Authors' objectives:
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of SU11248 for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (Stage IV).
Authors' recommendations:
SU11248 is the first in a new class of oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target both tumour replication and angiogenesis. It is currently in a phase III trials for first-line metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), and phase II registrational trials for second-line mRCC. As a first-line therapy SU11248 is being compared to interferon-alpha (INF-a) in 690 patients For second-line treatment SU11248 is in a single arm trial in 100 patients who have failed cytokine-based therapy (interferon-alpha and/or interleukin-2 (IL-2)). Interim results in 63 patients demonstrate a partial response rate of 33%, stabilisation (>3 months in 37% of patients, and median time to progression of 8.3 months.
