Summary of VHL gene inactivation mechanism by best overall response (RECIST v1.0) in patients from both treatment arms combined

No. of patients (%)
CR (n = 1) PR (n = 51) SD (n = 64) PD (n = 23)
Overall VHL gene inactivation status
 Yes 0 41 (80) 45 (70) 18 (78)
 No 0 5 (10) 10 (16) 2 (9)
VHL mutation inactivation status
 Yes 0 36 (71) 40 (62) 14 (61)
 No 1 (100) 12 (24) 18 (28) 7 (30)
VHL large deletion status
 Yes 0 4 (8) 1 (2) 1 (4)
 No 0 41 (80) 50 (78) 18 (78)
VHL methylation status
 Yes 0 5 (10) 5 (8) 4 (17)
 No 1 (100) 45 (88) 54 (84) 18 (78)

Overall VHL gene inactivation status could = no, yes, fail, or incomplete. The status = “yes” if at least one VHL status (mutational, methylation, or deletion) = “yes”; = “fail” if VHL mutational status was of unknown significance; = “no” if all three were “no”; and = “incomplete” if all tests were not successful

CR Complete response, PD progressive disease, PR partial response, RECIST response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, SD stable disease, VHL Von Hippel–Lindau
