Progression Free Survival (PFS) |
PFS was defined as the time from when the participant received the first dose of sunitinib to the time of progression or death due to any cause, which occurred first. The time of progression was the date of the first tumor assessment where the progression was notified as response to therapy, over the sunitinib treatment. Participants who discontinued the study for any reason, including unacceptable toxicity during the treatment period, who remained alive and without disease progression, were censored at the last disease assessment that verified lack of disease progression. As per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters [mm]) in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference smallest sum of the longest dimensions recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. |
From date of first dose of sunitinib to date of progression or death or censored date, whichever occurred first (up to maximum of 36 months) |
|
Primary |
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) |
TTF was defined as the time from when the participant received the first dose of sunitinib to the time of sunitinib discontinuation (date completed by the physician). In case of death when the participant was still treated with sunitinib, date of death was considered as date of discontinuation. If no sunitinib discontinuation was reported during the follow-up visits, participants were censored to the last follow-up visit. |
From date of first dose of sunitinib until the date of discontinuation or censored date (up to maximum of 36 months) |

Secondary |
Objective Response Rate (ORR) at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 |
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST version 1.1. As per RECIST 1.1 criteria: CR = disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (<)10 mm. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm short axis); PR = at least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference baseline sum diameters. |

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Symptom Index-19 (FKSI-19) Total Scores |
The FKSI-19 is a disease-specific instrument that assessed symptoms of importance in renal cancer participants. It consisted of 4 subscales (FKSI-Disease Related Symptoms [DRS]-Physical [P]-12 items, FKSI-DRS-Emotional [E]-1 item, treatment side effects [TSE]-3 items, functional wellbeing [FWB]-3 items). Participants were required to respond to a total of 19 questions regarding symptoms, side effects and wellbeing on a 5-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The total FKSI scores were calculated as the sum of the item responses divided by the number of items completed multiplied by the total number of items in the scale and ranged from 0 (severely symptomatic) to 76 (asymptomatic), where higher scores indicated better health. |

It consisted of 4 subscales (FKSI-DRS-P: 12 items, FKSI-DRS-E: 1 item, TSE: 3 items, FWB: 3 items). Participants were required to respond to the items in each subscale on a 5-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The FKSI subscale scores were calculated as the sum of item responses divided by the number of items completed multiplied by the total number of items in the subscale and ranged from 0 (severely symptomatic) to 48 (asymptomatic) for FKSI-DRS-P, 0 (severely symptomatic) to 4 (asymptomatic) for FKSI-DRS-E and 0 (severely symptomatic) to 12 (asymptomatic) for TSE and FWB; higher scores indicated better health. |
