E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Disease Free Survival: (DFS), defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the first date of recurrence or the occurrence of a secondary malignancy or death. The primary DFS analysis will be based on independent blinded third-party review. A secondary analysis of DFS will be based on the local investigator assessment. Recurrence refers to relapse of the primary tumor in situ or at metastatic sites. The date of recurrence or the occurrence of a secondary malignancy is defined as the date of the tumor assessment that demonstrated unequivocal recurrence or a second malignancy according to protocol criteria and is confirmed by independent, blinded third party review. For subjects with no DFS event, DFS time will be censored at the date of last disease assessment prior to the time of the final analysis. Subjects alive who do not have post baseline disease assessment will have their DFS times censored at randomization. For subjects receiving further anti tumor therapy prior to disease recurrence or occurrence of a secondary malignancy or death, DFS will be censored on the date of the last tumor assessment prior to taking the anti tumor medication. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Disease Free Survival: (DFS), time interval from the date of randomization to the first date of recurrence or occurrence of a secondary malignancy or death. For subjects with no DFS event, DFS time censored at date of last disease assessment prior to time for final analysis. Subjects alive who do not have post baseline disease assessment will have their DFS times censored at randomization. For subjects receiving further anti tumor therapy prior to disease recurrence or occurrence of a secondary malignancy or death, DFS will be censored on the date of the last tumor assessment prior to taking the anti tumor medication. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Overall Survival (OS), defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. In the absence of confirmation of death, survival time will be censored at the last date the subject is known to be alive. Subjects lacking data beyond randomization will have their survival times censored at randomization.
• Type, severity (graded by the National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] Version 3.0 dated 09 August 2006), seriousness, and relatedness of adverse events, and laboratory abnormalities;
• Patient reported outcomes (PROs), defined as health related quality of life using the self administered European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and health status using the EuroQoL Group EQ-5D questionnaire (EQ-5D). The questionnaires will be completed on Day 1 or approximately every 6 weeks, prior to having any tests or receiving any treatment up to the end of study treatment with sunitinib or placebo. |

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1- Overall Survival (OS) time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
End of Trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it is deemed that sufficient subjects have been recruited and completed the trial as stated in the regulatory application (ie, Clinical Trial Application (CTA)) and ethics application in the Member State. Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated number in the CTA) by a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but is considered a normal conclusion to the trial in that Member State. |
