So, Tivozanib is a pill that’s known as a VEGFR inhibitor. They use it to treat a really bad type of kidney cancer. The active stuff comes in capsules that either have 890 micrograms or 1.34 milligrams in them.
You’re supposed to take 1.34 milligrams once a day for 21 days while you’re on the treatment cycle. After that, you’ve got a week off, and then you start the 28-day cycle all over again. You can take these capsules with or without food, and they come in a bottle with 21 of them.
Tivozanib stops something called angiogenesis, which helps keep the tumor from growing by cutting off its blood supply.
