Overview

Generic Name(s):
apatinib free base, apatinib, rivoceranib mesylate, and apatinib mesylate
Trade Name(s):
Aitan and Atan
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable, small-molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, rivoceranib selectively binds to and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, which may inhibit VEGF-stimulated endothelial cell migration and proliferation and decrease tumor microvessel density. In addition, this agent mildly inhibits c-Kit and c-SRC tyrosine kinases.

Rivoceranib has been investigated in 20 clinical trials, of which 18 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials investigating rivoceranib, 3 are phase 1 (2 open), 5 are phase 1/phase 2 (5 open), 8 are phase 2 (7 open), and 4 are phase 3 (4 open).

EGFR Exon 19 Deletion, EGFR L858R, and EGFR A763_Y764insFQEA are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for rivoceranib clinical trials.

Non-small cell lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in rivoceranib clinical trials [2].
