Brief summary

To investigate objective tumor response of AG-013736 for metastatic Renal Cell Cancer (mRCC)

Interventions

AG-013736 5 mg BID will be administered orally on continuous schedule. Cycle length is 28 days. If the drug is well tolerated at 5 mg BID, the dose of AG-013736 may be titrated to 7 mg BID and then to a maximum of 10 mg BID. Number of cycles: until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.

CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions and no appearance of new lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of the targeted lesions. CR and PR had to be documented on 2 occasions separated by at least 4 weeks.

Duration of ResponseStart of first confirmed CR or PR to the date of the first event (PD or death) or the last tumor assessment, whichever came first, assessed up to 1709 days.Time in months from the first documentation of objective tumor response to objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. Duration of tumor response was calculated as (the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to cancer minus the date of the first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 30.44. DR was calculated for the subgroup of participants with a confirmed objective tumor response.

AG-013736
The starting dose of AG-013736 was 5 mg twice daily (BID), which was administered orally at approximately 12 hours apart in cycles of 4 weeks (28 days). The treatment is to be continued until the participants meet the discontinuation criteria such as disease progression or intolerable toxicity. The dose of AG-013736 could be titrated to 7 mg BID, and then 10 mg BID or reduced to 3 mg BID, and then 2 mg BID depending on the grade, type, and causality of adverse events experienced.
