Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, abbreviated EGFR inhibitors, is a class of drugs that blocks the EGF receptor.

EGFR

  • EGFR (aka. ErbB1 or HER1) is a membranous receptor expressed in epithelial cells.
  • Most of activating mutations in NSCLC are in Exon 18-21 (kinase domain).

Drugs

First generation:

Second generation:

  • Dacomitinib (Vizimpro, Pfizer) - not effective when EGFR T790M mutation present.[3]
  • Osimertinib [4]


Note:
