VARGATEF® Slide Kit A 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 VEGFR (Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor) PDGFR (Platelet-derived growth factor receptor) FGFR (Fibroblast growth factor receptor) *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 1.

Adenocarcinoma of the lung: Better treatment options after 1st-line failure required 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 EU approvals3,4 Docetaxel approved by EMA for previously treated NSCLC Erlotinib approved by EMA for previously treated NSCLC No approved treatment options after 1st-line chemotherapy In nearly a decade, there has been no significant OS improvement for patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung in the 2nd-line setting 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 Pemetrexed approved by EMA for previously treated NSCLC 1.

Nintedanib: Mechanisms of action Triple angiokinase inhibitor that blocks angiogenesis 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 therapy9,10 Angiogenesis4 Inhibition of angiogenesis2 FGFR, VEGFR, and PDGFR regulate growth of new blood vessels Nintedanib targets FGFR, VEGFR, and PDGFR to inhibit growth of new blood vessels New blood vessels provide nutrients for growth & spread of tumour Tumour is deprived of nutrients required for growth and spread FGFR VEGFR PDGFR FGFR VEGFR PDGFR Nintedanib Anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity 1.
