What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Angiomyolipoma Response Rate as Per Central Radiology Review

    Angiomyolipoma response defined as the combination of the following criteria: reduction in angiomyolipoma volume of ≥ 50% relative to baseline, where angiomyolipoma volume was sum of volumes of all target lesions identified at baseline, and with a confirmatory scan performed approximately 12 weeks later (no sooner than 8 weeks later); no new angiomyolipoma lesions ≥ 1.0 cm in longest diameter were identified; there were no kidney increases in volume \> 20% from nadir. The patient did not have any angiomyolipoma-related bleeding of ≥ grade 2. For the everolimus (core/extension periods) treatment group, the baseline means the latest value on or before starting everolimus.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the earliest date of first documented AML progression, date of further anti-AML medication (including open-label Everolimus)/surgery or up to 5.7 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Angiomyolipoma Progression as Per Central Radiology Review

    Time to angiomyolipoma progression (TTAP) is defined as time from date of randomization to date of first documented angiomyolipoma progression. Angiomyolipoma progression was defined as one or more of the following: Increase from nadir of ≥ 25% in angiomyolipoma volume to value greater than baseline; the appearance of a new angiomyolipoma ≥ 1.0 cm in longest diameter; an increase from nadir of 20% or more in the volume of either kidney to a value greater than baseline; angiomyolipoma-related bleeding grade ≥ 2. For the everolimus (core/extension periods) treatment group, the time to angiomyolipoma progression is defined starting from the start of everolimus. The baseline means the latest value on or before starting everolimus.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the earliest date of first documented AML progression, date of further anti-AML medication (including open-label Everolimus)/surgery or up to about 5.7 years

  2. Skin Lesion Response Rate as Per Investigator (Only Patients With at Least One Skin Lesion at Baseline)

    Skin lesion response rate in the double-blind period was determined only among patients with at least one skin lesion at baseline, and is the percentage of this group of patients with a best overall skin lesion response on the Physician's Global Assessment of Clinical Condition (PGA) of either complete clinical response (CCR) or partial response (PR). A complete clinical response (CCR) requires a grading of 0 indicating the absence of disease (histological confirmation is not required). Grades 1, 2, and 3 constitute partial response, indicating improvement of at least 50 percent, but less than 100 percent improvement. For the everolimus (core/extension periods) treatment group, the baseline means the latest value on or before starting everolimus.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Renal Impairment

    Renal Impairment was measured by glomerular filtration rate which was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Percentage of participants with renal impairment was reported. Severe renal impairment was defined as a GFR of \<30ml/min/1.73m2.

    Time frame: Day 1 up to 28 days after end of treatment

  4. Change From Baseline in Plasma Angiogenic Molecules - Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Marker

    Blood samples for biomarker assessment were collected immediately prior to study administration. On-treatment samples was compared to baseline samples with the change from baseline.

  5. Everolimus Trough Concentrations (Cmin)

    Cmin values collected prior to dose administration on the same study day and at 20-28 hours after previous dose, at steady state, and patient did not vomit within 4 hours of previous dose. Samples collected during the first 4 days of dosing were excluded from all analyses.

    Time frame: Prior to dosing at weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, 48

  6. Everolimus Blood Concentrations (C2h) at 2 Hours Post-dose

    C2h values collected 1-3 hours after dose administration on the same study day, at steady state, and patient did not vomit between taking previous dose and blood collection. Samples collected during the first 4 days of dosing will be excluded from all analyses.

    Time frame: 2 hours post-dose administration at Weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, 48

  7. Time to Angiomyolipoma Response - Only Everolimus Patients With Angiomyolipoma Response

    Time to angiomyolipoma response was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the first documented angiomyolipoma response.

For the everolimus (core/extension periods) treatment group, the time to angiomyolipoma response is from the start of everolimus. The baseline in the response definition means the latest value on or before starting everolimus.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the earliest date of first documented AML progression, date of further anti-AML medication (including open-label Everolimus)/surgery or up to 5.7 years

  8. Duration of Angiomyolipoma Response - Only Everolimus Patients With Angiomyolipoma Response

    Duration of angiomyolipoma response was defined as the time from the date of the first documented angiomyolipoma response until the date of the first documented angiomyolipoma progression . Angiomyolipoma response was defined as the combination of the following criteria: reduction in angiomyolipoma volume of ≥ 50% relative to baseline, where angiomyolipoma volume was sum of volumes of all target lesions identified at baseline, and with a confirmatory scan performed approximately 12 weeks later (no sooner than 8 weeks later); no new angiomyolipoma lesions ≥ 1.0 cm in longest diameter were identified; there were no kidney increases in volume \> 20% from nadir.

Posted Aug 28, 2012

Participant flow

A multicenter trial conducted at 24 sites in 11 countries. As the primary analysis of the core phase of the study favored everolimus over placebo, an open-label extension phase started: patients randomized in placebo were offered to switch on everolimus and those still receiving everolimus at the end of the core phase could continue the treatment.
