---|---|
Experimental: patients with sunitinib or pazopanib
This will be a non-randomized, proof-of-concept, prospective, longitudinal, multi-center study in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma with good or intermediate risk (based on MSKCC criteria) treated with sunitinib or pazopanib in first line.
|
Drug: patients with sunitinib or pazopanib
The treatment with sunitinib or pazopanib should comply with the recommendations written in the Belgian product information and the reimbursement criteria |
- Treatment assessment by using RECIST 1.1 and adverse events will be documented using the NCI-CTC coding system (version 4.0) [ Time Frame: up to 3 years ]
- Identifying the level metabolotype and/or lipidomotype of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients before starting sunitinib or pazopanib (in comparison with healthy volunteers) on blood and urine samples by biochemistry techniques [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Woman or man ≥ 18 Years old, histologically proven metastatic clear cell (or al least clear cell predominant) RCC,
- Good or intermediate risk according to MSKCC-criteria, Subjects falling into conditions for reimbursement of sunitinib or pazopanib in the context of mRCC,
