Erlonat 100mg (Erlotinib)

Erlonat is formulated for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to surrounding tissues or other parts of the body. It is also useful in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer. The medicine has the active component Erlotinib, which is a member of a class of targeted anticancer drugs. It is an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of NSCLC after the failure of at least one prior chemotherapy regimen and is the first such drug to demonstrate an increase in survival in patients with advanced NSCLC.

What is Erlonat used for?

Erlonat is useful in:

• First line therapy of metastatic NSCLC
• Maintenance treatment of locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC when the disease has not progressed after four cycles of platinum based first line chemotherapy
• Locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC that has not responded to ≥ one previous chemotherapy regimen.
• First line therapy for locally advanced, surgically unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

How does Erlonat work?

Erlonat works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosine kinase, which is associated with human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It blocks the growth stimulation signals in cancer cells and decreases spread of lung or pancreatic cancer with increased survival.
