Frequently asked questions about Zanzalintinib

What is zanzalintinib?

Zanzalintinib is an investigational oral small molecule kinase inhibitor being developed by Exelixis, Inc. for the treatment of cancer. It is being studied in advanced solid tumors including leiomyosarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, aggressive variant prostate carcinoma, and colorectal cancer. It is also known as XL092.

What does zanzalintinib target?

Zanzalintinib targets VEGFR2, MET, AXL, and MERTK, a set of receptor kinases involved in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune evasion. It belongs to the -tinib class of kinase inhibitors. By inhibiting these targets, zanzalintinib is designed to affect both tumor blood supply and the tumor microenvironment.

Who is developing zanzalintinib?

Zanzalintinib is being developed by Exelixis, Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker EXEL. Exelixis is sponsoring the clinical program evaluating zanzalintinib across multiple solid tumor indications, including combinations with immunotherapy and other agents.

What phase is zanzalintinib in?

Zanzalintinib is investigational and remains in clinical development. Its trials span Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, including a Phase 3 study in colorectal cancer with molecular residual disease. It has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is zanzalintinib in?

Zanzalintinib is being studied in several trials, including NCT07750158, a Phase 3 study in colorectal cancer with molecular residual disease; NCT07845786, a Phase 2 study with pembrolizumab in squamous NSCLC; NCT07878689, a Phase 1 study with tegavivint in hepatocellular carcinoma; and NCT07773454, a Phase 1 pediatric solid tumor study.

Is zanzalintinib the same as XL092?

Yes, zanzalintinib is the same drug as XL092. XL092 is the earlier code name used for the compound, and zanzalintinib is its current name. Both refer to the same investigational VEGFR2, MET, AXL, and MERTK kinase inhibitor developed by Exelixis.
