What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With Overall Confirmed Objective Disease Response According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Objective disease response = subjects with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST. A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. A PR was defined as a ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum longest dimensions.

    Measured: 4 week treatment cycles up to 1 year in absence of withdrawal criteria requiring discontinuation including 28 day post study follow up

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)

    TTP was defined as the time from the date of first dose of study medication to the date of the first documentation of tumor progression. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. TTP (in weeks) was calculated as (first event date minus first dose date +1)/7. Kaplan-Meier method was used.

    Measured: 4 week treatment cycles up to 1 year in absence of withdrawal criteria requiring discontinuation including 28 day post study follow up

  2. Duration of Response (DR)

    DR was defined as the time from start of the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to to any cause that occurred within 28 days after the last dose of study medication, whichever occurred first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. DR was only calculated for the subgroup of subjects with a confirmed objective response. DR was calculated as [the end date for DR minus first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed +1]/7. Kaplan-Meier method was used.

    Measured: 4 week treatment cycles up to 1 year in absence of withdrawal criteria requiring discontinuation including 28 day post study follow up

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. OS (in weeks) was calculated as [date of death minus first dose date +1]/7. For a subject not expiring, the OS time was censored on the last date of known contact that they were known to be alive. Subjects lacking data beyond the day of the first dose had their OS times censored at 1 day. Kaplan-Meier method was used.

    Measured: 4 week treatment cycles up to 1 year in absence of withdrawal criteria requiring discontinuation including 28 day post study follow up

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from start of study medication to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause that occurred on treatment including within 28 days after the last dose of study medication, whichever occurred first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. PFS (in weeks) was calculated as (first event date minus first dose date +1)/7. Kaplan-Meier method was used.

    Measured: 4 week treatment cycles up to 1 year in absence of withdrawal criteria requiring discontinuation including 28 day post study follow up

  5. Trough Plasma Concentrations (Cmin) of Sunitinib

    Measured: Day 28 of Cycle 1 to Cycle 4

  6. Trough Plasma Concentrations (Cmin) of SU012662

    Measured: Day 28 of Cycle 1 to Cycle 4

  7. Trough Plasma Concentrations (Cmin) of Total Drug (Sunitinib + SU012662)

    Measured: Day 28 of Cycle 1 to Cycle 4

  8. Plasma Concentration of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A)

    Plasma concentrations of VEGF-A that may be associated with tumor proliferation or angiogenesis collected from a subset of subjects were analyzed by ELISA analysis. Samples below the limit of quantitation and samples with insufficient volume available were excluded.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Days 1, 14, and 28), Cycle 2 (Day 1)

  9. Plasma Concentration of Soluble VEGF Receptor-3 (sVEGFR-3)

    Plasma concentrations of sVEGFR-3 that may be associated with tumor proliferation or angiogenesis collected from a subset of subjects were analyzed by ELISA analysis. Samples below the limit of quantitation and samples with insufficient volume available were excluded.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Days 1, 14, and 28), Cycle 2 (Day 1)

  10. Plasma Concentration of Placental Growth Factor (PlGF)

    Plasma concentrations of PlGF that may be associated with tumor proliferation or angiogenesis collected from a subset of subjects were analyzed by ELISA analysis. Samples below the limit of quantitation and samples with insufficient volume available were excluded.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Days 1, 14, and 28)

  11. Plasma Concentration of VEGF-C

    Plasma concentrations of VEGF-C that may be associated with tumor proliferation or angiogenesis collected from a subset of subjects were analyzed by ELISA analysis. Samples below the limit of quantitation and samples with insufficient volume available were excluded.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Days 1, 14, and 28)

  12. Plasma Concentration of Soluble VEGF Receptor-2(sVEGFR-2)

    Plasma concentrations of sVEGFR-2 that may be associated with tumor proliferation or angiogenesis collected from a subset of subjects were to have been analyzed by ELISA analysis; however, no data were collected.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by Pfizer at 11 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Dec 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects With Overall Confirmed Objective Disease Response According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (time frame: 4 week treatment cycles up to 1 year in absence of withdrawal criteria requiring discontinuation including 28 day post study follow up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2010.
