A Novel Multi-Kinase Inhibitor for Combination Therapies
Vorolanib is a next-generation, small-molecule, multi-kinase inhibitor designed for combination therapies1
- Vorolanib is a highly potent, orally administered compound that provides intermittent inhibition of angiogenesis with once-daily dosing1
- As monotherapy, vorolanib was well tolerated, with promising efficacy in a phase 1 trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (n = 59)1
- Vorolanib showed a short half-life (≤ 8.5 hours), and no drug accumulation was observed after 21 days of dosing1
- Vorolanib had a safety profile consistent with that of an angiogenesis inhibitor. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (29%), nausea (23%), and diarrhea (21%), mostly low grade; the most common grade 3 adverse event was proteinuria (4%)
- Vorolanib has demonstrated promising safety and efficacy in combination with everolimus in a phase 1 study in patients with advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) in China2
- Trials of vorolanib in combination with immuno-oncology agents in solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, melanoma, thymic carcinoma, and RCC, are ongoing
