OPTIMISE is designed to provide knowledge regarding the use of Sunitinib as 1st line treatment and 2nd line treatment selected (Sunitinib-different sequence) with respect to efficacy outcomes, adverse events, and health related QoL in the real life setting.
OPTIMISE study objectives are dual and aim primarily to increase the knowledge regarding the outcomes from Sunitinib use on one hand; and outcomes from the combined Sunitinib-2nd line sequence on the other hand in real life clinical practice. This will be addressed in many countries across AfME and in individual country cohorts to understand specificities and differences in use and outcomes

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from when the participant received the first dose of sunitinib to the time of progression or death due to any cause, which occurred first. The time of progression was the date of the first tumor assessment where the progression was notified as response to therapy, over the sunitinib treatment. Participants who discontinued the study for any reason, including unacceptable toxicity during the treatment period, who remained alive and without disease progression, were censored at the last disease assessment that verified lack of disease progression. As per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters \[mm\]) in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference smallest sum of the longest dimensions recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
Time frame: From date of first dose of sunitinib to date of progression or death or censored date, whichever occurred first (up to maximum of 36 months)
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)
TTF was defined as the time from when the participant received the first dose of sunitinib to the time of sunitinib discontinuation (date completed by the physician). In case of death when the participant was still treated with sunitinib, date of death was considered as date of discontinuation. If no sunitinib discontinuation was reported during the follow-up visits, participants were censored to the last follow-up visit.
Time frame: From date of first dose of sunitinib until the date of discontinuation or censored date (up to maximum of 36 months)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST version 1.1. As per RECIST 1.1 criteria: CR = disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (\<)10 mm. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis); PR = at least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference baseline sum diameters.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Symptom Index-19 (FKSI-19) Total Scores
The FKSI-19 is a disease-specific instrument that assessed symptoms of importance in renal cancer participants. It consisted of 4 subscales (FKSI-Disease Related Symptoms \[DRS\]-Physical \[P\]-12 items, FKSI-DRS-Emotional \[E\]-1 item, treatment side effects \[TSE\]-3 items, functional wellbeing \[FWB\]-3 items). Participants were required to respond to a total of 19 questions regarding symptoms, side effects and wellbeing on a 5-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The total FKSI scores were calculated as the sum of the item responses divided by the number of items completed multiplied by the total number of items in the scale and ranged from 0 (severely symptomatic) to 76 (asymptomatic), where higher scores indicated better health.
Time frame: Day 0, Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Symptom Index-19 (FKSI-19) Sub-scale Scores
The FKSI-19 is a disease-specific instrument that assessed symptoms of importance in renal cancer participants. It consisted of 4 subscales (FKSI-DRS-P: 12 items, FKSI-DRS-E: 1 item, TSE: 3 items, FWB: 3 items). Participants were required to respond to the items in each subscale on a 5-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The FKSI subscale scores were calculated as the sum of item responses divided by the number of items completed multiplied by the total number of items in the subscale and ranged from 0 (severely symptomatic) to 48 (asymptomatic) for FKSI-DRS-P, 0 (severely symptomatic) to 4 (asymptomatic) for FKSI-DRS-E and 0 (severely symptomatic) to 12 (asymptomatic) for TSE and FWB; higher scores indicated better health.
