Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Per protocol amendment, the number of participants (par.) was increased to ~1100 (including all par. enrolled in Studies VEG108844 and VEG113078 [NCT01147822; a substudy in Asian par.]). This summary is a pooled analysis of both studies. 1110 par. were analyzed; 927 from VEG108844 (reflected in the protocol enrollment field), 183 from VEG113078.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Participants were stratified based on Karnofsky Performance Scale scores (70 or 80; 90 or 100), Baseline levels of lactate dehydrogenase (>1.5 versus <=1.5 times the upper limit of normal [ULN]), and previous nephrectomy (yes versus no) and were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either pazopanib or sunitinib.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Pazopanib 800 mg Participants were administered pazopanib 800 milligrams (mg) (2 x 400 mg tablets) orally once daily (OD) continuously. Pazopanib was to be taken at least one hour before or at least two hours after a meal. Participants received study treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent for any other reasons.
Sunitinib 50 mg Participants were administered sunitinib 50 mg orally once daily in 6-week cycles (4 weeks of treatment, followed by 2 weeks without treatment). Participants received study treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent for any other reasons.

Measure Title Change From Baseline in the FACT-Kidney Symptom Index-19 (FKSI-19) Scale Treatment Side Effects (TSE) Domain Score at Day 28 of Cycles 1-4 (Average of Weeks 4, 10, 16, and 22, Respectively)
Measure Description The FKSI-19 is a disease-specific instrument that measures disease and treatment-related symptoms specifically in renal cancer patients in 4 domains. The TSE domain assesses side effects experienced in the past 7 days. Participants are asked to respond to 3 questions ("I have nausea," "I have diarrhea," and "I am bothered by side effects of treatment") by using a 5-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much; possible total domain score of 0 to 12).Higher scores represent better health. A negative change from Baseline represents a worsening of condition.

ITT Population. Some participants were missing scores at Baseline and were excluded from the analysis. Participants missing scores at other early time points were excluded from the analysis at those time points. Change from Baseline was calculated as the assessment week value minus the Baseline value.
