Erlotinib | Tarceva | CP358774 | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 EGFR Inhibitor 1st gen 3 | Tarceva (erlotinib) is a first-generation EGFR inhibitor that blocks EGFR signaling, potentially leading to inhibition of tumor growth (PMID: 30069756). Tarceva (erlotinib) is FDA approved for use in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 19 deletions and/or EGFR L858R, and in combination with gemcitabine for patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
Gemcitabine | Gemzar | Difluorodeoxycytidine Hydrochlorothiazide|LY-188011 | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Gemzar (gemcitabine) is converted in cells to difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP), which act to inhibit ribonucleoside reductase and as a deoxynucleotide analog respectively, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |

CBL dec exp | pancreatic ductal carcinoma | predicted - sensitive | Erlotinib + Gemcitabine | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Emerging | In a preclinical study, addition of Tarceva (erlotinib) overcame Gemzar (gemcitabine)-resistance in pancreatic ductal carcinoma cell lines with reduced Cbl expression via shRNA, resulted in decreased viability in cell culture and reduced tumor growth in cell line xenograft models (PMID: 25348515). | 25348515 |
