Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Percentage of Participants With Objective ResponseBaseline up to disease progression, death, or withdrawal; performed at baseline and repeated every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks.ORR was defined as the proportion of participants with objective response based assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. No new lesions. PR was defined as \>=30% decrease on study under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Response (DR)Baseline up to disease progression, death, or withdrawal; performed at baseline and repeated every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeksDR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (complete response - CR or Partial response - PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. The median values were estimated based on Kaplan-Meier method. 95% confidence interval was based on the Brookmeyer and Crowley method.
Overall Survival (OS)Baseline up to disease progression, death, or withdrawal; performed at baseline and repeated every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks.OS was defined as the time from date of the first dose of the study medication to date of death due to any cause. For participants who did not die, their survival times were to be censored at the last date they were known to be alive.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 49 centers in Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, Russian Federation, Spain, and the United States (US).

Pre-assignment details

Participants were enrolled in a 4-week lead-in period, during which they received axitinib 5 milligram (mg) twice a day (BID). After the lead-in period, participants meeting randomization criteria were then randomized to one of the two treatment arms. Participants, not meeting criteria, continued study without dose titration (non-randomized arm).

Participants by arm

Active Titration Arm
Participants initially received axitinib 5 mg twice a day (BID) + axitinib (blinded therapy) 2 mg BID. After at least 2 consecutive weeks, participants satisfying the dose titration criteria had their dose level increased by one additional dose level, to axitinib 5 mg BID + axitinib (blinded therapy) 5 mg BID, unless otherwise contraindicated per the investigator's clinical judgment. The maximum total daily dose was 10 mg BID (axitinib 5mg BID + axitinib \[blinded therapy\] 5 mg BID).

Placebo Titration Arm
Participants initially received axitinib 5mg BID + placebo (blinded therapy) 2 mg BID. After at least 2 consecutive weeks, participants satisfying the dose titration criteria had their dose level increased by one additional dose level, to axitinib 5 mg BID + placebo (blinded therapy) 5 mg BID, unless otherwise contraindicated per the investigator's clinical judgment. The maximum total daily dose was 10 mg BID (axitinib 5mg BID + placebo \[blinded therapy\] 5 mg BID).

ORR was defined as the proportion of participants with objective response based assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. No new lesions. PR was defined as \>=30% decrease on study under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions.

Time frame: Baseline up to disease progression, death, or withdrawal; performed at baseline and repeated every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks.

Population: The Full Analysis (FA) population included all randomized participants who received study drug or different drug to which they were randomized. The Safety Analysis (SA) population included all non-randomized patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication with treatment assignments designated according to actual study treatment received.

Comparison of Circulating Endothelial Cells (CECs) in Blood: Cluster of Differentiation (CD)146+/CD105+ at Baseline

CECs are noninvasive marker of vascular damage, remodeling, and dysfunction. Samples were collected and following proteins were analyzed: CD146+/CD105+ CECs, CD146+/CD105+ mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-beta, CD146+/CD105+ MFI phospho-PDGFR (pPDGFR)-beta, CD146+/CD105+ phospho-Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (pVEGFR), CD146+/CD105+ MFI VEGFR. The ratio of plasma levels of the biomarkers at the selected time point vs baseline is reported.

Time frame: At baseline - Beginning of the lead-in period (Cycle 1 Day 1)

Population: The Biomarker Analysis Set included participants receiving at least one dose of treatment, with a Cycle 1 Day 1 biomarker result for at least one biomarker.

Duration of Response (DR)

DR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (complete response - CR or Partial response - PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. The median values were estimated based on Kaplan-Meier method. 95% confidence interval was based on the Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

Time frame: Baseline up to disease progression, death, or withdrawal; performed at baseline and repeated every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks

Population: Subset of Full Analysis (FA) and Safety Analysis (SA) patients who achieved confirmed complete or partial response. FA included all randomized patients and was based on randomized treatment assignment regardless of whether or not study drug was administered. SA included all non randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication.

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Axitinib

Cmax for steady-state axitinib was evaluated on Cycle 2 Day 15. Results were normalized to axitinib 7 mg dose for active titration arm and axitinib 5 mg dose for placebo titration arm. Results were normalized to axitinib 7 mg dose for active titration arm and axitinib 5 mg dose for placebo titration arm.

Time frame: Cycle 2 Day 15 (C2D15): pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose

Population: The pharmacokinetic (PK) population included all participants who were treated and had at least 1 concentration on 1 PK assessment day. The PK parameter analysis data set included all participants treated who had at least 1 estimated PK parameter of primary interest.

Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2) for Axitinib

Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half. Plasma decay half life for steady-state axitinib was evaluated on Cycle 2 Day 15.

Time frame: C2D15: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose

Population: The pharmacokinetic (PK) population included all participants who were treated and had at least 1 concentration on 1 PK assessment day. The PK parameter analysis data set included all participants treated who had at least 1 estimated PK parameter of primary interest.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

The time from first dose administration to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause. PFS in each arm was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and estimates of the PFS curves from the Kaplan-Meier method were presented.

Time frame: Baseline up to disease progression, death, or withdrawal; performed at baseline and repeated every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks.

Population: The Full Analysis (FA) population included all randomized participants who received study drug or different drug to which they were randomized. The Safety Analysis (SA) population included all non-randomized patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication with treatment assignments designated according to actual study treatment received.
