Fotivda (tivozanib) is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following two or more prior systemic therapies.
- The VEGF pathway plays an important role in cancer angiogenesis and VEGFR-TKIs are an established treatment option for renal cell carcinoma. Tivozanib works as a potent, selective, long half-life inhibitor of all three VEGFRs, and is designed to optimize VEGF blockade efficacy with improved safety and tolerability relative to other VEGFR-TKIs.
- Fotivda is taken once daily with or without food for 21 days on-treatment followed by 7 days off-treatment (28-day cycle) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Common adverse reactions include fatigue, hypertension, diarrhea, decreased appetite, nausea, dysphonia, hypothyroidism, cough, stomatitis, and laboratory abnormalities.
