The usual dose for patients with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor

is 37.5 mg PO qDay continuously without a scheduled off-treatment period

MECHANISM

Sunitinib belongs to the type of small molecule which prohibits multiple RTKs, some of which are involved in tumor growth, pathologic angiogenesis, and metastatic progression of cancer. Sunitinib was judge for its inhibitory activity against a variety of kinases (>80 kinases) and was identified as an inhibitor of platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRa and PDGFRb), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3), stem cell factor receptor (KIT), Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3), colony stimulating factor receptor Type 1 (CSF-1R), and the glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor receptor (RET)

ADME

High plasma concentration of sunitinib is between 6 and 12 hours and the bioavailability of sunitinib has no effect on food.

Human plasma protein binding was 95 % and 90 % respectively.

Primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP3A4

The drug sunitinib is eliminated primarily through feces 61% and renal excretion is 16% of the administrated dose. Sunitinib half-life is 40 – 60 hours

Primary active metabolite half-life was 80 – 110 hours

PRECAUTION

•Adrenal hemorrhage resulted in animal studies; follow the adrenal function in case of stress such as surgery, trauma or severe infection

•Control urine protein; interfere with treatment for 24-hr urine protein ≥3 g; stop for repeat episodes of protein ≥3 g despite dose reductions or nephrotic syndrome

• Suninat 50mg treatment will cause severe hepatotoxicity involving liver failure; check liver function tests before starting treatment.

• Hemorrhagic events involving tumor-related hemorrhage resulted; test the serial complete blood counts and physical examinations

• Hypothyroidism resulted; follow the baseline thyroid function in patients with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism and treat per standard medical practice prior to initiating therapy

DRUG INTERACTION

Suninat 50mg capsule combination with CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole0 will increase the sunitinib plasma concentrations.

Suninat 50mg capsule combination with CYP3A4 inducers (rifampin) will decrease Sunitinib plasma concentration

CONTRAINDICATION

Patients are contraindicated with Suninat 50mg capsule due to hypersensitivity and renal impairment.

MISSED DOSE

If the dose is missed the have the dose immediately before next dose timing reaches or skip the missed dose and continue the regular schedule.

Consult doctors regarding the missed dose.
