- Annotation of PMDA Label for erlotinib and EGFR
- Annotation of HCSC Label for erlotinib and EGFR
1. Annotation of FDA Label for erlotinib and EGFR
Summary
TARCEVA (erlotinib) is a kinase inhibitor indicated for First-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) substitution mutations as detected by an FDA-approved test. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of EGFR mutations in NSCLC is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

2. Annotation of EMA Label for erlotinib and EGFR,UGT1A1
Summary
The EMA European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) requires testing tumours for EGFR mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer prior to treatment with erlotinib and recommends using a well-validated method of testing. The drug should be used with caution in patients with low expression of UGT1A1 or Gilbert's disease (caused by genetic variants in UGT1A1 gene), due to the inhibitory effects of erlotinib on glucuronidation by UGT1A1 (UGT1A1 genetic testing is not required).

3. Annotation of PMDA Label for erlotinib and EGFR
Summary
The PMDA package insert for erlotinib states that it is indicated for recurrent and/or advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer that is positive for an EGFR gene mutation and has not been previously treated with chemotherapy.

4. Annotation of HCSC Label for erlotinib and EGFR
Summary
The product monograph for erlotinib (TARCEVA) states that it is indicated for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have a confirmed activating EGFR mutation.

It remains the responsibility of the health-care provider to determine the best course of treatment for a patient. Adherence to any guideline is voluntary, with the ultimate determination regarding its application to be made solely by the clinician and the patient. PharmGKB assumes no responsibility for any injury or damage to persons or property arising out of or related to any use of the PharmGKB clinical annotations, or for any errors or omissions.

Description

Pharmacogenetics
There are two kinds of mutations in EGFR that influence efficacy of erlotinib:
Mutations that increase drug sensitivity such as L858R (rs121434568) and exon 19 deletions. These are somatic gain-of-function mutations that are cancer-driving and activate EGFR, making it more sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, TKIs, such as erlotinib. These are discussed further in the EGFR VIP gene summary.
Secondary mutations that result in aquired resistance to TKIs including T790M (rs121434569) [Article:15737014]. These are also discussed further in the EGFR VIP gene summary.
