Catequentinib (INN; formerly anlotinib) is a pharmaceutical drug for the treatment of cancer. It is approved in China for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients who have undergone progression or recurrence after at least two lines of systemic chemotherapy.[1] It is also approved in China as a second‑line treatment for advanced soft-tissue sarcoma.[2]

Catequentinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets several different proteins including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR), and c-kit.[3]

Adverse effects include hypertension, fatigue, thyroid-stimulating hormone elevation, and hand-foot syndrome, among others.[4]
