The PK evaluable participants were divided into 2 PK subgroups on Day 28 of Cycle 1: those with total drug (sunitinib + SU012662) trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) value less than (\<) the median Ctrough value(lower exposure) and those with total drug (sunitinib + SU012662) Ctrough values greater than or equal to (\>=) the median Ctrough value(higher exposure).

SecondaryPearson Correlation Coefficient Between Percent Change From Baseline in Laboratory Parameters With Total Drug (Sunitinib + SU012662) Concentration

Pearson correlation coefficient between percent change from baseline in laboratory parameters with total drug (Sunitinib + SU012662) concentration were calculated on Day 28 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3. Laboratory parameters included absolute neutrophil count, platelet count, lymphocyte count and hemoglobin.

Pearson correlation coefficient between percent change from baseline in vital sign results with total drug (Sunitinib + SU012662) concentration were calculated on Day 28 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3. Vital signs included systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Stable Disease (SD), Partial Response (PR), Complete Response (CR) and Progressive Disease (PD) for PK Sub-groups

SD:when there is no sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. PR: as at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum longest dimensions, with non-target lesions not increased or absent. CR: disappearance of all lesions (target and non-target). PD:at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). Participants with SD, PR, CR and PD responses were assessed according to 2 PK subgroups created on Day 28 of Cycle 1: those with total drug (sunitinib + SU012662) trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) value less than (\<) the median Ctrough value(lower exposure) and those with total drug (sunitinib + SU012662) Ctrough values greater than or equal to (\>=) the median Ctrough value(higher exposure).

Time frame:

SecondaryProgression Free Survival for PK Subgroups

Progression free survival was defined as time (in months) from date of enrollment to the first documentation of disease progression or to death (due to any cause), whichever occurred first. Progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). The PK evaluable participants were assessed according to 2 PK subgroups created on Day 28 of Cycle 1: those with total drug (sunitinib + SU012662) trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) value less than (\<) the median Ctrough value(lower exposure) and those with total drug (sunitinib + SU012662) Ctrough values greater than or equal to (\>=) the median Ctrough value(higher exposure).

Pearson correlation coefficient between Progression Free Survival (PFS) with total drug (Sunitinib + SU012662) concentration at Day 28 of Cycle 1 was calculated. PFS was defined as time (in months) from date of enrolment to the first documentation of disease progression or to death (due to any cause), whichever occurred first. Progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study).
