A Study Of SU011248 As Therapy In Patients With Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

PFS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective disease progression or to death on study due to any cause, whichever was first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. PFS (in weeks) was calculated as (first event date - first paclitaxel/carboplatin dose date +1)/7.02.

TTP was defined as the time from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective disease progression. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. TTP (in weeks) was calculated as (first event date - first paclitaxel/carboplatin dose date +1)/7.02.

DR=time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) that was subsequently confirmed to first documentation of objective disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever was first. CR=disappearance of all target lesions. PR=a > = 30% decrease in sum of longest dimensions of target lesions taking as a reference baseline sum longest dimensions. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, first date was used. DR (in weeks) was calculated as (the end date for DR - first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed +1)/7.02.

Objective disease response = subjects with confirmed CR or PR according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (Version 1.0). 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.

OS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to death due to any cause. OS (in months) was calculated as (date of death - date of paclitaxel/carboplatin first dose +1)/30.4. For subjects not expiring, their survival times were censored at the last date of known contact they were known to be alive. Subjects lacking data beyond the day of first dose of paclitaxel/carboplatin had their survival time censored at Day 1 of paclitaxel/carboplatin treatment.

Ctrough = the plasma concentration prior to study drug administration. On Day 28, this parameter provided and idea of the concentration at steady state since no big fluctuation was expected in a 24 hour interval.

Ctrough = the plasma concentration prior to study drug administration. Dose correction was made to the initial intended dose in Cycle 1. This was determined due to potential dose changes throughout the study in different subjects. It was calculated as the observed values multiplied by the reference dose (50 mg) divided by the actual dose. For dose-corrected trough concentration, only trough concentration values from subjects who received sunitinib during at least the last 10 consecutive days of dosing at the same dose level were included.

Concentration of VEGFR3 at baseline.

VEGFR3 concentration at each time point divided by VEGFR3 concentration at baseline (ratio to baseline).

Concentration of VEGF-C at baseline.

VEGF-C concentration at each time point divided by VEGF-C concentration at baseline (ratio to baseline).

Concentration of soluble E-Selectin at baseline.

Soluble E-Selectin concentration at each time point divided by soluble E-Selectin concentration at baseline (ratio to baseline).

Median concentration of VEGFR3 at baseline stratified by tumor response (CR or PR or [SD > = 6 Weeks] or PD). A measure of dispersion is not included because the Wilcoxon rank sum test is a nonparametric test that makes no assumptions about the distribution of the data (eg, normality).

Median VEGFR3 concentration at each time point divided by median VEGFR3 concentration at baseline (ratio to baseline) for subjects with tumor response (CR or PR or [SD > = 6 weeks] or PD).

PFS = time from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective disease progression or to death on study due to any cause, whichever was 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 sunitinib dose date +1)divided by 7.02. Groups are defined by < or > = median levels of VEGFR3 at Baseline and after Stratification by < or > = median changes from Baseline in VEGFR3 at each time point.

Previously collected tumor paraffin block (or 12-20 10-micron slides prepared for the paraffin block) for correlative laboratory analysis.

A blood sample (6 mL) was collected and used to isolate DNA. These samples were not anonymized.

EORTC QLQ-C30 scales: global health/QoL, functional domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), and symptom scales/items (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea). Recall period: past week; response range: not at all to very much, global/QOL range: very poor to excellent. Scale score range: 0 to 100. Higher functional/global QoL score = better functioning and higher symptom score = greater degree of symptoms. Change: score at each visit in Part 2 minus baseline score in Part 1.

QLQ-LC13 assessed lung cancer symptoms (dyspnea, coughing, dysphasia, hemoptysis, sore mouth, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, chest pain, arm pain, shoulder pain, and pain in other parts). Recall period: past week; response range: not at all to very much. Scale score range: 0 to 100. Higher symptom score = greater degree of symptoms. Change: score at each visit in Part 2 minus baseline score in Part 1.
