title: Linifanib.
abstract: Linifanib (A 741439; A-741439; A741439; ABT-869; ABT869; RG3635) is an orally active multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of various cancers. It was being developed by Roche but development has now reverted to Abbott. The compound is designed to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. It is in phase III development for liver cancer and phase II development for non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer in the US, the EU and other areas of the world. This review discusses the key development milestones and therapeutic trials of this drug.
