Since Erlotinib inhibited the growth of cultured schwannoma cells, we examined the effect of drug exposure on its primary molecular target, EGFR. A primary culture of VS cells was prepared and showed preferential phospho-EGFR expression. This VS culture and HMS-97 cells were treated with 5 μM of Erlotinib for 24 hours, and the effect on receptor phosphorylation was assessed using phospho-RTK arrays. Erlotinib-treated VS cells had a noticeable decrease in phospho-EGFR ( Figure 7 ). Treatment of HMS-97 cells, which expressed phosphorylated EGFR, ErbB2, and ErbB4, also led to a decrease in the phosphorylation of these receptors. These data suggest that Erlotinib may indirectly inhibit phosphorylation of ErbB receptor members other than EGFR at the concentration used in the study.

The reversal effect of MRP7-mediated MDR by lapatinib is more potent than that of erlotinib. One possible explanation is due to the dual selectivity of lapatinib on the TKs of both EGFR and HER2 receptors, whereas erlotinib is selective only for EGFR [40 ]. Lapatinib at 2.5 μM also caused a relatively small reduction of the IC 50 of all four drugs we tested in HEK293-pcDNA3.1 cells whereas erlotinib at 2.5 μM only decreased the IC 50 of vinorelbine in HEK293-pcDNA3.1 cells. This may be due to the endogenous expression of drug transporters in HEK293-pcDNA3.1 cells. In addition, neither lapatinib nor erlotinib could significantly alter the sensitivity of HEK293-pcDNA3.1 and HEK-MRP7-2 cells to cisplatin, a compound that is not an MRP7 substrate.

This is a Phase 1/2 study comparing the safety and anti-tumor activity of erlotinib alone versus erlotinib in combination with PF-02341066 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Erlotinib acts through reversible inhibition of the EGFR tyrosine kinase with high selectivity and potency (Moyer et al. 1997 ; Herbst et al. 2005 ). The EGFR is highly expressed in a wide spectrum of tumors such as head and neck, breast, brain, lung, cervical, bladder, gastrointestinal, renal, and other epithelial malignancies, and is a rational strategic target for anticancer therapy (Grandis and Tweardy, 1993 ; Rusch et al. 1993 ; Wikstrand and Bigner, 1998 ; Petty et al. 2004 ; Kumar Pal and Pegram, 2005 ). The experimental evidence indicates that the EGFR overexpression plays a significant role in tumor growth and progression, including the promotion of proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis (Yarden and Sliwkowski, 2001 ). At nanomolar concentrations, erlotinib inhibits EGFR-dependent proliferation of tumor cells in vitro and blocks cell cycle progression in the G 1 phase (Moyer et al. 1997 ; Herbst et al. 2005 ).

Erlotinib is an inhibitor of human Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase (IC50 = 2 nM) and decreases EGFR autophosphorylation in tumor cells (IC50 = 20 nM). Studies in cell lines and enzyme assays have both shown that erlotinib inhibits EGFR at concentrations significantly lower than those needed to inhibit c-src and v-abl.

As already mentioned, people on the tarceva dose must avoid the direct exposure to the sunlight. You should also avoid the tanning beds. While taking tarceva cancer drug, it is best that you cover your body fully with clothing when you are outdoors and also make use of the sunscreen lotion (with SPF specification of 30 or higher). There are some skin products that can cause irritation and dryness. It is best to avoid such products while taking erlotinib as it may aggravate the side effects of tarceva.
Based on the results of pharmacokinetic studies, current smokers should be advised to stop smoking while taking Tarceva, as plasma concentrations could be reduced otherwise.

Therefore, we decided to determine if and how erlotinib and gefitinib antagonize drug extrusion via ABC pumps in KG-1 AML cells, which are known to express limited amounts of P-gp, 23 BCRP 24 and MDR-1. 25 Here, we demonstrate that EGFR-targeting chemicals inhibit the efflux of specific chemotherapeutics from leukemic cells even when these do not overexpress ABC transporters, hence exacerbating drug cytotoxicity in a synergistic or additive fashion. Such a chemosensitization effect persisted in patient-derived blasts, suggesting that the combination of erlotinib and conventional regimens may provide therapeutic benefits to MDS or AML patients.
This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase III study investigated intercalated first-line erlotinib or placebo with gemcitabine/platinum, followed by maintenance erlotinib or placebo, for patients with stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Provision of samples for biomarker analysis was encouraged but not mandatory. The following biomarkers were analyzed (in order of priority): EGFR mutation by cobas ® test, KRAS mutation by cobas ® KRAS test, HER2 by immunohistochemistry (IHC), HER3 by IHC, ERCC1 by IHC, EGFR gene copy number by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and EGFR by IHC. All subgroups were assessed for PFS (primary endpoint), overall survival (OS), non-progression rate and objective response rate.
Patients with pancreatic cancer often have multiple symptoms, and integrated supportive care is critical in helping patients remain well for as long as possible. Fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, as compared with best supportive care alone, improves survival by approximately 3 months. 69 In 1996, a study comparing gemcitabine with fluorouracil in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer showed an improvement in overall survival of 1 month among patients receiving gemcitabine. 70 Over the next 10 years, multiple randomized studies compared single-agent gemcitabine with combination therapy and did not show a consistent improvement in survival. 71 In one exception, the addition of the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib was associated with a significant improvement in overall survival of approximately 2 weeks. 71 Because of its limited effect and added toxicity, adoption of this regimen has not been widespread.

If non small cell lung cancer has spread outside the lung (advanced lung cancer), doctors often treat it with chemotherapy. But if your cancer cells have specific gene changes ( mutations ) that affect a protein called EGFR, you may have treatment with a type of biological therapy called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Erlotinib (also known as Tarceva) is a TKI that doctors can use to treat non small cell lung cancer that has spread.
TARCEVA tablets for oral administration are available in three dosage strengths containing erlotinib hydrochloride (27.3 mg, 109.3 mg and 163.9 mg) equivalent to 25 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg erlotinib and the following inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, hypromellose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, sodium lauryl sulfate and titanium dioxide. The tablets also contain trace amounts of color additives, including FD&C Yellow #6 (25 mg only) for product identification.

Not all EGFR-driven cancers are sensitive to EGFR-targeted TKIs [4 ]. In EGFR-mutated NSCLC, for example, primary resistance is seen in approximately 25% of cases. Where responses are seen, acquired resistance to first-generation TKIs invariably occurs [5 ], often through secondary EGFR mutations [6 ,7 ]. Intriguingly, the selectivity of response to different EGFR-targeted TKIs appears to depend on how the receptor is activated. For example, EGFR activated by TKD (tyrosine kinase domain) mutations in NSCLC can be inhibited by erlotinib and CI-1033 (canertinib) but not by lapatinib or HKI-272 (neratinib), whereas the same receptor activated by extracellular mutations in glioblastoma is conversely inhibited by lapatinib and HKI-272 (neratinib) but not by erlotinib or CI-1033 (canertinib) [3 ].
