Numerous clinical trials have evaluated tivozanib across phase 1, 2, and 3 studies in oncological indications such as renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, biliary tract malignancies, prostate cancer, and recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies like AVEO Pharmaceuticals and Bristol-Myers Squibb, as well as academic institutions including the National Cancer Institute and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, these trials encompass completed, recruiting, terminated, and withdrawn statuses. Examples include a recruiting phase 1/2 trial in biliary tract cancers and a completed phase 1b/2 study in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

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. |
| Regulatory Status | Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. | Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA). |
| Facility Environment | Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. | Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring. |
| Quality Control | Basic purity and activity testing. | Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma). |
| Process Validation | Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. | Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records. |
| Quality Assurance | Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. | Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits. |
| Regulatory Impact | High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. | Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF). |
