Abstract

Fruquintinib (Fruzaqla – Takeda), an oral kinase inhibitor, has been approved by the FDA for treatment of adults with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who received prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, anti-VEGF therapy, and, in patients with RAS wild-type mutations, anti-EGFR therapy. The drug can be used in patients with mCRC regardless of biomarker status. Fruquintinib is the first drug to become available in the US for treatment of mCRC that targets 3 VEGF receptor kinases.
