Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - lenvatinib
Treatment: Drugs - everolimus

Experimental: Lenvatinib 14 mg plus everolimus 5 mg - Participants will receive oral lenvatinib 14 mg once daily (QD) plus oral everolimus 5 mg QD as the starting dose for Cycle 1. If there are no intolerable Grade 2 or any >= Grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that require dose reduction in the first 28-day cycle (that is, the first 4 weeks of treatment), the lenvatinib dose will be escalated to 18 mg QD (plus everolimus 5 mg) beginning in Cycle 2 or later (cycle length equal to [=] 28 days) during randomization phase. After the data cutoff for the primary analysis, participants will receive study treatment as continuous 56-day cycles.

Experimental: Lenvatinib 18 mg plus everolimus 5 mg - Participants will receive oral lenvatinib 18 mg QD plus oral everolimus 5 mg QD as the starting dose in Cycle 1 or later (cycle length =28 days) during randomization phase. After the data cutoff for the primary analysis, participants will receive study treatment as continuous 56-day cycles.

- The lesion is suitable for repeat measurement using computerized
tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI). Lesions that have had external
beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or locoregional therapy must show radiographic evidence
of disease progression based on RECIST 1.1 to be deemed a target lesion.

Key exclusion criteria
- More than 1 prior VEGF-targeted treatment for advanced RCC

- Participants with Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases are not eligible, unless
they have completed local therapy for at least 4 weeks and have discontinued the use
of corticosteroids for this indication or are on a tapering regimen of corticosteroids

Any signs (example, radiologic) or symptoms of brain metastases must be stable for at
least 4 weeks before starting study treatment.

- Active malignancy (except for RCC or definitively treated basal or squamous cell
carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix or bladder) within the past
24 months

investigational agent within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug;
participants should have recovered from any toxicity related to previous anti-cancer
treatment to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) grade 0 or 1.

- Prior radiation therapy within 21 days prior to the start of study treatment with the
exception of palliative radiotherapy to bone lesions, which is allowed if completed 2
weeks prior to study treatment start

- Known intolerance to study drug (or any of the excipients) and/or known
hypersensitivity to rapamycins (example, sirolimus, everolimus, temsirolimus) or any
of the excipients

- Participants with proteinuria greater than (>) 1+ on urinalysis will undergo 24-hour
urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria. Participants with urine
protein >=1 g/24 hour will be ineligible.

- Fasting total cholesterol ?300 mg/dL (or ?7.75 millimoles [mmol]/L) and/or fasting
triglycerides level ?2.5* the ULN. Note: these participants can be included after

that might affect the absorption of lenvatinib or everolimus

- Bleeding or thrombotic disorders or participants at risk for severe hemorrhage. The
degree of tumor invasion/infiltration of major blood vessels (example, carotid artery)
should be considered because of the potential risk of severe hemorrhage associated
with tumor shrinkage/necrosis following lenvatinib therapy.

- Clinically significant hemoptysis or tumor bleeding within 2 weeks prior to the first
dose of study drug

- Significant cardiovascular impairment within 6 months prior to the first dose of study

positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß-hCG] (or human chorionic gonadotropin
[hCG]) test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 International Units per Liter [IU/L] or
equivalent units of ß-hCG [or hCG]). A separate baseline assessment is required if a
negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first
dose of study drug.

- Females of childbearing potential who (Note: all females will be considered to be of
childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal [amenorrheic for at least 12
consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, and without other known or suspected
cause] or have been sterilized surgically [that is, bilateral tubal ligation, total
hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before

- a contraceptive implant

- an oral contraceptive (with additional barrier method) (Note: Participants
must be on a stable dose of the same oral hormonal contraceptive product for
at least 4 weeks before dosing with study drug and for the duration of the
study.) OR

- do not have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia

For sites outside of the European Union, it is permissible that if a highly effective
method of contraception is not appropriate or acceptable to the participant, then the
participant must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception, that is,
double barrier methods of contraception, such as condom plus diaphragm or cervical/vault
cap with spermicide.

Summary
Brief summary
Study E7080-G000-218 is a Randomized, open-label (formerly Double-blind), Phase 2 Trial
conducted to assess whether a starting dose of lenvatinib 14 milligrams (mg) in combination
with everolimus 5 mg once daily (QD) will provide comparable efficacy (based on objective
response rate [ORR] at 24 weeks [ORR24W]) with an improved safety profile compared to
lenvatinib 18 mg in combination with everolimus 5 mg (based on treatment-emergent intolerable
Grade 2, or any greater than or equal to (>=) Grade 3 adverse events (AEs) in the first 24
weeks after randomization).
