Study of Sunitinib Administered as 4/2 vs. 2/1 Schedule in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)

September 22, 2014 updated by: JLee, Asan Medical Center

A Randomized Phase II Trial Of Sunitinib Administered Daily For 4 Weeks, Followed By 2-Week Rest Vs. 2-Week On And 1-Week Off In Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

This study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of sunitinib in 4/2 and 2/1 regimen in previously untreated metastatic RCC to select the most promising regimen, which should be used in further studies of this patient population.
