Brief summary
This phase 2 trial is evaluating the antineoplastic activity of tivozanib (AV-951) in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic renal cell cancer. Tivozanib (AV-951) is a VEGF-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
Detailed description
Approximately 200 patients will be enroled into the initial, 16 week, open-label period using 1.5 mg/day dosing. Patients will receive tivozanib (AV-951) continuously for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off study drug. Patients will undergo disease assessment at baseline and after Cycles 2 and 4 and response will be determined by RESIST criteria. After the initial, 16 week open-label period, disease status will be assessed and compared to baseline using modified RECIST criteria: * Patients with greater than or equal to 25% tumor shrinkage will continue on their current dose of tivozanib (AV-951) * Patients with less than 25% tumor change (growth or shrinkage) will be randomly assigned to double-blind tivozanib (AV-951) or matching placebo for 12 weeks * Patients with greater than or equal to 25% tumor growth will be discontinued
Interventions
solid oral dosage form taken daily for three weeks per one month cycle
solid oral capsule containing excipients dosed daily for three weeks per month

| Percentage of Randomly Assigned Subjects Remaining Progression Free at 12 Weeks Following Random Assignment to Tivozanib (AV-951) or Placebo | 28 weeks after study entry | Percentages of subjects remaining progression-free at 12 weeks post-randomization were compared across the 2 treatment arms in the ITT population. A Cochran-Mantel- Haenszel (CMH) test of general association was used, stratifying by country to evaluate the null hypothesis that treatment arm is not associated with subjects remaining progression-free. Non-completers were treated as failures. Progression is defined using RECIST v1.0, as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. |

Percentage of Randomly Assigned Subjects Remaining Progression Free at 12 Weeks Following Random Assignment to Tivozanib (AV-951) or Placebo
Percentages of subjects remaining progression-free at 12 weeks post-randomization were compared across the 2 treatment arms in the ITT population. A Cochran-Mantel- Haenszel (CMH) test of general association was used, stratifying by country to evaluate the null hypothesis that treatment arm is not associated with subjects remaining progression-free.

Area Under the Serum Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to the Last Quantifiable Sampling Point [AUC(0→24)]
Tivozanib concentrations in human serum were determined. The PK population included all subjects who had taken at least 1 dose of tivozanib and whose PK profile(s) were evaluable. All subjects received 1.5 mg tivozanib (1.3397 mg free base) in Cycle 1.
