Fruzaqla is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have received prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, anti-VEGF therapy, and, if RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, anti-EGFR therapy.
Fruzaqla is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor that works by blocking the activity of specific tyrosine kinases involved in tumor angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors) and tumor progression.
Common side effects may include hypertension, fatigue, hand-foot syndrome, and proteinuria. Patients should have blood pressure monitored regularly during treatment. Fruzaqla may cause fetal harm; pregnancy should be avoided during treatment. This is a brand-name medication and should only be used as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
