Key product: FOTIVDA® (tivozanib), a next-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is AVEO’s lead candidate, approved by the U.S. FDA in March 2021 for treating relapsed or refractory renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after two or more prior systemic therapies.

The company also explores the potential of AV-380 for treating cancer cachexia, supported by a Phase 1 clinical trial. Other early-stage monoclonal antibodies in development include AV-203 targeting ErbB3 and AV-353 targeting Notch 3.
Recent updates include the commencement of the FIERCE-HN trial, evaluating ficlatuzumab in combination with ERBITUX® for HPV-negative recurrent or metastatic HNSCC, and the release of a significant post-hoc analysis from the TIVO-3 trial, reinforcing FOTIVDA®'s durable clinical benefits.
