9 months after the last patient enrolled

the duration between the randomization date and the first disease progression (PD) or death (whichever comes first).

Progression-free survival
About 18 months

Frequently asked questions about Surufatinib

What is Surufatinib used for?

Surufatinib is an investigational small molecule being studied for oncology indications including biliary tract cancer, advanced solid tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, and thyroid carcinoma. It is also being evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment and in healthy subjects. All completed trials were Phase 2 or Phase 1/2 studies conducted in China.

Who makes Surufatinib?

Surufatinib is being developed by HUTCHMED (China) Limited, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker HCM. The company has conducted multiple clinical trials of the drug in oncology indications across China.

What phase is Surufatinib in?

Surufatinib is in Phase 2 clinical development. All three completed trials were Phase 2 studies, with one trial being a Phase 1/2 study. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities based on the available data.

What clinical trials is Surufatinib in?

Surufatinib has completed three clinical trials: NCT02614495 in advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma and iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma, NCT02966821 as second-line treatment in biliary tract carcinoma, and NCT04169672 as a single agent or combined with toripalimab in advanced solid tumors. A fourth trial, NCT05077384, was a Phase 1/2 study in Japanese patients.

Is Surufatinib the same as Surufatinib with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine?

Surufatinib is also known as Surufatinib with Nab-paclitaxel, and Gemcitabine. This alternative name refers to the drug being studied in combination with these chemotherapy agents, though the clinical trials listed focus on Surufatinib as a single agent or with toripalimab.

What does Surufatinib target?

Surufatinib is a small molecule that targets multiple kinases involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. It inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R), which are key pathways in cancer progression and immune evasion.
