Authors' objectives:

To assess the efficacy, safety and efficiency of everolimus for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, in whom the disease has progressed during or after treatment with a therapy targeting the VEGF.

Authors' recommendations: Everolimus is a generally well-tolerated drug that has been proven to reduce the risk of progression in patients with clear cell RCC and good health status whose prior treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors has failed.
