Trial Outcomes & Findings for Everolimus as Second-line Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (NCT NCT01491672)

NCT ID: NCT01491672

Last Updated: 2016-06-06

Results Overview

PFS during second-line treatment was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause. The primary analysis of PFS was based on a local radiology review of CT scans and MRI collected until the participant experienced disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 20 months

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) was used. It included all enrolled participants.

PFS during second-line treatment was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause. The primary analysis of PFS was based on a local radiology review of CT scans and MRI collected until the participant experienced disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0.
