• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2014-12-01

Summary

Pazopanib is a drug that inhibits proteins thought to be important for new blood vessel formation. This drug has been used in other cancer research studies and information from those studies suggests that pazopanib may help block proteins that are important for the growth, invasion, and spread of cancer cells.
