1.Primary Outcome
Title Maximum Tolerated of Sunitinib Combined With Cisplatin and Etoposide (Phase I)
Hide Description The maximum tolerated dose is defined at the highest sunitinib dose at which less than one third of participants develop a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT is defined as: delay of beginning cycle 2 of chemotherapy by > 7 days due to neutropenia, grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting greater than 1 week (chemotherapy alone would be expected to cause significant grade 4 hematologic toxicity) or grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding grade 3 or 4 fatigue if the patient is found to be hypothyroid and responds to fatigue < grade 3 with thyroid replacement therapy).
Time Frame 21 days

Due to safety concerns, the study committee discontinued sunitinib from combination chemotherapy to study single agent sunitinib in the maintenance setting.

Title Change in Plasma Levels of VEGF Prior to, During Single-agent, and Following Treatment With Sunitinib Malate
Hide Description The frequency of tumor response by the optimally dichotomized VEGF levels will be tabulated and their association will be tested by Fisher's exact test as well as the maximally selected rank test. The association of the VEGF levels as continuous predictor with tumor response will be tested by Wilcoxon rank sum test. Further assessments of the association of the VEGF levels as> continuous or binary variables and the tumor response will be implemented in a logistic regression while adjusting for other covariates such as performance status, weight loss and age
