Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://adisinsight.springer.com/drugs/800029399 | https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-drug?cdrid=746096

Defactinib is an oral, investigational drug candidate for the treatment of various solid tumors. Through dual inhibition of FAK and PYK2, defactinib targets key resistance mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment (TME), including limited local immune response, dense stroma, and resident cancer stem cells, that may limit the effectiveness of current and investigational treatments. Treatment-related adverse events are: unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, fatigue and headache.
