Fruquintinib, sold under the brand name Fruzaqla, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of colorectal cancer. [6] Fruquintinib is a kinase inhibitor. [6] It is taken by mouth. [6]

Contents

The most common adverse reactions include hypertension, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, proteinuria, dysphonia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and asthenia. [9]

Fruquintinib was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2023. [9] [10]

Medical uses

Fruquintinib is indicated for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who received prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and, if RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-EGFR therapy. [6] [9] [11] [12]

History

Efficacy was evaluated in FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539) and FRESCO (NCT02314819). [9] FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539), an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, evaluated 691 participants with metastatic colorectal cancer who had disease progression during or after prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF biological therapy an anti-EGFR biological therapy if RAS wild type, and at least one of trifluridine/tipiracil or regorafenib. [9] FRESCO, a multicenter, placebo-controlled trial conducted in China, evaluated 416 participants with metastatic colorectal cancer who had disease progression during or after prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy. [9]

Society and culture

In April 2024, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Fruzaqla, intended for the treatment of people with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). [7] [13] The applicant for this medicinal product is Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG Ireland Branch. [7] Fruzaqla was approved for medical use in the United States in June 2024. [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Trastuzumab deruxtecan</span> Medication

Trastuzumab deruxtecan, sold under the brand name Enhertu, is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of the humanized monoclonal antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) covalently linked to the topoisomerase I inhibitor deruxtecan. It is licensed for the treatment of breast cancer or gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Trastuzumab binds to and blocks signaling through epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) on cancers that rely on it for growth. Additionally, once bound to HER2 receptors, the antibody is internalized by the cell, carrying the bound deruxtecan along with it, where it interferes with the cell's ability to make DNA structural changes and replicate its DNA during cell division, leading to DNA damage when the cell attempts to replicate itself, destroying the cell.
