- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception before study entry, for all the duration of the study and for at least 8 weeks after the last dose of investigational drug (30 days for an ovarian cycle turnover plus the time required for the active metabolite of sunitinib to undergo five half-lives).
- Males who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of before study entry, for all the duration of the study and for at least 16 weeks after the last dose of investigational drug (90 days for sperm turnover plus the time required for the active metabolite of sunitinib to undergo five half-lives).
Criteri di esclusione:

Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if they are clinically stable with regard to neurologic function, off steroids after cranial irradiation (whole brain radiation therapy, focal radiation therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery) ending at least 2 weeks prior to start of treatment, or after surgical resection performed at least 28 days prior to start of treatment. The patient may have no evidence of Grade ≥1 CNS haemorrhage based on pre-treatment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or IV contrast CT scan (performed within 28 days before start of treatment)
- Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks prior to treatment
- Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy
- Pregnant or breast feeding women
- Previous (within the last 5 years) or current malignancies at other sites, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri
- Current enrollment in or participation in another therapeutic clinical trial within 4 weeks before treatment start.
- Patients with uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease (AMI within 12 months, unstable angina within 6 months, NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class III, IV Congestive heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction below local institutional lower limit of normal or below 45%
- Ongoing symptomatic cardiac dysrhythmias, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation, or prolongation of the Fridericia corrected QT (QTcF) interval defined as > 450 msec for males and > 470 msec for females, where QTcF = QT/3√RR
- Poorly controlled hypertension
- History of cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack within the past 12 months.
- History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) unless adequately treated with low molecular weight heparin
- History of pulmonary embolism within the past 6 months unless stable, asymptomatic, and treated with low molecular weight heparin for at least 6 weeks.
- Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding susceptibility; or medically significant hemorrhage within prior 30 days.
- Receiving concomitant CYP3A4 inducers or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of sunitinib
- Known HIV infection
