Mechanism Of Action:
Pazopanib is a second-generation multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1, -2, and -3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta, and c-kit. These receptor targets are part of the angiogenesis pathway that facilitates the formation of tumor blood vessel for tumor survival and growth.
Indication:
- First-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma,
- Treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma in patients who have had previous treatment with cytokine therapy.
- Treatment of adult patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who have received prior chemotherapy.
