Tarceva
 Generic name: Erlotinib
 Brand name: Tarceva®
 FDA Approval Date: November 18,
2004
Tarceva
 Indicated for :the treatment of locally
advanced or metastatic non-small cell
lung cancer that has failed prior
chemotherapy
 Human Epidermal Growth Factor
Receptor Type 1/Epidermal Growth
Factor Receptor (HER1/EGFR) tyrosine
kinase inhibitor
Introduction
Lung Cancer
 Two general types of lung cancer exist:
• Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
• Small cell lung cancer
 The most common type of lung
cancer is NSCLC. Approximately
147,000 new cases of NSCLC
were reported in the United
States in 2004.
Introduction
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
 Comprises 85% of lung cancer
 High mortality
 Most patients present with
advanced disease:
• ~20% stage IIIA/IIIB
(poor prognosis)
• >50% stage IV disease
(limited to treatment option)
Introduction
Tumors with HER1/EGFR Dysregulation
• Many solid tumors have
dysregulated HER1/EGFR
• This association of
HER1/EGFR and tumor
development has been
shown in hormone-
sensitive tumors
(breast and prostate),and also in tumors that
are not hormone-dependent (e.g. head and
neck,
NSCLC, colon, ovarian, and glioma).

Introduction
HER1/EGFR
HER1/EGFR is made up of 3 parts
•intracellular tyrosine kinase domain
•short transmembrane domain

Mechanism of inhibition
Pharmacokinetics
 A: bioavailability ≈ 60%; food ↑
bioavailability to almost 100%
 D: ≈ 93% protein bound to albumin
and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein
 M: primarily by CYP3A4 and to a
lesser extent by CYP1A2
 E: mainly fecal (> 80%); t½= 36h
Drug Interactions
 CYP3A4 inhibitors expected to
increase exposure to erlotinib:
ketoconazole increased AUC by
67%
 CYP3A4 inducers expected to
decrease exposure to erlotinib:
rifampicin increased clearance by
3-fold and reduced AUC by 67%
Adverse Effects
 Common adverse effects
• Rash (75) [17]
• Diarrhea (54) [18]
• Anorexia (52) [38]
• Dyspnea (41) [35]
• Infection (24) [15]
• Stomatitis (17) [3]
• Pruritus (13) [5]
*(treatment) [placebo]
Monitoring
 Monitor for acute onset of new or
progressive pulmonary symptoms
such as dyspnea, cough, or fever
 If interstitial lung disease is
diagnosed, discontinue erlotinib
 Consider dose adjustment with
severe LFT changes (AST,ALT, Bili,
Alk Phos)
Prescription Information
 Standard dose is 150 mg po daily taken
at least one hour before or two hours
after the ingestion of food
 Cost: #30 150 mg tablets $2125.02
Summary
 Tarceva™, erlotinib, is a Human Epidermal
Growth Receptor Type 1/ Epidermal growth
Factor Receptor (HER1/EGFR) tyrosine
kinase inhibitor.
 Tarceva™ is indicated for the treatment of
patients with locally advanced or metastatic
non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after
failure of at least one prior chemotherapy
regimen.
Summary
 Dermatologic and GI side effects are common.
 The incidence of Interstitial Lung Disease was
the same as the placebo group (0.8%) in one
trial.
