EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Monoclonal Antibodies: Clinical Trial Review

Kathryn F. Mileham, Edward S. Kim, William N. William

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted agents have been extensively evaluated for management of recurrent/metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancers. Clinical trials utilizing EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and antibodies have been completed in the frontline setting, as well as in the settings of maintenance and salvage therapy. In this chapter, the results of the main studies on this topic will be reviewed. Novel strategies related to targeting the EGFR axis will also be discussed.
