Cediranib is a once-daily, orally available, highly potent and selective VEGF signalling inhibitor that inhibits all three VEGF receptors. The preclinical profile of Cediranib indicates that it has the potential to be the 'best in class' VEGF signalling inhibitor. Phase I data indicate that Cediranib is generally well tolerated, with the most common dose related adverse events being diarrhoea, hoarseness, headache and hypertension.

Cediranib inhibits vacular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). By forming a blockade at the VEGF receptors, Cediranib limits the growth of new blood vessels, which are essential to supporting tumor growth. Thus, lacking sufficient blood supply, tumor cells become starved for nutrients, slowing or halting growth and potentially improving the efficacy of other treatments. Preclinical evidence indicated that the drug had a high affinity at these sites, and was well tolerated and efficacious in animal studies.
