Shortage ATC L01EX01 · also listed as: Sunitinib · data refreshed 11 September 2026
As of 11 September 2026, 3 of the 9 tracked registers list current availability issues for Sunitinib, covering 10 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Italy on 2022-10-31 and has now been open for about 47 months. Where agencies state a cause, manufacturing problems lead with 4 of the 9 stated-cause reports, followed by unexpectedly high demand with 4. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2027-02-15; the earliest is 2026-10-30. Momentum is current, not historical: 4 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Italy reported first (2022-10-31), with Sweden following roughly 45 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching. In the WHO ATC classification, Sunitinib is coded L01EX01 — a medicine acting on antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents — so clinically related products appear under “Related medicines” below.
