Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Axitinib in Advanced Carcinoid Tumors (NCT NCT01435122)

NCT ID: NCT01435122

Last Updated: 2018-10-02

Results Overview

Progression-free survival rate at 12 months. PFS: determined as the time from administration of the initial dose of axitinib until objective tumor progression using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), or death. Progressive Disease (PD) Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for Partial Response (PR) nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 Months

Population: All participants evaluable at time of analysis.

Tumor response rate using RECIST. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Overall survival by Kaplan Meier, determined from the time of drug administration to death from any cause. The effect of an intervention is assessed by measuring the number of subjects survived or saved after that intervention over a period of time. The time starting from a defined point to the occurrence of a given event, for example death is called as survival time and the analysis of group data as survival analysis.

Grade 2 through 4 toxicities considered at least possibly related to treatment. Percentage of participants affected per category. Safety assessments will consist of monitoring and recording all adverse events and serious adverse events, the regular monitoring of hematology and blood chemistry parameters and regular physical examinations. Adverse events will be evaluated continuously throughout the study. Safety and tolerability will be assessed according to the National Institute of Health/National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4 (CTCAE v4) available at: http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic\_applications/ctc.htm.
