Overview

Generic Name(s):
dacomitinib
Trade Name(s):
Vizimpro
NCI Definition [1]:
A highly selective, orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of the HER family of tyrosine kinases with potential antineoplastic activity. Dacomitinib specifically and irreversibly binds to and inhibits human Her-1, Her-2, and Her-4, resulting in the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of tumor cells that overexpress these receptors.

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Dacomitinib has been investigated in 9 clinical trials, of which 7 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials investigating dacomitinib, 1 is early phase 1 (1 open), 3 are phase 1 (2 open), 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), and 4 are phase 2 (3 open).

ERBB2 Amplification, HER2 Overexpression, and HER2 Positive are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for dacomitinib clinical trials.

Non-small cell lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and gastric carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in dacomitinib clinical trials [2].
