Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To demonstrate improved tolerability of sunitinib using TDM based dosing strategy compared to standard dosing strategy. Co-primary objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of TDM based dosing strategy compared to standard dosing strategy in terms of progression free survival(PFS) Timepoint: 12 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the Overall survival (time of sunitinib started till death due to any cause) between the standard dosing regimen versus TDM based approach. 2. Cost analysis of therapeutic drug monitoring in individualizing sunitinib therapy. 3. To compare the quality of life of patients on TDM based individualized dosing of sunitinib versus standard dosing regimen of sunitinib. Timepoint: 12 months
