Abstract
11096 Background: Angiogenic cytokines influence tumor growth in mRCC patients (pts) and are modulated by diurnal fluctuations. The timing of antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) administration may impact efficacy, toxicity and biomarker expression. Methods: 34 mRCC pts, randomized to receive sunitinib at 8 AM or 8 PM on a 28 days (d) on/14 d off schedule, had blood sampling before and during Rx on the first cycle for potential biomarkers including: sunitinib and metabolite blood levels, 18 circulating angiogenic factors (CAFs) and 4 circulating angiogenic cell types including circulating endothelial cells (CECs). Results: Spearman analysis of the 24 biomarkers obtained on d 14 showed significantly better correlations with OS and PFS in PM-treated pts. Three CAFs in PM-treated pts significantly correlated with both OS and PFS. These included Leptin (r = 0.7182, p = 0.0128 and r = 0.8364, p = 0.0022, respectively), IL-8 (r = -0.635, p = 0.0485 and r = -0.5735, p = 0.031, respectively) and PDGF-β...
