Its lead asset, tivozanib (FOTIVDA), is approved in the US for relapsed/refractory renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and has shown promise in other solid tumors. The company also has a pipeline including ficlatuzumab (anti-HGF) in phase 2 for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and other early-stage candidates.
