Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the tumor response rate of sunitinib in patients with advanced or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium which failed or progressed after first line chemotherapy.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate: 1. Safety (NCI CTC) 2. Time to response, duration of response 3. Tumor imaging in contrast-enhanced color Doppler ultrasonography (optional) 4. Progression free survival 5. Overall survival ;Primary end point(s): The determination of antitumor efficacy will be based on objective tumor assessments made according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) system of unidimensional evaluation (see Appendix 4).
