General information
Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits multiple kinases: RAF1, BRAF, KIT, FLT-3, RET, vascular endothelial growth factor receptors VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFR-B). Inhibition of these kinases disrupts angiogenesis, tumor cell signaling, and induces apoptosis.[1][2][3]
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]
