By Pharmaceutical Processing | April 27, 2012

GlaxoSmithKline plc announced today that the FDA has approved Votrient (pazopanib) for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy. The U.S. label contains the following limitations: The efficacy of VOTRIENT for the treatment of patients with adipocytic STS or gastrointestinal stromal tumors has not been demonstrated.

“It is such a great moment to bring forth this treatment option for patients, as it represents one of the few new medical options to be provided to patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma over the last thirty years,” said Paolo Paoletti, M.D., President, GSK Oncology. “GSK Oncology feels fortunate to have collaborated with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) in completing a rigorous Phase III trial in such a rare cancer.”
