High Quality - Low Cost Anti-Cancer Drugs

Does cancer tend to change after treatment stops? I thought it was more likely for cancer to change in response to treatment. My concern is that being on Tarceva for an extended period of time will most likely bring about some sort of resistance sooner than later, thus, completely eliminating it as a treatment option for me.
I think the projection is something like mid-year or Q3 for afatinib approval. However, while there’s some reason to think that afatinib might possibly be more effective than Tarceva or Iressa in EGFR mutation-positive patients, there’s really no compelling evidence of that right now, and I must confess that I’m skeptical it will be more of anything other than more challenging for side effects than Tarceva or Iressa in EGFR mutation-positive patients.
Dr Sullivan would like expensive medicines such as Tarceva - Mrs Owen pays $4500 a month in the private health sector - to be state-funded for the group for which they work. He suggests Pharmac or drug companies consider funding patients to receive a drug initially for a month to see if it works.

1. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have child-bearing potential & are unwilling/unable to use an acceptable method of contraception for the entire study period & for at least 4 weeks after cessation of the study drugs. If the pregnancy test is positive, the patient must not receive erlotinib, & must not be enrolled on the study. Erlotinib is a signal transduction inhibitor agent w/ the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.

In spring, 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning on the cancer drug Erlocip (Erlotinib). The FDA reported serious gastrointestinal tract, skin, and ocular disorders in patients taking the drug. In addition, according to a letter released by Genentech and OSI Pharmaceuticals, some people prescribed Erlocip (Erlotinib) have developed serious or fatal gastrointestinal tract perforations; "bullous, blistering, and exfoliative skin conditions, some fatal; and serious eye problems such as corneal lesions. Some of the cases, including ones which resulted in death, were suggestive ofStevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis.
How can these treatments lead to clear improvement in the early result of PFS. which measures the beneficial effect of the first treatment, and then switch to a trend of harmful effect for OS. The short answer is that we don’t know if this is a real effect. It hasn’t been seen consistently and didn’t reach statistical significance, but it raises the question to me of whether the sequence of therapy may be important. Though we’ve largely presumed that it shouldn’t matter if you give an EGFR TKI or most therapies now or 6 months from now, as long as a patient is still fit enough to tolerate it, we’ve seen hints that this may not be true. For instance, the TORCH trial looked at molecularly unselected patients in Europe (very few of them likely to have an EGFR mutation) and randomized patients to cisplatin/gemcitabine initially, followed by Tarceva at progression or Tarceva initially, followed by cisplatin/gemcitabine at progression (see figure below for visual representation). While we might have suspected that both groups would perform comparably if getting the same drugs over time, the trial was actually terminated early, after a significant survival difference was seen that favored initial chemotherapy:

The respondent did not object to the admission of document (

into the proceedings. The methods used therein for the recrystallisations of Form B erlotinib hydrochloride were unrelated to those employed in the patent in suit, and the products produced had been labelled as Forms A and E, with reference to the patent in suit and a family member of document (1). No firm basis had been provided for this assignment. Therefore, contrary to the contention of the appellant, the results in document (

could not be used to corroborate the reliability of the data provided in the patent in suit. At best, its disclosure supported the respondent's case that the claimed subject-matter lacked novelty. As was the case for the patent in suit, the authors of document (

had been unable to distinguish between the polymorphs designated as Forms A and E based on their XRPD patterns. It must therefore be concluded that these were one and the same. The differences in the other properties, such as melting point and dissolution profile, could be explained by the differences that were unrelated to crystal structure, such as the differences in crystal shape and size, and purity.
Sorry we don’t have a lot of answers yet, but with agents like iressa and tarceva just out for a few years, having patients who previously did well and then became resistant is a problem that is only just emerging now. I promise to keep you and others here posted on the latest developments.
Bullous, blistering and exfoliative skin conditions, including cases suggestive of Stevens-Johnson syndrome /Toxic epidermal necrolysis. which in some cases were fatal, can occur with Erlotinib treatment. The pooled incidence of bullous and exfoliative skin disorders in the 3 monotherapy lung cancer studies was 1.2% in the Erlotinib arms and 0% in the control arms. The incidence of bullous and exfoliative skin disorders in the pancreatic cancer study was 0.4% in the Erlotinib plus gemcitabine arm and 0% in the control arm. Discontinue Erlotinib treatment if the patient develops severe bullous, blistering or exfoliating conditions.
An advantage of this combined analysis is that both of the studies were conducted during the same time period, solely in Japanese patients, such that all patients were treated under almost identical medical conditions. As combined analyses are useful in terms of increased precision, due to a larger sample size, the results of this study provide further support for erlotinib monotherapy as an effective treatment option for first-line EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as gefitinib and erlotinib, are effective for non-small cell lung cancer with activating EGFR mutations. However, even in patients with an initial dramatic response to such a drug, acquired resistance develops after 6–12 months. A secondary mutation of T790M in EGFR and amplification of the MET gene account for this resistance; however, the mechanism(s) of approximately 30% of acquired resistance cases remain unknown. We established an erlotinib-resistant lung cancer cell line named PC-9/ER3 that harbors an EGFR mutation after continuously exposing PC-9 cells to erlotinib. PC-9/ER3 cells were 136-fold more resistant to erlotinib than the parental cells. Although the PC-9/ER3 cells did not carry the T790M mutation or MET amplification and had similar levels of phosphorylated (p) STAT3, pJAK2 increased in the resistant cells. It was found in the present study that 3–12 h of exposure to erlotinib in both cell lines did not affect pJAK2 expression, but did result in increased pSTAT3 expression. pAkt in PC-9/ER3 cells was less suppressed than in PC-9 cells, although pEGFR and pMAPK were markedly suppressed in both cell lines. The combined treatment of erlotinib plus a JAK2 inhibitor (JSI-124) suppressed pAkt in PC-9/ER3 cells. Similarly, the combination of erlotinib plus JSI-124 or siRNA against JAK2 restored sensitivity to erlotinib in PC-9/ER3 cells. The combination of erlotinib plus JSI-124 was also effective for reducing PC-9/ER3 tumors in a murine xenograft model. Our results suggest that the activation of JAK2 partially accounts for acquired erlotinib resistance.( Cancer Sci . doi: 10.1111/j.1349-7006.2012.02363.x, 2012)

