Carcinoma, Renal Cell

Brief summary

The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the LPD (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3)factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.

Detailed description

All the patients whom an investigator prescribes the first sunitinib malate(Sutent) should be registered.

Interventions

DRUGsunitinib malate

SUTENT® Capsule 12.5 mg, depending on the Investigator prescription. Frequency and duration are according to Package Insert as follows. The usual adult dosage for oral sunitinib is 50 mg once daily, 4 weeks on followed by 2 weeks off (Schedule 4/2). This comprises 1 treatment cycle, which may be repeated. The dosage may be decreased according to the patient's clinical condition.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse EventsMAX 2 YearsA treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to sunitinib malate in a participant who received sunitinib malate. Relatedness to sunitinib malate was assessed by the investigator and sponsor (Pfizer Japan Inc.).
Objective Response RateMAX 2 YearsPercentage of participants with objective response per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST V1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR),\>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesion; Overall Response(OR) = CR + PR. The result was presented along with the corresponding exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI).
