Famitinib, an orally active, small molecule, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor against multiple targets, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2/3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and stem cell factor receptor (c-kit). Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co is developing famitinib against a wide variety of advanced-stage solid cancers. Famitinib is participating in phase III clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy in patients with advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma. The other phase III clinical trial for patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer was terminated because of the difficulty in recruitment. In addition, the drug is involved in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, nasopharyngeal cancer, and neuroendocrine tumors.
