Gilotrif

(Afatinib)

Phase 3Small molecule

Afatinib is used to treat certain types of lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer with specific genetic mutations. It works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow.[1] Gilotrif is currently being investigated across 40 indications[3], with its most advanced program in Phase 3.[1]

Gilotrif is one of 776 small molecule programs targeting Glioma. It is currently in Phase 3.
