Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Cycle 1 (cycle length equal to [=] 28 days)

Dose-limiting toxicity was defined as: Any Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity; Any Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity related to study drug except for nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, hypertension, and electrolyte imbalances downgraded within 3-days with appropriate supportive treatment; Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>3 days; Grade 3 febrile neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\] \<1.0\*10\^9 per liter \[/L\] with a single temperature of greater than (\>) 38.3 degree centigrade (°C) or a sustained temperature of greater than or equal to (\>=) 38°C for more than 1 hour); Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with bleeding; Dose interruption for \>14 days due to toxicity.

Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
From first dose of study drug up to 37 days after last dose of study drug (i.e., up to 29 months)

TEAEs were defined as AEs that started or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study medication and no later than 37 days after the date of last study treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) was any AE that had any of the following characteristics: Fatal (that was, the AE actually caused or led to death, except for deaths caused by the progress of disease); Life threatening (that was, AE, in view of the investigator, places participant at immediate risk of death); Required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization (excluding emergency or outpatient treatment); Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (that was, the AE resulted in substantial disruption of the participant's ability to conduct normal life functions).

Dose Expansion Phase: Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate

PFS was defined as time from date of first dosing until date of an objective disease progression (PD) as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. PFS was determined using all data until last evaluable visit prior to or on date of: (i) radiographic PD per RECIST v1.1; (ii) withdrawal of consent to obtain additional scans on study; or (iii) initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy other than study drugs, whichever was earlier. PFS rate was defined as probability of being disease progression free at selected timepoints such as 16 weeks and was calculated using Brookmeyer-Crowley method based on PFS events observed up to 29 months. PD:at least 20 percent (%) increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study, including baseline; an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm) in sum of diameters of target lesions; and appearance of one or more new lesions.

Frequently asked questions about Fruquintinib in Combination with Sintilimab

What is fruquintinib+sintilimab?

Fruquintinib+sintilimab is an investigational combination of two anticancer agents studied together in advanced solid tumors, including advanced endometrial cancer and advanced renal cell carcinoma. Fruquintinib is an oral small molecule kinase inhibitor, and sintilimab is an anti-PD-1 antibody. The combination is being developed by HUTCHMED (China) Limited under ticker HCM.

What does fruquintinib target?

Fruquintinib inhibits FLT1, FLT4, and KDR, which are vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, and it is classified as an inhibitor. Blocking these receptors is intended to suppress tumor angiogenesis. Sintilimab, the partner agent in this combination, is a separate immunotherapy that targets the PD-1 pathway.

Who makes fruquintinib+sintilimab?

HUTCHMED (China) Limited, which trades under the ticker HCM, is developing the fruquintinib plus sintilimab combination. The company is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the pairing in advanced endometrial cancer and advanced renal cell carcinoma, among other solid tumor settings.

What phase is fruquintinib+sintilimab in?

The fruquintinib plus sintilimab combination is in Phase 3 development. The Phase 3 study is enrolling patients with advanced endometrial cancer. Earlier-stage work in the combination includes a completed Phase 2 trial in advanced renal cell carcinoma. Fruquintinib has received FDA Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designations.

What clinical trials is fruquintinib+sintilimab in?

The Phase 3 trial NCT06584032 is recruiting 412 women with advanced endometrial cancer in China. The completed Phase 2 FRUSICA-2 trial, NCT05522231, enrolled 265 patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Two completed Phase 1 studies, NCT05368805 and NCT05216367, examined drug interactions and hepatic impairment.

Is fruquintinib the same as HMPL-013?

Yes, HMPL-013 is another designation for fruquintinib, the oral small molecule kinase inhibitor in this combination. Fruquintinib is also studied with other partners, including paclitaxel, and separately with sintilimab. Searches for fruquintinib plus sintilimab refer to the same combination of these two agents developed by HUTCHMED.
