Safety and effectiveness of classical and alternative sunitinib dosing schedules for metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis.
Safety and effectiveness of classical and alternative sunitinib dosing schedules for metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis. Future oncology (London, England) Abogunrin, S., Ashaye, A. O., Cappelleri, J. C., Clair, A. G., Fahrbach, K., Ramaswamy, K., Serfass, L., Srinivas, S., Thomaidou, D., Zanotti, G. 2019Abstract
The optimal dosing schedule to maintain the effectiveness of sunitinib for metastatic renal cell carcinoma -while reducing toxicity-remains an important clinical question. A meta-analysis of randomized trials and observational studies assessed the relative treatment effects of 4/2, 2/1and transitional-2/1 schedules on outcomes and adverse events using Bayesian network meta-analysis methods. Treatment with 2/1 reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 25% and had lower odds of hand-and-foot syndrome compared with the 4/2. A numerical but not 'statistical' benefit in progression-free survival was observed with the transitional-2/1 compared with 4/2. Alternative schedules with the 2/1 and transitional-2/1 may be more clinically beneficial in metastatic renal cell carcinoma than the 4/2 schedule.
