The drug is launched at a MRP that is approx. 96% lower than the MRP compared to the innovator brand,
priced at Rs. 7000 (50 mg), Rs. 3600 (25 mg) and Rs. 1840 (12.5 mg) per month. Sunitinib is also approved by

For over a decade, Sunitinib has been well recognized as one of the gold-standard of care in cases of fast-spreading (metastatic) renal cancer. Research shows that Sunitinib alone has helped reduce the risk of progression of renal cancer by 58%.
