4516Background: Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. Affected individuals develop vascular neoplastic lesions in multiple sites including eye, brain, pancreas, adrenal and kidney. Standards of care include surveillance imaging and surgical intervention. We hypothesized that treatment of VHL related lesions with an antiangiogenic agent would result in shrinkage of all lesion types. We chose the multikinase inhibitor pazopanib to test this hypothesis. Methods: After obtaining IRB approval, patients with clinical features or genetic confirmation of VHL disease and with measurable lesions were treated with pazopanib 800mg PO daily for two 12-week cycles. Efficacy was determined by RECIST after two cycles. Patients had the option to continue therapy if considered in patient’s best interest. Continuous monitoring for any lesion progression and drug discontinuation due to toxicity during the whole period of the treatment was planned. Results: Patients were enrolled (N=32) ...
