No results posted yet for this study

Summary

As a 2nd generation EGFR-TKI that irreversibly binds to EGFR receptors, afatinib is currently recommended as the standard first-line treatment for EGFR mutation-positive lung cancer, and clinical studies are also being actively conducted in other types of carcinomas characterized by EGFR gene mutation and overexpression.

The overall results from previous studies of gefitinib and erlotinib as EGFR TKIs , as well as from preceding studies of afatinib - a 2nd generation EGFR TKI - suggest the possibility of an effective therapy in esophageal cancer or squmaous lung cancer. In this phase II trial, afatinib shall be administered to patients with squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus or lung squamous cell carcinoma to evaluate its effects and toxicity. Also, biomarkers to predict responses to afatinib shall be explored through further studies.
