Clinical Trial Summary

This study is being conducted to provide a direct comparison of the efficacy, safety, and tolerabilityfor pazopanib and sunitinib (SUTENT) in the Asian population.

Description:

The study is designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of pazopanib versus sunitinib for the treatment of Asian subjects with locally advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) enrolled from selected Far-East Asian countries. The primary objective is to evaluate the primary endpoint progression free survival in the enrolled Asian subjects treated with pazopanib versus those treated with sunitinib. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the following secondary endpoints in each treatment arm: objective response rate, duration of response, time to response, overall survival and safety. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 800mg pazopanib to be administered once daily orally continuous dosing or 50mg sunitinib to be administered in 6-week cycles: 50mg orally daily for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks off treatment. Subjects are permitted to receive supportive care throughout the study including transfusion of blood and blood products, treatment with antibiotics, anti-emetics, anti-diarrheal agents, analgesics, erythropoietin, or bisphosphonates, when appropriate. The study treatment will continue until subjects experience disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdraw consent, or death.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression-free Survival (PFS)	PFS is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the earliest date of progressive disease (PD), as defined by the Independent Review Committee (IRC), or death due to any cause. The IRC defined PD per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1. Per RECIST, PD is defined as a >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter (LD) recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of >=1 new lesion. Participants who had neither progressed nor died were censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment at the time of the cut-off.	From randomization to the earliest date of disease progression or death (up to 39 months)
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS)	OS is defined as the time from randomization until death due to any cause. Participants who had not died were censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment at the time of the cut-off.	From randomization until death (up to 44 months)
Secondary	Number of Participants With a Best Response of Confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Confirmed Partial Response (PR) as Assessed by the IRC	The number of participants with evidence of CR (the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph node must be less than 10 millimeters [mm] in the short axis) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters [LD] of target lesions, taking as a reference the Baseline sum LD) was evaluated by an independent review per RECIST, Version 1.	From Baseline until the time of response or the earliest date of disease progression/death (up to 39 months)
Secondary	Time to Response	Time to response is defined as the time from the start of treatment until the first documented evidence of confirmed CR (the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph node must be less than 10 mm in the short axis) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as a reference the Baseline sum LD), whichever comes first. CR and PR were evaluated by an independent review per RECIST, Version 1.	From Baseline until the time of response or the earliest date of disease progression/death (up to 39 months)
Secondary	Duration of Response (DOR)	DOR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of confirmed response (CR or PR) until the first documented sign of disease progression (a >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of >=1 new lesion) or death, if sooner. CR=the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph node must be less than 10 mm in the short axis. PR=at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as a reference the Baseline sum LD.	From the time of response until the earliest date of disease progression/death (up to 38 months)
