1st-line Activity of Dovitinib and Correlation With Genetic Changes in RCC

"Patients will be treated with dovitinib (500 mg orally, once daily 5 days on/2 days off) until disease progression, intolerability, patient refusal, death or study drug discontinuation for any other reason. Dovitinib should be ingested at least 1 hour prior to a meal or at least 2 hours following a meal at approximately the same time each day.~If patients cannot tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose reductions or treatment interruptions are permitted. When necessary, dovitinib may be reduced to 400 mg for 5 days on/2 days off. If an additional dose reduction is required, dovitinib may be reduced to 300 mg dose 5 days on/2 days off. Once dose is reduced due to an adverse event, it cannot be re-escalated. Patients are allowed only 2 dose reductions."
