Effectiveness

How Votrient Affects Patients

Pazopanib is a type of medication that reaches a high concentration in the body. This concentration is strong enough to stop a certain receptor from working, which can help reduce tumour size, stop tumour growth, and even cause tumour cells to die. It can also reduce how much blood flows to tumours and can lower the pressure inside tumours. All of these effects can be seen when patients are taking this medication.

How Votrient works in the body

Pazopanib is a drug that stops cancer from growing its own blood vessels. It does this by blocking certain proteins that help the cancer form new vessels. By stopping the formation of these vessels, the cancer is deprived of the nutrients it needs to grow and spread.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended dosage of Votrient is contingent upon the diagnosed illness, such as advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS), Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (aRCC) and advanced Thyroid cancer. The measure of dosage fluctuates, in line with the technique of delivery detailed in the table beneath.

Votrient for Cancer Involving the Kidney Cells

Votrient has been working great for me, keeping my tumors stable or even shrinking them. I didn't have any problems with diarrhea until after the first six months, and that's really the only side effect I've noticed.

Votrient for Tumor of Soft/Connective Tissue that is Usually Malignant

While there have been some side effects, like chest pain and fatigue, this treatment has helped my daughter immensely. She was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma a year ago and has shown great progress since then.

Votrient for Cancer Involving the Kidney Cells

Votrient has been a life-saver for me. I got the package from India, which was only 8% of the price in the US, and it worked just as well. After six months there were no signs of metastasis and I've been in remission since 2019. The only downside is that Votrient caused high blood pressure, but that was mitigated by Procardia. Recently I've lost weight and have been having some digestive issues.

Votrient for Tumor of Soft/Connective Tissue that is Usually Malignant

I've been on Pazopanib since 2011, after having my left kidney removed in 2009. I took a break from the medication for three months in 2012 to let my body recover, during which time the cancer spread to my left lung. However, I resumed taking 800mg per day and the tumors have stabilized since then. Despite the side effects (fatigue, diarrhea, tingling fingers, sore mouth, dryness), this medication allows me to live a relatively normal life and travel as often as I'd like.

Votrient for Cancer Involving the Kidney Cells

I could only tolerate seven doses of this treatment before the side effects became too much for me to handle. I'm still recovering from mouth sores, hypertension, diarrhea, muscle and joint pain, and loss of taste several days later.

RP2 + Tivozanib for Kidney Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase II trial tests the effect of RP2 and tivozanib in treating patients with renal cell cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) after receiving immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). RP2 is a herpes simplex virus (a viral infection commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been changed to infect and destroy tumor cells and to activate (turn on) the human immune system to attack the tumor cells. Tivozanib hydrochloride blocks certain proteins, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Tivozanib hydrochloride is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of antiangiogenesis agent. Giving RP2 and tivozanib may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic renal cell cancer that has progressed after receiving immunotherapy with ICIs.

All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). CBM588 is a live biotherapeutic that may help improve the effects of immunotherapy. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by enhancing the ability of the body's immune cells to attack tumor cells. CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with advanced stage kidney cancer.

Nivolumab for Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL

This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.

At-Home vs Clinic-Based Therapy for Advanced Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL

This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.
