There are two exciting updates for metastatic colorectal cancer patients related to FRUZAQLA® (fruquintinib).

As of 10/1/25, FRUZAQLA® (fruquintinib) is covered at Cigna Healthcare*+.

Additionally, as of 7/1/25, FRUZAQLA® (fruquintinib) has been covered on CVS Caremark National Template Formularies.

These updates mean that most commercial patients will have more rapid access to FRUZAQLA and a lower co-pay.

This also means that ~95% of commercial lives are now covered for FRUZAQLA.

The hope is that these formulary updates help improve patient access and time to treatment start for FRUZAQLA.

For patients with commercial insurance who are concerned about out-of-pocket costs, the Takeda Oncology Co-Pay Assistance Program may be able to help reduce the out-of-pocket costs associated with FRUZAQLA. Terms and Conditions Apply.

Liver Cancer Fact

What are the Symptoms of Liver Cancer?

Most of the time liver cancer in the early stages does not cause symptoms. If symptoms are present, they may include:

unexplained weight loss

on-going lack of appetite

fullness after a small meal

a swollen liver or a mass that can be felt in the area of the liver

ongoing stomach pain extending to the back and shoulder

a swollen abdomen

yellow-green color to the skin and eyes (jaundice)

increased symptoms of illness in those who have chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis

The above symptoms could be caused by liver cancer, but they also can be caused by other cancers or conditions. It is important to report any of these symptoms to a doctor.
