VARGATEF® SLIDE KITA short overview of VARGATEF®
in advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung
Nintedanib is approved in the European union (EU) under the brand name VARGATEF® for use in combination with docetaxel in adult patients with locally advanced, metastatic or locally recurrent NSCLC of adenocarcinoma tumour histology after first-line chemotherapy. Registration conditions differ internationally, please refer to locally approved prescribing information. Nintedanib is not approved in other oncology indications.
What is VARGATEF®?
• VARGATEF® (nintedanib) is a new treatment for advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung*
• VARGATEF® is a triple angiokinase inhihitor, which blocks angiogenesis1,2
• VARGATEF® targets 3 of the key growth factor receptors involved in angiogenesis and tumour growth2,3
*VARGATEF® is indicated in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced, metastatic or locally recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of adenocarcinoma tumour histology after 1st-line chemotherapy.2

Lung cancer is common and has a poor prognosis
Lung cancer is responsible for the greatest number of cancer deaths worldwide1
Lung cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage, resulting in a poor prognosis
• Approximately 68% of patients are diagnosed at stage III or IV2
• One-year survival from lung cancer is strongly relatedto stage at diagnosis2

Adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer1,2

• Targeted therapy is available for lung cancer patients who carry actionable mutations (e.g. EGFR-mutations, ALK rearrangements)2
• However, over 75% of lung tumours do not carry a mutation that can be effectively targeted2

In nearly a decade, there has been no significant OS improvement for patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung in the
2nd-line setting
Adenocarcinoma of the lung: Better treatment options after 1st-line failure required
No approved treatment options after 1st-line chemotherapy
• Current treatment options after 1st-line chemotherapy are limited• Median OS is <1 year with docetaxel, pemetrexed, or erlotinib1,2
• Major unmet clinical need for more effective and well-tolerated treatment options after 1st-line chemotherapy1

• Nintedanib targets three growth factor receptor families crucially involved in angiogenesis:1-3 VEGFR, PDGFR and FGFR. Targeting these multiple receptors may be required for effective blockage of angiogenesis, so that the tumour does not find an alternative route to grow and spread3
• Nintedanib has also shown consistent anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity in animal models, and anti-fibrotic effect in primary human lung fibroblasts5-7
• Aberrant tumour stroma (TAFs) support cancer initiation, growth, invasion and metastasis as well as stemness and resistance to therapies.8 Nintedanib may interfere selectively with the accumulation of TAFs in lung adenocarcinoma
• Nintedanib does not induce EMT, a predictor of poor prognosis and associated with resistance to therapy 9,10
