Dacomitinib, sold under the brand name Vizimpro, is a medication for the treatment of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). It is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of EGFR. [3]
Dacomitinib has advanced to several Phase III clinical trials. In January 2014, results of the first trials were disappointing, with a failure to meet the study goals, [4] [5] [6] but additional Phase III trials continued. [4] In 2017, results of a trial comparing dacomitinib to gefitinib for NSCLC (driven by mutated EGFR) were announced. [7]
Dacomitinib was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2018, [8] in Japan in 2019, and in the European Union in 2019; [9] for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation.
