Study summary

This is a multi-national, phase II, single arm study to explore the safety/efficacy and potential biomarkers on sunitinib 2/1 schedule for Asian patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Sunitinib 50mg daily on 4/2 dose schedule has been established as standard of care (SOC) for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, Asian patients in real world experienced grade III/IV adverse events much more than expected. This multi-national, phase II, single arm study is going to explore more on the safety/efficacy and relevant biomarkers on sunitinib 2/1 dose schedule in Asian people with advanced RCC.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability)

    To evaluate the safety and tolerance of sunitinib two weeks on, one week off for advanced renal cell carcinoma

    Time frame: 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    to evaluate the best response rate of sunitinib 2/1 schedule

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. progression free survival (PFS)

    to evaluate the progression-free survival of sunitinib 2/1 schedule

    Time frame: 24 months

  3. patient reported outcome (PRO)

    to evaluate the change of quality of life with sunitinib 2/1 schedule

    Time frame: 24 months

Other outcomes

  1. single nuclear polymorphism

    to explore the relationship between select SNP associated with sunitinib 2/1 schedule

    Time frame: 24 months
