Inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling has proven to be an effective strategy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and the first generation of agents developed for this purpose, gefitinib and erlotinib, stimulated a unique escalation in both biologic and clinical research within the field. Second-generation EGFR-targeted agents that aim to further improve patient outcomes are now in preclinical and clinical trials. This review discusses four promising agents that are currently being studied in NSCLC: EKB-569, HKI-272, CI-1033, and ZD6474.
抑制表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)信号传导已被证明是治疗非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的有效策略,为此目的开发的第一代药物吉非替尼和厄洛替尼,在该领域引发了生物学和临床研究的独特升级。旨在进一步改善患者预后的第二代EGFR靶向药物目前正处于临床前和临床试验阶段。本综述讨论了目前正在NSCLC中研究的四种有前景的药物:EKB-569、HKI-272、CI-1033和ZD6474。
