NCT ID NCT02404584

Summary

This study aimed to understand why the cancer drug sunitinib works differently in different people. Researchers followed 43 patients with metastatic kidney cancer who were starting the drug. They measured drug levels in the blood, tracked side effects and tumor response, and looked for links to patients' genetic makeup to learn how to potentially use the drug more effectively.
