Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Results with available therapies are far from being satisfactory and, therefore, current research is focusing on new anticancer drugs to improve the clinical response of these patients. Nintedanib is an oral multiple tyrosine kinases inhibitor, which targets angiogenesis. Considering the current scenario, the aim of this systematic review is to highlight the prevailing knowledge about pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, and safety of Nintedanib for the treatment of advanced EOC.

Abstract

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Results with available therapies are far from being satisfactory and, therefore, current research is focusing on new anticancer drugs to improve the clinical response of these patients. Nintedanib is an oral multiple tyrosine kinases inhibitor, which targets angiogenesis. Considering the current scenario, the aim of this systematic review is to highlight the prevailing knowledge about pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, and safety of Nintedanib for the treatment of advanced EOC.
