Brief Title: Pilot Study of Pazopanib With Low Fat Meal (PALM) in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Official Title: Pilot Study of Pazopanib With Low Fat Meal (PALM) in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT02729194
Brief Summary: Pazopanib is an orally administered multi-kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor), PDGFR (platelet derived growth factor) and c-kit, which are critical to growth and proliferation of neoplastic cells. Pazopanib has been FDA approved for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with a clear cell component. Conventional Pazopanib dosing WITHOUT FOOD is with an initial dose of 800 mg by mouth daily. Investigators hypothesize that administration of pazopanib with low fat meal would be safe and feasible with secondary implications of higher pazopanib levels; potentially translating into greater anti-tumor efficacy in advanced renal cell cancer, with significant cost savings. In the proposed pilot study, investigators seek to test the feasibility and practicality of this approach and gather preliminary data on adverse effects and the safety profile. Investigators hope to ameliorate any potential for greater toxicities with a dynamic dosing design that incorporates adverse events from each cycle into dosing for the next cycle and a structured symptom specific plan.
