Sunitinib, sold under the brand name Sutent, is an anti-cancer medication.[2] It is a small-molecule, multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that was approved by the FDA for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in January 2006. Sunitinib was the first cancer drug simultaneously approved for two different indications.[3]
As of August 2021, sunitinib is available as a generic medicine in the US.[4]
