NCT00577382

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective Sunitinib works in treating acral lentiginous and mucosal melanoma which has spread beyond the local region. Suninitib is a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and acts as a c-kit inhibitor drug. It is believed to work by blocking signals on certain cancer cells which allow the malignant cells to multiply and spread due to a change in the genetic make up of the cancer cell.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 2-month Progression-free Survival Rate

    2-month progression-free survival rate was defined as the proportion of patients absent death or progression based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) before 2 months. Per RECIST 1.0 criteria: progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

    Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 8 weeks on treatment; Treatment continued for 12 months unless disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Relevant for this endpoint was disease status at 2 months.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Best Overall Response Rate

    Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 8 weeks on treatment. Mean treatment duration was 3 cycles (Cohort A/B mean 2/3 cycles). The range of treatment duration overall was 1-11 cycles.

  • Overall Survival

    Patients were followed long-term every 3 months until first progression, death or lost to follow-up. Median survival follow-up was 6.7 months (range 0.8-47.3 months; Cohort A/B median 7.7 m/ 6.2 m).

  • Time to Progression

    Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 8 weeks on treatment and long-term every 3 months until first progression, death or lost to follow-up. Mean treatment duration was 3 cycles (range 1-11; Cohort A/B mean 2/3 cycles).

Study Arms (1)

Sunitinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Cohort A participants received 50 mg sunitinib orally daily for 4 weeks followed by a two-week break from treatment. These 6-week cycles would be repeated until progression or unacceptable toxicity up to 1 year. Cohort B participants received 37.5 mg sunitinib daily on a continuous basis until progression or unacceptable toxicity up to 1 year.

Drug: Sunitinib
