SUTENT is indicated for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Important Safety Information Hepatotoxicity has been observed in clinical trials and post-marketing experience. This hepatotoxicity may be severe, and deaths have been reported. Monitor liver function tests before initiation of treatment, during each cycle of treatment, and as clinically indicated. SUTENT should be interrupted for Grade 3 or 4 drug-related hepatic adverse events and discontinued if there is no resolution. Do not restart SUTENT if patients subsequently experience severe changes in liver function tests or have other signs and symptoms of liver failure. Women of childbearing potential should be advised of the potential hazard to the fetus and to avoid becoming pregnant.
Cardiovascular events, including
heart failure, myocardial disorders, and cardiomyopathy, some of which
were fatal, have been reported through post-marketing experience.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure
(CHF) and, in the presence of clinical manifestations, discontinuation
is recommended. Patients who presented with cardiac events, pulmonary
embolism, or cerebrovascular events within the previous 12 months were
excluded from clinical studies.
SUTENT has been shown to prolong
QT interval in a dose-dependent manner, which may lead to an increased
risk for ventricular arrhythmias including torsades de pointes, which
has been seen in <0.1% of="" patients.="" monitoring="" with=""
