Afatinib in advanced NSCLC: a profile of its use
Afatinib [Giotrif® (EU); Gilotrif® (USA)] is an orally administered, irreversible inhibitor of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinases that provides an important first-line treatment option for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations (i.e. EGFRactMUT+), and an additional treatment option for squamous NSCLC that has progressed fol...
متن کاملAfatinib treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Despite some recent advances in the management of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), prognosis for these patients remains poor. Small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have however provided a new therapeutic option in this disease setting and EGFR mutation testing is now routine practice for newly diagnosed NSCLC patients. A proportion ...
متن کاملCombination of afatinib with cetuximab in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer resistant to EGFR inhibitors
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have shown effectiveness for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating mutations in the EGFR gene. However, resistance to the EGFR TKIs develops mostly secondary to T790M mutation in exon 20. The use of afatinib associated with cetuximab represents a new possibility of therapy following pro...
متن کاملA Phase Ib/II Study of Afatinib in Combination with Nimotuzumab in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with Acquired Resistance to Gefitinib or Erlotinib.
PURPOSE In this phase Ib/II study, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of afatinib plus nimotuzumab (N) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with acquired resistance to gefitinib or erlotinib. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In phase Ib stage, patients received afatinib (40 mg or 30 mg once daily) plus nimotuzumab (100 mg or 200 mg once weekly) for 28-day cycles to determine the...
متن کاملAdvanced EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer: case report, literature review, and treatment recommendations.
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises up to 90% of all lung cancers. Conventional treatment for advanced NSCLC consists of chemotherapy and has a small impact on survival. Molecular targets, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), involved in cell signaling have led to the development of new, targeted therapies ove...
