Types of targeted and immunotherapy drugs for mouth and oropharyngeal cancer Cetuximab. Cetuximab is a targeted cancer drug used for mouth and oropharyngeal cancer. It is a type of targeted drug called a monoclonal antibody. It targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and blocks it. EGFR is a protein on the surface of cells.
by F Morgillo 2024 Cited by 101Primary and acquired resistance to anti-EGFR targeted drugs in cancer could affect the efficacy of EGFR targeting. Indeed, gefitinib can reduce
Gefitinib is a drug that inhibits EGFR tyrosine kinase by targeting the ATP cleft within EGFR to prevent EGFR autophosphorylation, resulting in the inhibition of downstream signaling pathways, cell stasis, and/or cell death [31,32].
On the other hand, the amount of EGFR on the cell surface was decreased by inducing the endocytosis of EGFR. Small molecule targeted drugs inhibit the activation of downstream biological signaling pathways by competing with ATP for the tyrosine kinase active site of EGFR. Targeted drugs targeting EGFR approved by FDA
Drug resistance resulting from mutations in EGFR-related genes must be taken into account when employing EGFR-targeted therapy for EC. Ongoing research is focused on the development of EGFR inhibitors for gastric cancer and EC, suggesting that targeting EGFR may be a more effective treatment approach.
In this study, we used a 2D well plate and a 3D lung chip to test the effects of three kinds of EGFR-targeted drugs, (i.e, the first-generation EGFR-targeted drug gefitinib, the second-generation EGFR-targeted drug afatinib, and the third-generation EGFR-targeted drug osimertinib) with different concentrations on the viability of HCI-H1650 cells.
An oral kinase inhibitor targeted against EGFR and used in the treatment of NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Drugs Drug Targets. Drug, Target
Drugs that target EGFR are EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI), which help prevent tumor growth. Currently, 3 generations of EGFR-TKI are being used for
Osimertinib (Tagrisso) is a drug that targets cells with the T790M mutation. The side effects of this drug are similar to those of other EGFR inhibitors. EGFR
