WHAT FOTIVDA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in Fotivda is tivozanib, which is a protein
kinase inhibitor. Tivozanib reduces the
supply of blood to the cancer, which slows down the growth and spread
of cancer cells. It works by
blocking the action of a protein called vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF). Blocking the action
of VEGF prevents the formation of new blood vessels.
Fotivda is used to treat adults with advanced kidney cancer. It is
used where other treatments such as
interferon-alpha or interleukin-2 have either not yet been used or
have not helped to stop your disease.
