BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT/PARIS (dpa-AFX) - Takeda (TAK) announced the European
Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has
recommended the approval of fruquintinib, a selective inhibitor of vascular
endothelial growth factor receptors for the treatment of adult patients with
previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer or mCRC. The company said, if
approved, fruquintinib will be the first and only selective inhibitor of all
three VEGF receptors approved in the EU for previously treated mCRC.

Fruquintinib was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in November
2023 and is marketed under the brand name FRUZAQLA.
