Brief summary

To assess progression-free survival at the combination dose determined in the Phase 1 portion of the study, and safety of sunitinib combined with exemestane in patients with metastatic or locally-recurrent, unresectable breast cancer.

Detailed description

The trial was terminated prematurely on August 28, 2008 due to the inability to recruit the planned number of subjects in order to provide meaningful efficacy data. There were no safety concerns regarding the study in the decision to terminate the trial.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or deathPFS was defined as the time from enrollment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death on study due to any cause, whichever occurred first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. PFS was to be calculated as (first event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response (OR) According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)OR=from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Complete response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR)= ? 30% decrease in sum of longest dimensions of lesions taking as reference baseline sum longest dimensions. Progressive disease (PD)= ? 20% increase in sum of longest dimensions of lesions taking as reference smallest sum of the longest dimensions since treatment started, or appearance of ? 1 new lesion. Stable disease (SD)=neither shrinkage for PR or increase for PD taking as reference smallest sum of longest dimensions since treatment start.
Duration of Response (DR)From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or death due to cancerDR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death on study. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. DR was to be calculated as (the end date for DR - first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed +1)/7.
Overall Survival (OS)From start of study treatment until deathOS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to date of death due to any cause. OS was to be calculated as (the event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.
Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)TTP was defined as the time from enrollment to first documentation of objective tumor progression. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. TTP was to be calculated as (first event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)The clinical benefit rate (CBR) was the measure for clinical benefit (CB) and was defined as the percent of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, or confirmed SD according to RECIST, relative to the total analysis population. CRs were those that persisted on repeat imaging study ?4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

Outcome results

Primary

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS was defined as the time from enrollment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death on study due to any cause, whichever occurred first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. PFS was to be calculated as (first event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.

Time frame: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or death

Population: Intent-To-Treat (ITT) = all subjects who were enrolled in the trial. Data were not analyzed due to early termination.

Secondary

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

The clinical benefit rate (CBR) was the measure for clinical benefit (CB) and was defined as the percent of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, or confirmed SD according to RECIST, relative to the total analysis population. CRs were those that persisted on repeat imaging study ?4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

Time frame: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)

Population: ITT. Data were not analyzed due to early termination.

Secondary

Duration of Response (DR)

DR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death on study. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. DR was to be calculated as (the end date for DR - first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed +1)/7.

Time frame: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or death due to cancer

Population: Analyses on DR were to be performed for overall responders only. Data were not analyzed due to early termination.

Secondary

Overall Response (OR) According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

OR=from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Complete response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR)= ? 30% decrease in sum of longest dimensions of lesions taking as reference baseline sum longest dimensions. Progressive disease (PD)= ? 20% increase in sum of longest dimensions of lesions taking as reference smallest sum of the longest dimensions since treatment started, or appearance of ? 1 new lesion. Stable disease (SD)=neither shrinkage for PR or increase for PD taking as reference smallest sum of longest dimensions since treatment start.

Time frame: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)

Population: Analyses on OR were performed for subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication.
