Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to find simple clinical and laboratory parameters to predict the development of hypertension and to elucidate the mechanism of hypertension during treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sunitinib.

Description:

Inhibition of angiogenesis with antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor antagonists has become an established treatment for cancer. An unanticipated side effect of angiogenesis inhibitors is the development of hypertension. The pathogenesis of this hypertension is unknown. Not all patients will develop hypertension. However, it is not known which patient will and which patient will not develop hypertension.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Enrollment: 80
• Est. completion date: December 2009
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: Both
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Men and women, with either renal cell carcinoma or gastro intestinal stromal tumors (GIST) intended to be treated solely with Sunitinib (single-agent treatment) and who are considered fit enough by their treating physician to receive Sunitinib.
