Introduction: Hand foot skin reaction (HFSR) is a common dose-limiting adverse effect of multi kinase inhibitors (MKI) whose mechanism is not fully understood, and the prophylaxis is inadequate.

Objective: In this pilot study, a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of topical urea in secondary prevention of sunitinib-induced HFSR in renal cell cancer patients.

Methods: Out of 55 screened patients, 14 were randomized to receive topical urea or placebo for four weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effectiveness of a cream containing bis-glyceryl ascorbate (DGA cream) to prevent hand-foot skin reactions (HFSR) caused by sunitinib treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
  • It was a phase I/II trial where 24 patients used DGA cream during sunitinib therapy, with phase I focusing on safety and phase II assessing the effectiveness of preventing HFSR.
  • Results showed that only 12.5% of participants developed HFSR, significantly lower than the expected threshold of 33.3%, indicating that DGA cream may provide a protective benefit.

ABCG2 and ABCB1 are genes related to the pharmacokinetics of sunitinib and have been associated with its toxicity and efficacy. However, the results have been controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of ABCG2 and ABCB1 polymorphisms with sunitinib-induced toxicity and efficacy in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by meta-analysis.

Hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) is a common side effect caused by several tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including sunitinib. However, the nature of the cornifying factors related to the molecular biological mechanisms underlying HFSR remains poorly understood. We used human keratinocyte models to investigate the key cornifying factors for dermatological and biological abnormalities induced by sunitinib.

Background: Hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) is a serious side effect induced by multiple-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). HFSR can cause treatment interruption or decreased dosing. HFSR also markedly decreases quality of life and is associated with the therapeutic efficacy of multiple-TKIs.
