Geftinib

Abstract: Gefitinib is an orally active, highly selective, reversible inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase domain associated with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR gene mutations, never smoking status, Asian origin and adenocarcinoma histology are associated with good clinical responses to geftinib. Geftinib has generally been tried in the setting of chemotherapy refractory disease in patients who have failed at least one line of therapy. Trials are exploring use of geftinib as first line therapy in patients… Show more

“…Thus, the most targeted area of developing antineoplastic drugs is through the inhibition of EGFR and VEGFR signaling. This therapeutic strategy in oncology has been successful using biologics, cetuximab [26] and ramucirumab [27], as well as small molecules such as gefitinib [28], vandetanib [8], sorafenib, sunitinib [1]. As an example, the direct inhibition of VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase activity with a small molecule (sorafenib and sunitinib) has been recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of renal cell cancer.…”

“…Approximately one third of patients with gefitinib-induced ILD died. The median time to onset of gefitinib-associated ILD was 24 days in Japan and 42 days in America (7). To prevent exacerbation of ILD, early diagnosis and the withdrawal of gefitinib are required, and early administration of high-dose glucocorticoids generally presents curative effects.…”
