General information

Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3, which interferes with tumor angiogenesis, growth, and cancer progression, at picomolar concentrations. Inhibits PDGFRA, PDGFRB and c-kit at nanomolar concentrations.[1][2][3][4]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
