Sutent Rechallenge In mRCC Patients

The PFS was defined as the time interval between the start date of treatment and the date of progression as assessed by the investigator or date of death occurring after treatment initiation, whichever occurred first. Duration of progression free survival= [(Date of mRCC progression - Start date of the treatment) + 1)]/ 365.25 x 12. Progression was defined as an increase in visible disease.

Duration of progression free survival= [(Date of mRCC progression - Start date of the treatment) + 1)]/ 365.25 x 12. Progression was defined as an increase in visible disease. Second-line treatment were divided in two groups: Group A (received treatment with: bevacizumab (with interferon), bevacizumab (without interferon), sorafenib, axitinib) and Group B (received treatment with: temsirolimus, everolimus).

Overall survival of patients under treatment was evaluated by calculating the time between date of initiation of treatment (1st line) and date of death, if the latter occurred before the end of the study. Duration of Overall Survival =(Date of death - Start date of treatment) + 1)/365.25 x 12.

Percentage of participants with objective response based assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis <10 mm). No new lesions. PR was defined as >=30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. Percentage of participants with objective response was calculated for the 1st-line of therapy with Sunitinib, Sunitinib re-challenge and for retreatment with Sunitinib as 3rd-line of therapy or more.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs include both serious as well as non-serious AEs. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
