What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Benefit Response Rate (CBR)

    CBR rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR), confirmed partial response (PR) ,or stable disease (SD) ≥ 24 weeks.

    Based on RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and PR is defined as a greater than or equal to 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesion. SD is defined neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum longest dimensions since the treatment started.

    Measured: Up to 799 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed CR or confirmed PR. Based on the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST), CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and PR is defined as a greater than or equal to 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesion.

    Measured: Up to 799 days of treatment

  2. Tumor Shrinkage

    Tumor shrinkage is defined as the percent change from baseline for the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions in participants.

    Measured: Up to 799 days of treatment

  3. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from registration to first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to 799 days of treatment

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from registration to documentation of death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to 3 years from the last subject registration to the study

  5. Dose-corrected Trough Plasma Concentrations of Sunitinib, SU012662 and Total Drug (Sunitinib + SU012662).

    Reference dose is 37.5 mg. Dose-corrected concentration is calculated from the following formula, "observed concentration multiplied by 37.5" over "actual dose".

    SU012662 is an active metabolite of sunitinib.

    Measured: Predose of Cycle 1 Day15, Cycle 2 Day1, Cycle 3 Day1, and Cycle 4 Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib in people with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Pfizer at 4 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Benefit Response Rate (CBR) (time frame: Up to 799 days of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01121562, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jun 2014.
