Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Randomization until disease progression or death, assessed every 12 weeks (up to 22 months)

The PFS was defined as the time (in months) from randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or death (from any cause), whichever came first. Disease progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) was defined as: at least a 20% increase and absolute increase of 5 mm in the sum of the 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. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.

Percentage of Time a Patient Experienced at Least 1 AE of CTCAE Grade >=2 in First 12 Months of Receiving Vandetanib in Patients Who Participated in Patient Outreach Program.
12 months

The primary endpoint is the percentage of time a patient experienced at least one AE of CTCAE grade 2 or higher in the first 12 months of treatment with vandetanib. If the patient discontinues treatment with vandetanib prior to the 12-month time point for any reason, this endpoint will be the time a patient experienced at least one AE of CTCAE grade 2 or higher as a percentage of the time the patient was receiving vandetanib.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the Overall Population
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression

Median time (in weeks) from randomization until objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression) provided death is within 3 months from the last evaluable Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) assessment.

Progression-Free Survival in the Female Population
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression

Median time (in weeks) from randomization until objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression) provided death is within 3 months from the last evaluable RECIST assessment.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the Female Population
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks from randomisation until the date of first documented objective disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first assessed up to 24 months

Median time (in weeks) from randomisation until objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression) provided death is within 3 months from the last evaluable RECIST assessment. Progression was derived according to RECIST 1.0 and is defined as an increase of at least 20% in the total tumour size of measurable lesions over the nadir measurement, unequivocal progression in the non-target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate at 3 Months
12 weeks

Progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 3 months is defined as the number of patients without evidence of progression or death after 3 months from randomisation among the PFS-evaluable patients.

Time to Tumor Progression
Time from date of randomization to date of the first documented tumor progression or date of death from any cause (within the 3 months) of tumor assessment

modified RECIST V1.0 was used.

Tumour Stabilisation Rate
After 16 weeks of treatment.

Tumour stabilisation rate calculated as percentage of patients with best objective tumour response (Complete Response, Partial Response or Stable Disease) for \>=16 weeks based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST). Complete Response - Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response - \>=30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease - \>=20% increase in the sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease - neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

Number of Patients With an Objective Disease Progression Event
RECIST tumour assessments carried out at screening and then as per site clinical practice until objective progression. The only additional mandatory tumour assessment visit is at the point of data cut-off (5 March 2008 +/-3 days)

Number of patients with objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression)

Number of Patients With a Disease Progression Event
RECIST tumour assessments carried out at screening (within 3 weeks before the 1st dose) and then as per site clinical practice until objective progression. The only additional mandatory RECIST assessment is at the point of data cut-off

Number of patients with objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression)

Progression-free survival
Objective Response Rate Within the First 56 Weeks After the First Dose of Vandetanib
Sept 2012 to May 2014

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who have a confirmed CR (Disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (\>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) prior to any evidence of progression as defined by RECIST V1.1. This percentage is calculated with only patients who had at least measurable lesion in the efficacy analysis set.
