GtoPdb Ligand ID: 11830

Synonyms: CM-4307 | CM4307 | Sorafenib-d3 | Zepsun®
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Donafenib (CM-4307) is a deuterated derivative of the approved multikinase inhibitor sorafenib. Like sorafenib, it is orally active. Deuteration improves the stability of drug molecules thus extending half-life and increasing systemic exposure. This means that the effective drug dose may be shifted downward, with an associated improvement in tolerability. The medical formulation is donafenib tosylate.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Donafenib (CM-4307) was progressed to clinical evaluations to determine its efficacy against advanced solid tumours. It exhibited superior overall survival results compared to sorafenib in a direct comparison study in patients with unresectable/metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma [3]. Donafenib was granted its first international approval in China (June 2021) [1]. This approval indicated donafenib as a first-line systemic therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
