Clinical Trials

Linifanib (ABT-869) has been evaluated in multiple Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials targeting solid tumors, including advanced non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, recurrent colorectal carcinoma, and endometriosis. Sponsored by pharmaceutical entities and academic research institutes, these studies investigated drug interactions, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic efficacy. The broader clinical program reflects varying recruitment statuses, encompassing completed, terminated, and withdrawn trials.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Linifanib functions as a potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) tyrosine kinase families, effectively blocking downstream pro-survival and angiogenic signaling pathways to induce tumor cell apoptosis and suppress cell proliferation. This targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition impairs tumor neovascularization and cell survival, providing a therapeutic rationale for its clinical evaluation in advanced solid tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
