Participant Flow

16 subjects recruited from 7/19/2007 to 2/1/2010 at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor(lead site), and sub-sites: The University of Detroit's Karmanos Cancer Institute, WSU, Detroit; Weill Cornell Medical College, NY; and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, NJ

Patients with histologically or cytologically documented Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) who had received no more than 4 cycles of frontline platinum plus etoposide chemotherapy and who demonstrated a response or stable disease were eligible. ES-SCLC was defined as disease extending beyond 1 hemothorax and regional lymph nodes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 Months Post Treatment

Population: All 16 patients enrolled received a median of 4 weeks sunitinib maintenance therapy. 1 patient who discontinued requested no follow up and was censored from survival analysis. All survival endpoints were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method (Kaplan El, Meier P, Non-parametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations, J Am Stat Association, 1958)

The proportion of patients who are progression-free at 4 months after starting sunitinib.

Sunitinib 50 mg po QD × 28 days followed by a 14 day break every 42 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment to begin 28-42 days after day 1 of the last cycle of induction chemotherapy to allow confirmation of response or disease stability with chemotherapy. All patients who have received at least one cycle of sunitinib will be considered evaluable for response.
Progression Free Survival Rate
13 percentage of patients with PFS
Interval 2.0 to 33.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 4 months post treatment

Population: 15 participants in Sunitinib maintenance therapy (main study) were enrolled and were evaluable for this outcome measure. Although 16 patients were enrolled, one patient opted to discontinue therapy, refused further follow-up, and was therefore censored from survival analysis.

Survival will be defined as the time from the first day of therapy to the date of death. If the patient is lost to follow-up, survival will be censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive. Survival for induction therapy will be calculated from day 1 of first cycle of chemotherapy. Survival for post-induction therapy will be calculated from the date the patient starts sunitinib.

Median Overall Survival
8.2 months
Interval 6.2 to 14.7

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks (2 cycles)

Population: Patients who received at least 2 cycles of study therapy (maintenance sunitinib)

Scans were performed every 2 cycles to evaluate for response/progression. Response was assessed according to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) criteria. Patients would be considered to have an objective response if they experience CR (Complete Response - Disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of target lesions and/or non-target lesions) or PR (Partial Response - A 30% or greater decrease in the sum of LD of all lesions in reference to the baseline sum LD).

Percent of Patients With an Objective Response
0 percentage of participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 20 weeks

Population: All patients who received sunitinib maintenance therapy were evaluable for toxicity and tolerability analysis.

Tolerability of Sunitinib will be evaluated by looking at the number of participants who discontinue drug due to toxicity. Toxicity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria v.3.0. In the event of any CTC, version 3.0 drug-related grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic or grade 4 hematologic adverse event(s), drug should be held until the toxicity resolves to \< grade 1 and then the drug should be restarted at a one dose-level reduction. Recovery to acceptable levels of toxicity must occur within 4 weeks to allow continuation in the study. No more than 2 dose reductions are permitted for any patient. If further dose reduction is required, the patient must be removed from the study.