Right now my mother has been taking 150 mg. Tarceva for over 2 weeks in a way that is somewhat tolerable for her. She takes it for 3 days and then stops for 2 days. then takes it for 2 days and stops for a day. etc. Due to the terrible side effects, she can't take Tarceva every day so she is taking it in the only manner she can.
Both [ 11 C]erlotinib and [ 18 F]afatinib demonstrate best uptake in the HCC827 xenografts. [ 18 F]afatinib demonstrates a slightly higher tumor-to-background ratio than [ 11 C]erlotinib (Table 1. entries 3 and 6). This data demonstrates the ability of TKI-PET to image TKI uptake in these tumors in an effective manner. It was previously demonstrated that uptake of [ 11 C]erlotinib in HCC827 xenografts could be blocked by the addition of unlabeled erlotinib [ 29 ]. To ascertain whether imaging should be performed at high specific activity in the case of [ 18 F]afatinib (4 to 6 MBq, 0.017 to 0.026 nmol of afatinib), PET imaging with co-administration of unlabeled afatinib (100 to 6,000 ng) in a bolus IV injection with the tracer was performed in the HCC827 xenograft line. This demonstrated that the uptake of the tracer was blocked to the background level with a 100-ng addition of afatinib (Table 2 ).
Individual posthoc parameters were used to simulate the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h in plasma and brain ECF for erlotinib and OSI-420 for each mouse from which the area under the concentration-time curves for plasma and brain (AUC 0-24,Plasma and AUC 0-24,Brain ) were calculated with the log-linear trapezoidal method. Unbound plasma AUC (AUC 0-24,uPlasma ) for erlotinib and OSI-420 were obtained by multiplying AUC 0-24,Plasma by the appropriate unbound fraction ( f u ). The extent of brain penetration ( P Brain ) for erlotinib and OSI-420 was calculated as the brain ECF-to-unbound plasma AUC ratio:
The findings ultimately suggest that gefitinib is not noninferior to erlotinib in terms of progression-free survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
Stage IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is seen in a relatively heterogeneous group of patients with ipsilateral mediastinal (N2) lymph node involvement. The relative roles of different treatment modalities are not clear. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) may result in dramatic responses in patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma carrying EGFR activating mutations. In case reports, the efficacy of perioperative EGFR-TKI therapy in patients with locally advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR gene mutations was satisfactory. Although no prospective data support the use of EGFR-TKIs as induction therapy in stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC, their low toxicity profile and the possibility of a rapid tumor response suggests that prospective trials are required. Therefore, this study evaluated the value of induction erlotinib therapy in IIIA-N2 NSCLC selected by EGFR gene analysis and explored a new treatment strategy for this subset. Erlotinib specifically targets the EGFR TK domain, which is highly expressed and occasionally mutated in various forms of cancer. It binds in a reversible fashion to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site of the receptor.

Phase I and II clinical trials with reversible firstgeneration EGFR-TKI (erlotinib, geftinib) revealed dramatic responses in some patients with lung adenocarcinoma who were never smokers, women, or of Asian origin. 3,4 Later, it was recognized that these patients had activating mutations in EGFR gene, which was predictive for higher response rates (RR) and survival with EGFR inhibitors. 5-7 The frequency of EGFR mutations depends on the histology and ethnicity; it can be as high as 30% to 40% in an East Asian population with adenocarcinoma, and as low as 15% to 20% in Caucasians. 8 More than 145 different types of nucleotide changes have been reported within the EGFR kinase domain, but most clinically relevant EGFR mutations occur within the first 4 exons encoding the ATP-binding pocket of the kinase domain (exons 18-21). 9 Deletions in exon 19 that eliminate a common amino acid motif (LREA) and point mutation in exon 21 that involves the substitution of an arginine for a leucine at codon 858 (also known as L858R), account for approximately 85% of EGFR mutations in lung cancer. These mutants preferentially bind to EGFR-TKI as demonstrated by their higher Km for ATP and a lower Ki for erlotinib and gefitinib. 10-12 In the last few years, multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that first-line treatment with EGFR-TKIs in lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutations is superior to traditional platinum-based chemotherapy in terms of objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and tolerability. 13-15 At present, EGFR-TKI has become the standard of care first-line treatment for this subset of NSCLC.
