Frequently asked questions about Velzatinib

What is Velzatinib?

Velzatinib is an investigational small molecule kinase inhibitor being developed by GSK plc for gastrointestinal neoplasms, including gastrointestinal stromal neoplasms. It is in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA. Velzatinib is being studied in five active clinical trials with a total planned enrollment of about 800 participants.

What is Velzatinib used for in gastrointestinal stromal neoplasms?

Velzatinib is being studied for the treatment of gastrointestinal neoplasms and gastrointestinal stromal neoplasms. It is an investigational therapy in Phase 2 development and is not approved for any indication. One Phase 2 trial, NCT07843641, is evaluating Velzatinib in participants with gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

What does Velzatinib target?

Velzatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor, belonging to the -tinib class of drugs. Kinase inhibitors work by blocking specific enzymes involved in cell signaling. Velzatinib is being developed for gastrointestinal neoplasms, including gastrointestinal stromal neoplasms, and is currently in Phase 2 clinical testing.

Who makes Velzatinib?

Velzatinib is being developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. GSK is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating Velzatinib in gastrointestinal neoplasms and gastrointestinal stromal neoplasms. The drug is currently in Phase 2 development.

What phase is Velzatinib in?

Velzatinib is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational small molecule kinase inhibitor and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. GSK plc is running five active trials, including Phase 1 studies in healthy participants and a Phase 2 study in gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

What clinical trials is Velzatinib in?

Velzatinib is being studied in five active clinical trials. These include NCT07867171, which examines the effects of renal impairment; NCT07862114, which evaluates interactions with omeprazole and cyclosporine; NCT07859735, which assesses hepatic impairment; and NCT07843641, a Phase 2 study in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Total planned enrollment is about 800 participants.
