Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This single arm study will assess progression free survival, tumor response and safety of Avastin in combination with interferon alfa-2a (IFN) as first line treatment in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Patients will receive Avastin (10mg/kg iv) every 2 weeks in combination with a low dose of interferon alfa-2a (3 MIU sc three times per week (t.i.w.). The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Percentage of Participants Estimated to be Progression Free at 12 and 24 Months
- timeFrame
- 12 and 24 months
- description
- PFS at 12 and 24 months is an estimate of the percentages of participants expected to be progression free at 12 and 24 months based on Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of the PFS data. PFS was defined as the time period from the first postbaseline tumor assessment to evidence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression included evaluation solely due to symptomatic deterioration or death due to any reason. Censoring at start of any subsequent antineoplastic therapy was not performed.
