Overview

Generic Name(s):
poziotinib
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable, quinazoline-based, mall-molecular and irreversible pan-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR or HER) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Poziotinib inhibits EGFR (HER1 or ErbB1), HER2, HER4 and EGFR mutants, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells that overexpress these receptors. EGFRs, cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases, are often upregulated in a variety of cancer cell types and play key roles in cellular proliferation and survival.

Poziotinib has been investigated in 10 clinical trials, of which 6 are open and 4 are closed. Of the trials investigating poziotinib, 1 is phase 1 (0 open), 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), and 8 are phase 2 (5 open).

EGFR Exon 20 Insertion, EGFR L858R, and EGFR L861Q are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for poziotinib clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in poziotinib clinical trials [2].
