PurposeAn attenuated dosing (AD) sunitinib regimen of 37.5 mg daily has been suggested to reduce the toxicity reported with the standard dosing regimen to metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients. The aim of this study was to characterize the population pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of sunitinib and SU12662, the active metabolite, in patients receiving the AD regimen and to ascertain significant covariates influencing PK parameters.
