The European Medicines Agency has recommended Fruzaqla, Truqap, and Eribulin Baxter for use in the treatment of specific colorectal and breast cancers.
At its April 2024 meeting, the European Medicines Agency Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use made recommendations for Fruzaqla, Truqap, and, 20% of patients have metastatic disease at presentation and another 25% who present with localized disease will later develop metastases.
Fruquintinib is a kinase inhibitor that works on the principle of inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. As a selective oral inhibitor of VEGFR-1, -2, and -3, the drug effectively blocks the pathways that facilitate blood vessel formation in tumors.trial found that treatment with fruquintinib resulted in a significant and clinically meaningful benefit in overall survival compared with placebo in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer — median overall survival was 7.
Eribulin is an antineoplastic agent that inhibits the growth phase of microtubules without affecting the shortening phase. It also sequesters tubulin into nonproductive aggregates, preventing microtubule assembly. By disrupting mitotic spindles, eribulin blocks the cell cycle leading to apoptotic cell death.
Halaven has been authorized in the European Union since March 17, 2011. Because eribulin is administered intravenously and is 100% bioavailable, a bioequivalence study vs the reference product Halaven was not required, explained the EMA.All material on this website is protected by copyright, Copyright © 1994-2024 by WebMD LLC.
