Summary

This study tests two drugs, pazopanib and bevacizumab, given one after the other in people with advanced kidney cancer that has spread. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well the combination works. About 51 patients who have not had prior treatment will take part. The drugs work by blocking blood flow to tumors and stopping cancer cell growth.
