Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sunitinib in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases Caused by Kidney Cancer or Melanoma (NCT NCT00462982)

NCT ID: NCT00462982

Last Updated: 2015-12-30

Results Overview

Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST. Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \>20 mm with conventional techniques (CT, MRI, X-ray) or as \>10 mm with spiral CT scan. This study will use a minimum diameter of 10 mm for measurable lesions in the brain, regardless of imaging modality. All tumor measurements must be recorded in millimeters (or decimal fractions of centimeters). All other lesions are considered non-measurable disease. Bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial effusions, inflammatory breast disease, and cystic lesions are all nonmeasurable.
