Sviluppo storico della chemioterapia antineoplastica 1945 Mecloretamina 1950 Metotrexato 6-Mercaptopurina Busulfan 1955 Clorambucil Ciclofosfamide 1960 Vinblastina, vincristina Fluorouracile, actinomicina D Melfalan 1965 • Prima chemioterapia adiuvante con actinomicina D nel tumore di Wilms Procarbazina, 6-tioguanina Citosina arabinoside Adriamicina 1970 Bleomicina, dacarbazina da G. Bonadonna, 1999 (modificata)
Sviluppo storico della chemioterapia antineoplastica (II) 1975 • CMF adiuvante nel ca. mammario • Terapia adiuvante nell’osteosarcoma • Trapianto di midollo osseo • PVB nei tumori del testicolo CCNU, BCNU, cisplatino 1980 • Inizio chemioterapia primaria in vari tumori solidi resecabili Etoposide, mitoxantrone 1985 • Trapianto autologo con GM-CSF • Espansione chemioterapia primaria Carboplatino Ifofosfamide + MESNA 1990 Paclitaxel, docetaxel Topotecan, irinotecan Gemcitabina Oxaliplatino • Terapia antiemetica 1995 Target therapy 2000 da G.

Changing of the Guard A Paradigm Shift in the Treatment of Cancer • Conventional cytotoxic drugs interact with DNA to prevent cell replication but are not specific to cancer cells • We are moving to targeted therapies which specifically target cancer cells
Signalling Pathways Identificare mutazioni tipiche della cellula neoplastica
Target therapy: • Identificazione del bersaglio • Sopravvivenza e crescita delle cellula tumorale dipendono dal bersaglio
Targeted Therapies • Monoclonal antibodies: proteine che si legano a recettore o altra molecola di segnale extracellulare • Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: molecola che lega e inibisce attività enzimatiche intracellulari • Gli “umab • Gli “inib”

Carcinoma Renale Here Lies Interferon Killed by Sunitinib & Sorafenib
Kinase inhibited by Sorafenib Sorafenib 22
TARGET study: results www.nexavar-international.com
TARGET study: results • Cross-over: 48% of patient under placebo switched to Sorafenib www.nexavar-international.com
Tumorresponse rate Overall Response 84%
Adverse effects of Sorafenib ESCUDIER B, Sorafenib for Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma: Final Efficacy and Safety Results of the Phase III Treatment Approaches in Renal Cancer Global Evaluation Trial, 2009 Bernard Escudier, et al
Kinase inhibited by Sunitinib Sorafenib Sunitinib 29
Clinical trial results Sutent average PFS is 11,8 months, compared with 5,5 months for patients receiving interferon alfa. Overall Survival and Updated Results for Sunitinib Compared With Interferon Alfa in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Robert J. Motzer et al.
Clinical trial results: Adverse effects
Conclusion on sunitinib • More efficient than Ifn-a. • Came as first line because of comparison with interferon • Best in class • More high grade side effects • Requires treatment holiday BUT

Clinical trial of Pazopanib Pazopanib : 9,2 months Placebo : 4,2 months Cora N. Sternberg A randomized, double-blind phase III study of pazopanib in treatment-naive and cytokine-pretreated patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, 2009
Conclusion on clinical trial Pazopanib is efficacy SO is pazopanib a real progress in RCC treatment ?
New coming indication • Lots of on-going studies for theses TKIs in RCC indication • Sorafenib vs interferon • ASSURE Sorafenib or Sunitinib as adjuvant • COMPARZ study ( Ph III ) Pazopanib vs Sunitinib 875 patients enrolled with advanced/metastatic RCC datas expected during 2010 Provide a direct compararison of the efficacity, safety and tolerability for Sunitinib and Pazopanib
