High Quality - Low Cost Anti-Cancer Drugs

The reason I am so interested in this subject is that I recently lost my wife to NSCLC. She received chemotherapy, radiation, and Tarceva. We were not aware of all of these alternative treatments. I spent all of my time taking care of her, so I did not have much time to do the research that I am doing now. We were never advised of the grim prognosis we faced. If we would have been aware that her treatments had no chance of cure, we would not have taken chemo. The toxic side affects of the chemo are what got her.

Iressa and drugs such as Gleevac and Tarceva are part of a relatively new class of drugs. Unlike standard chemotherapy drugs, the new class specifically targets a gene in tumors called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This receptor helps tumors grow and spread, and these drugs block this receptor.
Continue erlotinib at current dose and monitor for change in severity; continue treatment of rash
The trial wasn’t designed to compare the two treatment strategies, and the investigators didn’t go out of their way to provide comparative results. Nevertheless, there are some conclusions that we can make. The RR of 33% in EGFR wild type patients is clearly better with chemo/Tarceva than the 9% noted above for similar patients who received Tarceva alone, and PFS was also clearly superior for EGFR wild type patients who received chemo/Tarceva (4.8 mo vs. 2.7 months). However, when we look at the more longitudinal question of OS. we see that the median OS for EGFR wild type patients who received chemo/Tarceva was 13.7 months, compared with 18.1 months for those EGFR wild type patients who started with Tarceva alone. It’s hard for me to conclude that there’s an advantage to combining EGFR TKI therapy with standard chemo for those patients without an EGFR mutation, even if it’s clear that such patients are better served by starting with chemotherapy rather than deferring on chemo while pursuing a less effective EGFR -based initial treatment.

18 . The process according to claim 17. wherein said non-aqueous solvent system is a mixture of 2B-ethanol and water and said anhydrous erlotinib hydrochloride is Form B.
The serum concentration of Erlotinib can be increased when it is combined with Amsacrine.
The most common adverse reactions in pancreatic cancer patients receiving erlotinib 100 mg plus gemcitabine were fatigue, rash, nausea, anorexia and diarrhea. In the erlotinib plus gemcitabine arm, Grade 3/4 rash and diarrhea were each reported in 5% of erlotinib plus gemcitabine-treated patients. The median time to onset of rash and diarrhea was 10 days and 15 days, respectively. Rash and diarrhea each resulted in dose reductions in 2% of patients, and resulted in study discontinuation in up to 1% of patients receiving erlotinib plus gemcitabine. The 150 mg cohort was associated with a higher rate of certain class-specific adverse reactions including rash and required more frequent dose reduction or interruption.

Erlotinib for Pretreated Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung in Japanese Patients
There is no optimal treatment for patients with recurrent head and neck cancer after previous radiation. Chemotherapy alone is not curative and patients survive an average of only 6 to 10 months. Surgery is not always possible and often cannot remove every cancerous cell. On the other hand, reirradiation with chemotherapy cures approximately 25 to 30% of patients but has significant toxicity with as many as 15 to 20% suffering from life-threatening or fatal complications. Therefore, less toxic and more effective reirradiation regimens are urgently needed. There are extensive data from animal studies and preliminary human studies showing that blocking epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and COX-2 enhances radiation effect and is more effective than either treatment alone. Erlotinib is a FDA approved oral inhibitor of EGFR and celecoxib is a FDA approved COX-2 inhibitor. Both have been well studied in humans and appear to have less severe toxicity than conventional chemotherapeutic agents.
Erlotinib Hydrochloride // CAS 183319-69-9
In our study we have used the DAKO antibody kit system for EGFR protein expression assessment. The 10% cutoff level for a positive result was chosen at the outset as the most discriminating cutoff limit based on previous studies. The same antibody and cutoff criteria were used in the erlotinib BR21 study, and both studies showed an association between EGFR protein expression and clinical outcome. 11
In a recent post, I described the approval of taxotere as a second-line chemotherapy with a modest but survival benefit for patients previously treated with one line of chemo, usually a platinum-based doublet. Two years ago, erlotinib/tarceva, an inhibitor of a target on many NSCLC tumors called the epidermal growth factor receptor, was approved by the FDA as an additional treatment option for previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. based on a large randomized clinical trial led by the National Cancer Institute of Canada that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (BR.21 abstract here ), demonstrating the importance of the results.

For patients with pretreated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). who do not harbor targetable molecular alterations, erlotinib may have similar efficacy compared with chemotherapy, a study in press for publication in Lung Cancer suggests. 1
Median survival time (with second-line treatment censored) was 44.9 weeks (erlotinib) and 48.7 weeks (placebo; HR, 1.08), whereas median survival regardless of second-line therapy was 43 and 44.1 weeks for the erlotinib and placebo groups, respectively (HR, 1.06).

EU approval for Tarceva was based on a pivotal Phase III study, BR.21, published in the New England Journal of Medicine. BR.21 was conducted by the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group, in collaboration with OSI Pharmaceuticals, with the participation of 86 sites from 17 countries around the world. This study involved 731 patients with advanced NSCLC whose cancers had progressed after first- or second-line chemotherapy and compared patients receiving Tarceva monotherapy with placebo.

There has been quite a lot of discussion recently about the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), erlotinib (Tarceva) and gefitinib (Iressa). Recently however the final results of the FLEX trial were published in The Lancet. bringing attention back to one of the antibodies against EGFR. cetuximab (Erbitux).
