Overview

Fruquintinib + paclitaxel is a combination therapy evaluated for the treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, particularly as a second-line option. Fruquintinib is an oral, highly selective small-molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) 1, 2, and 3. By blocking these receptors, fruquintinib inhibits tumor angiogenesis—the process by which tumors develop new blood vessels to support their growth and metastasis[3][4][6][8]. Paclitaxel is a well-established chemotherapeutic agent that stabilizes microtubules and prevents cell division. The combination has demonstrated improved progression-free survival compared to paclitaxel alone in phase III clinical trials for patients with previously treated advanced gastric cancer[1][2][3][8]. Fruquintinib was developed by HUTCHMED and marketed under the brand name Fruzaqla; it has been approved for metastatic colorectal cancer in several regions.
