Phase I/II of Oral Vorinostat Combination With Erlotinib in NSCLC Patients With EGFR Mutations With DP After Erlotinib.
Background: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological malignancy worldwide. Despite multiple new approaches to treatment, relapse remains almost inevitable in patients with advanced disease. The poor outcome of advanced ovarian cancer treated with conventional therapy stimulated the search for new strategies to improve therapeutic efficacy. Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have known activity in advanced ovarian cancer, the effect of combined therapy against EGFR and PARP in this population has not been reported. In the current study, we investigated the mechanisms of erlotinib used alone or in combination with olaparib (AZD2281), a potent inhibitor of PARP, in an EGFR-overexpressing ovarian tumor xenograft model. Methods: A2780 (EGFR-overexpressing, BRCA1/2 wild-type) cells were subcutaneously injected into nude mice, which were then randomly assigned to treatment with vehicle, erlotinib, AZD2281, or erlotinib + AZD2281, for up to 3 weeks. All mice were then sacrificed and tumor tissues were subjected to Western blot analysis and monodansylcadervarine staining (for analysis of autophagy). Results: Erlotinib could slightly inhibit growth of A2780 tumor xenografts, and AZD2281 alone had similar effects on tumor growth. However, the combination treatment had a markedly enhanced antitumor effect. Western blot analysis revealed that treatment with erlotinib could significantly reduce the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 and AKT in A2780 tumor tissue. Of interest, monodansylcadervarine staining showed that the autophagic effects were substantially enhanced when the agents were combined, which may be due to downregulation of apoptosis. Conclusion: These results suggest that combination of a selective EGFR inhibitor and a PARP inhibitor is effective in ovarian cancer A2780 xenografts, and depends on enhanced autophagy.

Chemotherapy will be limited to 4 courses. Erlotinib will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Why did your mom go on Tarceva? I guess that is the big question here. Is it only used after the traditional chemo stops working?

Ciprofloxacin (Systemic): May increase the serum concentration of Erlotinib. Management: Avoid use of this combination when possible. When the combination must be used, monitor the patient closely for the development of severe adverse reactions, and if such severe reactions occur, reduce the erlotinib dose (in 50 mg decrements). Consider therapy modification
The results of the integrated model must be interpreted in light of limitations. First, the linear link of pEGFR inhibition to tumor volume can not explain the occurrence of nonlinearities caused by drug resistance and either active or saturable processed in the systems. Yamazaki et al provided an E max model to describe the quantitative relationship between PD biomarkers and tumor growth and to investigate this complex PK/PD relationship, more study designs are required to explain the nonlinear aspect of the relationship 27. Second, the pEGFR inhibitor erlotinib might inhibit tumor growth through a variety of additional biomarker responses. Therefore, to better understand the PK/PD relationships, more mechanistic PK/PD models are needed. Additionally, multiple biomarker response studies and intensive sampling at multiple doses are required.

Venkateshappa Chandregowda et al. in Synthetic Communications 2007, vol.37, pp. 3409-3415. also describe a process for preparing 6,7-dihydroxy-4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives which avoids the use of the unstable 4-chloroquinazoline intermediate. The process comprises converting the 6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)-quinazolone into 6,7-bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-quinazolin-4(3H)-thione by reacting the starting material with phosphorous pentasulfide and pyridine and maintaining the reaction mixture for 24 hours under reflux. The compound obtained is converted into 4-(methylthio)-6,7-bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-quinazoline by dissolving the 6,7-bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-quinazolin-4(3H)-thione in methanol in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide and methyl iodide. Finally, the compound obtained is converted into erlotinib hydrochloride by reacting it with 3-ethynylaniline and 3-ethynylaniline hydrochloride in isopropanol as solvent. The main drawback of this process is the use of sulphur-containing reactants. This type of reactants shows difficulties when operating at industrial scale due to their bad odours and in some cases their toxicity. Thus, bad odours are not only a problem when carrying out the reaction, but also in the residues generated such as the mother liquors. In addition, during the conversion of 4-(methylthio)-6,7-bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-quinazoline into erlotinib, a mol of methanethiol is released for each mol of reacted 4-(methylthio)-6,7-bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-quinazoline. The methanethiol is a colorless flammable gas with an extremely strong and repulsive smell and is highly toxic.
Thus, there is a need in the art for a process for producing erlotinib hydrochloride crystalline polymorph form A substantially free of polymorph B.
I just found this group. My husband was diagnosed with Stage IIIA NSC lung cancer 18 mos ago. He received 2 mos of radiation treatments plus 16 mos of various chemotherapy drugs. One lymph node cleared but the tumor remained, although it did not grow and the last PET scan done in late Aug. showed significant necrotic tissue and no cancer anywhere else. He was started on Tarceva 6 wks ago and testing was done for EGFR. The testing was unsuccessful because all they could get out of the tumor was necrotic (dead) tissue. From what I read of what Bobby wrote. if you aren't positive for EGFR, it's pretty much hopeless. Don't know what to make of that.
Tarceva resistance. Now what?
Conclusions Single-agent erlotinib was active and well tolerated in NSCLC patients with BM. Further studies are warranted.
Conclusions: Erlotinib had higher rate of skin disorders and lower rate of liver dysfunctions than gefitinib. The patients who caused liver dysfunctions by gefitinib may have a decrease of liver damages when the treatment was changed to erlotinib.

Cases of serious ILD. including fatal cases, can occur with Erlotinib treatment. The overall incidence of ILD in approximately 32,000 Erlotinib-treated patients in uncontrolled studies and studies with concurrent chemotherapy was approximately 1.1%. In patients with ILD. the onset of symptoms was between 5 days to more than 9 months (median 39 days) after initiating Erlotinib therapy. Withhold Erlotinib for acute onset of new or progressive unexplained pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea. cough, and fever pending diagnostic evaluation. If ILD is confirmed, permanently discontinue Erlotinib.

In this study, 24.2% of response rate was achieved with erlotinib monotherapy for advanced and/or metastatic NSCLC in Korean patients, most of whom had previously failed standard chemotherapy, which is better than the response rate of 8.9% observed in the BR.21 study (3 ). Interestingly, the response rate was similar to that achieved in a phase II study of erlotinib monotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC in western patients, which was weighted toward individuals with higher chances of having EGFR gene mutations (16 ). Therefore, the higher response rate observed in the present study, even in a salvage setting, is most probably explicable by ethnic differences in the efficacy of erlotinib.
