Washout period before going on another TKI

Post by Arch »

According to a study in RCC, patients who switched to sutent from another VEGF inhibitor responded better if there was atleast a 30 days washout period.
Thought of sharing this as many people here are trying different VEGF inhibitors sequentially. I thought it was best if there was no gap, so that no rebound occurs, but this study states otherwise.
Look at this -
