• Recent ClinicalTrials: The Phase III Study of Icaritin Versus Sorafenib in PD-L1 Positive Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Subjects
• Uses: Icaritin is a hydrolytic product of Icariin, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine extracted from the Epimedium genus. Icaritin and Desmethylicaritin, is two metabolites of Icariin, dramatically inhibit the growth of most malignant cells. They also have significant antiangiogenesis properties, inhibiting or eliminating entirely the development of new malignant cells. Icaritin has been used in trials studying the treatment of Solid Tumors, Metastatic Breast Cancer, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
