Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The objective of this study is to make BAY 43-9006 (sorafenib) available for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), who failed prior systemic therapy for advanced disease (i. e., require second-line treatment), and who do not have access to or are not eligible for other clinical trials with BAY 43-9006. In addition, safety data and limited efficacy data will be collected.

Patients will be treated with 400 mg oral BAY 43-9006 twice a day. Patients in this protocol may continue to be treated with BAY 43-9006 as a single agent until any of the following criteria for drug or protocol discontinuation is reached:

a. Progression of disease.
b. The patient is unlikely to benefit from further treatment with BAY 43-9006 as judged by the Investigator.
c. Intolerable toxicity of the drug.
d. Withdrawal of consent for any reason.

It is the intention to continue to recruit patients into the protocol until BAY 43-9006 is registered within Australia by the TGA. Patients, who are enrolled in this study at the time point, when BAY 43-9006 is approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), will continue to be treated in this study.
