Frequently asked questions about Larotinib

What is Larotinib used for?

Larotinib is an investigational small molecule kinase inhibitor being developed for oncology. It is being studied in clinical trials for esophageal cancer and advanced solid tumors, as well as in healthy volunteers for pharmacokinetic studies. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What does Larotinib target?

Larotinib is a kinase inhibitor, as indicated by its '-tinib' suffix, which denotes a tyrosine kinase inhibitor class. It is designed to target kinases involved in cancer cell growth and proliferation. However, the specific molecular target has not been disclosed in the available clinical trial information.

Who is developing Larotinib?

Larotinib is being developed by Sunshine Biopharma Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. The company's stock is traded under the ticker symbol SBFM. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, with studies being conducted in China.

What phase is Larotinib in?

Larotinib is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. All three of its registered clinical trials are Phase 1 studies, which are designed to evaluate the drug's safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in humans.

What clinical trials is Larotinib in?

Larotinib has three Phase 1 clinical trials registered. NCT05048368 is a pharmacokinetics study in subjects with impaired hepatic function, enrolling 32 participants with esophageal cancer or advanced solid tumors. NCT05057949 is a completed drug-drug interaction study with itraconazole and rifampin in 32 healthy volunteers. NCT05059743 is a completed ADME study of [14C]-Larotinib in 6 healthy male subjects.

Is Larotinib the same as other names?

Larotinib is the primary name used for this investigational drug in clinical trial registrations. No alternative names or aliases have been listed in the available clinical trial information. It is consistently referred to as Larotinib across all registered studies.
