Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to methods for the treatment of gefitinib and/or erlotinib resistant cancer. An individual with cancer is monitored for cancer progression following treatment with gefitinib and/or erlotinib. Progression of the cancer is indicative that the cancer is resistant to gefitinib and/or erlotinib. Once progression of cancer is noted, the subject is administered a pharmaceutical composition comprising an irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor. In preferred embodiments, the irreversible EGFR inhibitor is EKB 569, HKI-272 and HKI-357.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating gefitinib and/or erlotinib resistant non-small cell lung cancer having a T790M mutation in SEQ ID NO: 1 in a patient, comprising administering daily to the patient having gefitinib and/or erlotinib resistant non-small cell lung cancer having a T790M mutation in SEQ ID NO: 1 a pharmaceutical composition comprising a unit dosage of 2-500 mg of an irreversible EGFR inhibitor that covalently binds to cysteine 773 of the catalytic domain within the SEQ ID NO: 1 having a T790M mutation; wherein the irreversible EGFR inhibitor is not CL-387,785. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the irreversible EGFR inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of EKB-569, HKI-272 and HKI-357. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the irreversible EGFR inhibitor is HKI-272. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the irreversible EGFR inhibitor covalently binds to cysteine 805 in the ligand-binding pocket of ERBB2.
