DR LOVE: How does pazopanib fit into your current nonprotocol practice? DR POLLACK: I use it. And as I said before, most of these patients go through multiple different treatments. So I find that for most of my patients that don’t have liposarcoma, they will get pazopanib at some point. But it has a progression-free survival benefit, but it’s not big a progression-free survival benefit. It’s a 3-month progression-free survival benefit. So first of all, if you have a regular patient with nonadipocytic sarcoma, I’ll start with a doxorubicin-based therapy. And then usually off study, for a patient that’s — let’s say this is an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma patient. So eribulin isn’t available to them. Trabectedin isn’t available to them. I’ll usually go to a gemcitabine-based treatment next. And then usually after that, that’s where I start to think about pazopanib. |
