CCR 20th Anniversary Commentary: Determining a Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Relationship for Sunitinib—A Look Back

Clin Cancer Res. 2015 Jun 1;21(11):2415-7. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-14-2557.

Abstract

The article by Mendel and colleagues, published in the January 1, 2003, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, described their novel preclinical approach to developing a thorough understanding of the exposure-activity relationship for sunitinib, a multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor being developed for oncology therapy. This work successfully set exposure guidelines to identify a biologically active dose in early clinical trials.
