A Pivotal Study Of SU011248 In The Treatment Of Patients With Cytokine-Refractory Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Overall confirmed objective response = confirmed Complete Response (CR) or confirmed Partial Response (PR) according to RECIST. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR defined as >= 30 percent decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum longest dimensions.

Time in weeks from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to cancer, whichever comes first. TTP was calculated as (first event date minus the date of first dose of study medication plus 1) divided by 7. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease [PD]).

Time in weeks from the first documentation of objective tumor response to objective tumor progression or death due to any cancer. Duration of tumor response was calculated as (the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to cancer minus the date of the first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 7.

DR was calculated for the subgroup of patients with a confirmed objective tumor response.

Time in weeks from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. OS was calculated as (the death date minus the date of first dose of study medication plus 1) divided by 7. Death was determined from adverse event data (where outcome was death) or from follow-up contact data (where the subject current status was death).

Time in weeks from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. PFS was calculated as (first event date minus the date of first dose of study medication plus 1) divided by 7. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease [PD]), or from adverse event (AE) data (where the outcome was "Death").

Probability of survival 1 year and 2 years after the first dose of study treatment

Observed plasma trough (predose) (Cmin) concentrations of sunitinib

Observed plasma trough (predose) (Cmin) concentrations of sunitinib metabolite (SU012662)

Observed plasma trough (predose) concentrations of sunitinib plus its metabolite (SU012662)

Dose corrected plasma trough (predose) (Cmin) concentrations of sunitinib. Dose-corrected trough concentrations were set to missing for trough samples collected outside acceptable times from dose administration, samples not collected within scheduled day range, samples with missing collection or administration dates or times, samples collected with dose interruption, and samples collected with inconsistent dose level within 10 days of last dose date.
