Afatinib

Description: Afatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks irreversibly EGFR and HER2. Two Phase III studies are enrolling patients. First is evaluating efficacy and safety of Afatinib as adjuvant treatment. Patients with primary unresected loco-regionally advanced (stages III, IVA, IVB) Head and Neck Cancer will be randomized to receive Afatinib or placebo after chemo-radiotherapy. Second Phase III study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral Afatinib versus intravenous Methotrexate in patients with recurrent and/ or metastatic Head and neck Cancer who have progressed after platinum-based therapy.
