About Fruquintinib
Fruquintinib is a selective oral inhibitor of VEGFR -1, -2 and -3. VEGFR inhibitors play a pivotal role in inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Fruquintinib was designed to have enhanced selectivity that limits off-target kinase activity, allowing for high drug exposure, sustained target inhibition, and flexibility for the potential use as part of combination therapy. Fruquintinib has been shown to be generally well tolerated in patients to date and is being investigated in combinations with other anti-cancer therapies.
Fruquintinib was approved for marketing by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in September 2018 and commercially launched in China in November 2018 under the brand name ELUNATE®. A marketing submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") was granted Priority Review and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of November 30, 2023. In addition, a submission to the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") was validated and accepted for review in June 2023, and a submission to the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency ("PMDA") took place in September 2023.
Takeda has the exclusive worldwide license to further develop, and commercialize, and manufacture fruquintinib outside of China. Fruquintinib is developed and marketed in China by HUTCHMED, in partnership with Eli Lilly and Company.
