E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-free survival (PFS): time from randomization date to date of disease progression per the modified RECIST criteria or death. Subjects not meeting criteria for progression by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |

|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Objective Response Rate (ORR): The incidence of either a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per modified RECIST criteria (responder). A confirmed CR requires 2 assessments of CR at least 28 days apart. A confirmed PR requires 2 assessments at least 28 days apart of PR or CR. All subjects that do not meet the criteria for an objective response by the analysis cutoff date will be considered non-responders.
• Duration of response (DOR): (calculated only for those subjects with an objective response) time from first confirmed objective response to disease progression or death due to any cause. Subjects not meeting criteria for progression by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.
• Change in continuous measures of tumor burden
• Time-adjusted area under the curve (AUC) for the FACT-Kidney Cancer Symptom Index (FKSI-15) scale score from baseline through disease progression with imputation for missing data.
• Incidence of AEs and significant laboratory changes
