About Pazopanib

Pazopanib is an investigational, oral angiogenesis inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and c-kit. Pazopanib is currently in Phase III development for the treatment of advanced or metastatic RCC, after completing patient enrollment several months ahead of schedule, and is also being studied in a number of other trials across various tumor types.

Safety considerations

In more than 1000 patients treated to date with Pazopanib in clinical trials, serious but uncommon (<1%) reports of bowel perforation, myocardial infarction/angina and cerebrovascular accidents/transient ischemic attacks have been reported. The most common laboratory abnormality was an elevation in liver transaminase which occurred as an asymptomatic, reversible event.
