Overview

Pazopanib hydrochloride is an antineoplastic agent that is FDA approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, advanced soft tissue sarcoma,. There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include hypertension, hair color change, lymphocytopenia, musculoskeletal pain,headache, dyspnea.

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Indications

  • VOTRIENT® is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
  • VOTRIENT is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who have received prior chemotherapy.

Limitation of Use: The efficacy of VOTRIENT for the treatment of patients with adipocytic STS or gastrointestinal stromal tumors has not been demonstrated.

Dosage

  • The recommended starting dose of VOTRIENT is 800 mg orally once daily without food (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal). The dose of VOTRIENT should not exceed 800 mg.
  • Do not crush tablets due to the potential for increased rate of absorption which may affect systemic exposure.
  • If a dose is missed, it should not be taken if it is less than 12 hours until the next dose.

Dose Modification Guidelines

  • In RCC, the initial dose reduction should be 400 mg, and additional dose decrease or increase should be in 200 mg steps based on individual tolerability.
  • In STS, a decrease or increase should be in 200 mg steps based on individual tolerability.
  • Hepatic Impairment: No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment. In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, alternatives to VOTRIENT should be considered. If VOTRIENT is used in patients with moderate hepatic impairment, the dose should be reduced to 200 mg per day. VOTRIENT is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
  • Concomitant Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: The concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin) increases pazopanib concentrations and should be avoided. Consider an alternate concomitant medication with no or minimal potential to inhibit CYP3A4. If coadministration of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is warranted, reduce the dose of VOTRIENT to 400 mg. Further dose reductions may be needed if adverse effects occur during therapy.

Concomitant Strong CYP3A4 Inducer: The concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin) may decrease pazopanib concentrations and should be avoided. Consider an alternate concomitant medication with no or minimal enzyme induction potential. VOTRIENT should not be used in patients who cannot avoid chronic use of strong CYP3A4 inducers.

DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

  • 200 mg tablets of VOTRIENT — modified capsule-shaped, gray, film-coated with GS JT debossed on one side. Each tablet contains 216.7 mg of pazopanib hydrochloride equivalent to 200 mg of pazopanib.
