Oral Navelbine + Carboplatin

Sun Yat-sen University · Phase 3 active Small molecule

Oral Navelbine + Carboplatin is a Combination chemotherapy (vinca alkaloid + platinum agent) Small molecule drug developed by Sun Yat-sen University. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Also known as: Vinorelbine, Carboplat.

Oral Navelbine (vinorelbine) inhibits microtubule assembly to arrest cancer cell division, while carboplatin causes DNA crosslinking and cell death, together providing synergistic cytotoxic activity.

Mechanism of action

Navelbine is a semi-synthetic vinca alkaloid that binds to tubulin and disrupts microtubule dynamics, leading to mitotic arrest in cancer cells. Carboplatin is a platinum-based alkylating agent that forms DNA adducts and interstrand crosslinks, triggering apoptosis. The combination leverages two distinct mechanisms of cytotoxicity for enhanced anti-tumor effect.
