FRUZAQLA (fruquintinib)
FRUZAQLA is indicated for the treatment of Colorectal Cancer.
How FRUZAQLA Works
Fruquintinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor that selectively targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR)-1, -2, and -3. By inhibiting these receptors, the drug blocks VEGF-mediated endothelial cell proliferation, tubular formation, and VEGFR-2 phosphorylation. This action suppresses tumor angiogenesis and inhibits overall tumor growth.

1 indicationsFRUZAQLA is approved for 1 conditions since its original approval in 2023. These indications span multiple therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology, and more.
- Colorectal Cancer
FRUZAQLA Target & Pathway
ProTarget
Receptors on blood vessel cells that respond to VEGF signals to form new blood vessels. Cancer cells exploit this pathway to ensure blood supply for tumor growth. Blocking VEGFRs prevents tumor angiogenesis and limits cancer progression.
Pathway Context
VEGFR on blood vessels is activated by VEGF to promote angiogenesis
A signaling protein that stimulates the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Tumors need blood supply to grow, so they secrete VEGF to create new vessels. Blocking VEGF starves tumors of oxygen and nutrients, inhibiting their growth.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Trial Activity Stage
Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.
Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.
- Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
- Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
- Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
- Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
- Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
