Abstract

We applied a method that analyzes tumor response, quantifying the rates of tumor growth (g) and regression (d), using tumor measurements obtained while patients receive therapy. We used data from the phase III trial comparing sunitinib and IFN-α in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients. The analysis used an equation that extracts d and g. For sunitinib, overall survival (OS) was strongly correlated with log g (Rsq = 0.44, P < 0.0001); much less with log d (Rsq = 0.04; P = 0.0002). The median g of tumors in these patients (0.00082 per days; log g = -3.09) was about half that (P < 0.001) of tumors in patients receiving IFN-α (0.0015 per day; log g = -2.81). With IFN-α, the OS/log g correlation (Rsq = 0.14) was weaker. Values of g from measurements obtained by study investigators or central review were highly correlated (Rsq = 0.80). No advantage resulted in including data from central review in regressions. Furthermore, g can be estimated accurately four months before treatment discontinuation. Extrapolating g in a model that incorporates survival generates the hypothesis that g increased after discontinuation of sunitinib but did not accelerate. In patients with mRCC, sunitinib reduced tumor growth rate, g, more than d...Continue Reading
