NCT00704730 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Efficacy of XL184 (Cabozantinib) in Advanced Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes metastatic disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

primary · POSTED

The duration of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) using progression events as determined by Independent Review Committee (IRC) per mRECIST, or death due to any cause. The analysis was conducted after at least 315 subjects were randomized and at least 138 events were observed.

Intent to Treat (ITT) 330 subjects were randomized and were included in the analysis. A Kaplan-Meyer analysis was performed to estimate the median.

secondary · POSTED

Duration of Overall Survival (OS) from the time of randomization to death due to any cause. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to estimate the median.

Intent to treat (ITT) randomized to either XL184 or placebo

→

secondary · POSTED

The proportion of subjects with a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the Independent Review Committee (IRC.) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor Criteria (mRECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR) disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD) ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response Rate: ORR=CR +PR

The primary analysis Objective Response Rate (ORR) was performed among subset of Intent To Treat (ITT) subjects with measurable disease at baseline (N = 208 cabozantinib, N = 104 placebo) based upon response determined by Independent Radiology Committee (IRC.) Subjects without post-baseline adequate tumor assessments - counted as nonresponders.

secondary · POSTED

For those subjects with Independent Radiology Committee (IRC) determined Objective Response Rate (ORR), the amount of time from documentation of Objective Response (OR) until Progressive Disease (PD) by mRECIST or death due to any cause.

The primary analysis of Objective Response Rate (ORR) was performed among the subset of Intent To Treat (ITT) subjects with measurable disease at baseline and was based upon response as determined by the Independent Review Committee (IRC.) Subjects who did not have post-baseline adequate tumor assessments were counted as nonresponders.

secondary · POSTED

For each on-treatment tumor marker assessment from each subject, the biochemical response of CTN was determined based on percent increase or decrease from baseline. Best biochemical response over course of treatment was determined from evaluation of subject's time point response data. Biochemical response criteria: Complete Response (CR) - decrease in tumor marker into normal range from baseline value; Partial Response (PR) - decrease of \>50% from baseline value when baseline value is above normal range; Stable Disease (SD) - no more than a 50% increase and no more than a 50% decrease from baseline value above normal range; Progressive Disease (PD) - increase of \>50% from baseline value when baseline value is above normal range / or increase from low or normal range at baseline to above normal range; Not Evaluable (NE) - missing baseline value / or baseline value is not elevated and response is not PD / or response can not be determined due to change in assay format.

Population was intent to treat (ITT), randomized to either XL184 or placebo. For the CTN measure the analysis population differs from the ITT population of 219 XL184 and 111 Placebo. Three subjects did not provide samples for CTN. The biomarker analysis was based on available samples, not on ITT.

secondary · POSTED

For each on-treatment tumor marker assessment from each subject, the biochemical response of CEA was determined based on percent increase or decrease from baseline. Best biochemical response over the course of treatment was determined from evaluation of each subject's time point response data. Biochemical response: Complete Response (CR)- Decrease in tumor marker into normal range from baseline value; Partial Response (PR)- Decrease of \>50% from baseline value when baseline value is above normal range; Stable Disease (SD)- No more than a 50% increase and no more than a 50% decrease from baseline value above normal range; Progressive Disease (PD)- Increase of \>50% from baseline value when baseline value is above normal range / or increase from low or normal range at baseline to above normal range; Not Evaluable (NE)- Missing baseline value / or baseline value is not elevated and response is not Progressive Disease (PD) / or response can not be determined due to change in assay format.

For the CEA measure the analysis population differs from the Intent To Treat (ITT) population of 219 XL184 and 111 Placebo. One subject did not provide samples for CEA. The biomarker analysis was based on available samples, not on ITT.
