Background: The recent approvals of sunitinib, sorafenib and temsirolimus have revolutionized the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Pazopanib (GW-786034) is a second-generation multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor against VEGFR-1, 2 and 3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-alpha, PDGFR-beta and c-kit.
Objective: Data supporting the development of pazopanib for RCC are reviewed.
Methods: Preclinical and clinical data available for pazopanib are presented.
Results: Preclinical evaluation has revealed excellent anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity in several mouse models. A Phase II clinical trial of pazopanib in untreated or cytokine/bevacizumab pretreated RCC has demonstrated promising activity accompanied by a favorable toxicity profile. A placebo-controlled Phase III trial is ongoing in untreated or cytokine-treated patients with RCC. Ongoing trials are further evaluating pazopanib in a variety of other malignancies.

Many cancers have displayed resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs over the past few decades. EGFR has emerged as a leading target for cancer therapy inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Besides, studies strongly suggest that blocking telomerase activity could be an effective way to control the growth of certain cancer cells.

The multitarget oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib is an effective first-line treatment option in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Through its mechanism of action, it has been associated with cardiotoxicity, mainly hypertension, which is usually low-grade and well-managed with behavioral changes and antihypertensor treatment adjustment, if needed. Acute, symptomatic heart failure is rarely described.

Pazopanib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been explored for its efficacy in treating various subtypes of thyroid cancer, including differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). This systematic review assesses the efficacy and safety of pazopanib, focusing on the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and response rates and adverse events. A comprehensive search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to October 2024 to identify randomized controlled trials and phase II clinical trials that investigated the use of pazopanib in thyroid cancer.
