Frequently asked questions about Afatinib

What is Afatinib used for in glioblastoma?

Afatinib is being studied as a treatment for recurrent glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. It is currently in early Phase 1 clinical development for this indication. The drug is being evaluated in a pilot trial enrolling patients with recurrent glioblastoma who are at least 18 years old.

What does Afatinib target?

Afatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor, belonging to the -tinib class of drugs. It works by inhibiting certain kinase enzymes, which are involved in cell signaling and growth. This mechanism is being explored in the context of treating recurrent glioblastoma, where kinase activity can drive tumor progression.

Who is developing Afatinib for glioblastoma?

Afatinib is being developed by Avalon GloboCare Corp., a biopharmaceutical company traded under the ticker ALBT. The company is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial for the drug in recurrent glioblastoma. This trial is currently recruiting participants in Canada.

What phase is Afatinib in for glioblastoma?

Afatinib is in early Phase 1 clinical development for recurrent glioblastoma. The ongoing trial is an early Phase 1 study, meaning it is in the initial stage of testing in humans. The drug is investigational and has not yet been approved for this use.

What clinical trials is Afatinib in for glioblastoma?

Afatinib is being studied in a single clinical trial identified as NCT05432518, titled "Pilot Trial for Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma." This is an early Phase 1, uncontrolled, open-label study with a planned enrollment of 10 participants. The trial is currently recruiting and is being conducted in Canada.

Is Afatinib the same as other drugs?

Afatinib is a distinct drug entity and is not known by alternative names in the context of this development program. It is a small molecule kinase inhibitor being investigated for recurrent glioblastoma by Avalon GloboCare Corp. No other names for this drug have been associated with this specific trial.
