summary
BKM-120 is a drug that may slow the growth of cancer cells. This drug has been used in laboratory experiments and information from those research studies suggests that this drug may help to slow the growth of renal cancer cells. In this research study, the investigators are testing the safety to BKM-120 at different dose levels. The investigators will also be studying how well tolerated BKM-120 is, and how effective BKM-120 can be in the treatment of kidney cancer.
Detailed description
Subjects will receive an intravenous infusion of Avastin on Day 1 and Day 15 of each month (cycle). Subjects will take a daily oral dose of BKM-120 at the dose level assigned. Subjects will have a clinic visit weekly during Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle for blood tests and physical exam.
Interventions
BKM-120 60, 80, 100 mg PO QD Bevacizumab 10 mg/Kg every 2 weeks

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicities of the combination of BKM-120 and bevacizumab in metastatic renal cell carcinoma | 2 year |
