So, Sunitinib is this kind of med that’s a multi-kinase inhibitor. It zeros in on these kinases that play a role in RCC, GIST, and pancreas neuroendocrine tumors. It acts on a lot of tyrosine kinases like VEGFRs, PDGFRs, and others.
Sunitinib comes in capsules, with strengths at 12.5, 25, or 50 milligrams. The standard dose for RCC and GIST is 50 mg a day. You take it for 4 weeks straight, then you’ve got a 2-week break before starting the cycle over.
That makes 6 weeks. Each bottle of capsules has 28 doses.
