Personalized drug dosing shows promise for kidney cancer patients

NCT ID NCT02555748

First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looked at whether adjusting the dose of two standard kidney cancer drugs (sunitinib and pazopanib) based on the amount of drug in a patient's blood can improve treatment. The goal was to see if this personalized approach reduces side effects and helps keep the cancer from growing longer than the usual method of dosing based on side effects alone. The study involved 47 adults with advanced or metastatic kidney cancer starting these drugs as their first treatment.
