New Monoclonal Antibodies Increased Survival in Lung Cancer Patients
A new study showed that non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have high level of Met proteins in their tumor can have their survival increase three-fold by receiving experimental antibody MetMAb in combination with erlotinib (Tarceva). In the trial, 137 previously-treated … Continue reading

Afatinib Extend Time to Tumor Progression in Advanced Lung Cancer
Currently, no treatment exists for lung cancer patients with epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR) mutation who have failed tyrosine kinase inhibitors, getifinib (Iressa) or erlotinib (Tarceva). However, an investigational drug, afatinib (BIBW 2992), was recently found to increase progression-free survival and … Continue reading

First-Line Erlotinib Triples Progression-Free Survival in NSCLC in Chinese Population
First-line erlotinib (Tarceva) tripled the progression-free survival in advanced non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients who had endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation, according to the OPTIMAL study presented at the 35th European Society for Medical Oncology Congress. The study … Continue reading
