Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials are currently evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of the focal adhesion kinase inhibitor ifebemtinib (IN10018) in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors and other novel oncology therapeutics. Sponsored by entities such as Capital Medical University and InxMed (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., these Phase 1 and Phase 1b/2 investigations focus on advanced solid tumors and meningioma. Current recruitment statuses for these evaluations include actively recruiting as well as active, not recruiting.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Ifebemtinib selectively binds to and potently inhibits focal adhesion kinase (FAK), suppressing FAK autophosphorylation and disrupting downstream focal adhesion-mediated signaling cascades essential for cellular survival and migration. This targeted enzymatic inhibition impairs cellular spheroid formation and orthotopic tumor expansion, demonstrating clinical relevance for treating advanced solid tumors and meningioma.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
