"Does gastric acid suppression affect sunitinib efficacy in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell cancer?"
Vincent H Ha, Margaret Ngo, Michael P Chu, Sunita Ghosh, Michael B Sawyer and Carole R Chambers
Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice published online March 24, 2014.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine if gastric acid suppression affects sunitinib efficacy in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell cancer
- Identify patients at risk of interaction with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and gastric acid-supressing agents
- Reliably measure determinants that place individuals at risk of cancer progression due to inadequate systemic concentrations of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
- Improve the current level of knowledge regarding tyrosine kinase inhibitors drug-drug interactions.
As a reminder, ISOPP's Virtual Journal Club features online articles from the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice (JOPP). Members are encouraged to read articles and then answer a series of multiple choice questions through the Virtual Journal Club Surveys.
After completing the questionnaire, a certificate will be emailed to you. Although not formally accredited for continuing medical education (CME) points, participation is equal to one hour of CME activity.
Members are also encouraged to use the Member Discussion Forum to stimulate discussion about articles they have read. Your ISOPP membership provides many great benefits and we are hopeful you will find the Virtual Journal Club another asset to your oncology pharmacy practice.
