N2 - Pazopanib is a novel multikinase inhibitor that shares a similar spectrum of target receptors with sorafenib and sunitinib. We have performed a systematic analysis to investigate the risk of HFSR to pazopanib and compare the difference in incidence between sorafenib, sunitinib, and pazopanib. Relevant studies were identified from PubMed (1998-2010) and abstracts presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Conferences between 2004 and 2010. Eligible studies were limited to prospective Phase II-III clinical trials in which cancer patients were treated with pazopanib 800 mg orally once daily. Incidence, relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effects models based on the heterogeneity of included studies. A total of 1,163 patients from 10 prospective clinical trials were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of all-grade and high-grade HFSR was 4.5% (95% CI: 2.5-7.9%) and 1.8% (95% CI: 0.7-4.6%), respectively. The relative risks of all-grade and high-grade HFSR to pazopanib monotherapy in comparison with controls were increased for allgrade (RR=6.09, 95% CI: 1.11-33.36, p=0.037) and highgrade HFSR (RR=2.51, 95% CI: 0.12-51.9, p=0.55). The risk of all-grade and high-grade HFSR to pazopanib was significantly lower as compared to sorafenib and sunitinib (RR=7.5, 95% CI: 5.5-10.2, p<0.001; RR=5.9, 95% CI: 3.5-10.0, p<0.001 and RR=4.2, 95% CI: 3.0-5.7, p< 0.001; RR=3.6, 95% CI: 2.1-6.2, p<0.001). Despite sharing the same spectrum of target receptors with sorafenib and sunitinib, pazopanib is associated with an unexpectedly low risk of HFSR. Further investigations are needed to elucidate HFSR pathogenesis.
