In May 2025, famitinib was granted conditional approval for use in combination with camrelizumab for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have failed prior platinum-based chemotherapy and have not received prior bevacizumab in China. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of famitinib leading to this first approval for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025</p>
