Drug Overview
Tykerb (lapatinib; Novartis) is an orally available EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor. EGFR (ErbB1) and HER2 (ErbB2) form part of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases, where ligand binding ultimately results in a cascade of downstream events that regulate pathways involved in tumor growth and progression. These pathways are often amplified during tumor growth due to the overexpression of receptors and/or ligands, or because of mutation.
