Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) bearing oncogenic mutations in EGFR, ALK and ROS1 occur in a significant subset of lung adenocarcinomas. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting tumor cells dependent on these oncogenic RTKs yield tumor shrinkage, but also a variety of adverse events. Skin

Lenvatinib is a small oral molecule able to inhibit three of the extracellular and intracellular molecules involved in the modulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1-3, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-4, and platelet-derived growth factor

This phase I trial investigates the safety of combining radiation, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin with the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erlotinib, in patients with esophageal carcinoma. From April 2000 to January 2005, 11 patients with squamous or adenocarcinoma

Hormone peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) is secreted into circulation from the gut L-endocrine cells in response to food intake, thus inducing satiation during interaction with its preferred receptor, Y2R. Clinical applications of systemically administered PYY for the purpose of reducing body weight

Bosutinib (SKI-606) is a 4-anilino-3-quinoline carbonitrile, which acts as a dual inhibitor of Src and ABL kinases. In addition, the BCR-ABL fusion gene product, a constitutively activated tyrosine kinase which is crucial for the development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), is highly sensitive to

There is no effective treatment for melanoma, a fatal skin cancer occurring with increasing frequency. Dietary tyrosine restriction lowers systemic tyrosine and suppresses the growth of melanoma in mice, but this is not tolerated by human resulting in nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. We report

BACKGROUND One of the most studied pro-angiogenic factors involved in the development of colorectal cancer is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor semaxanib (SU5416) is one of the several agents targeting the VEGF signaling pathway, and its

OBJECTIVE We studied the safety and tolerability of telatinib, an orally available, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-2/VEGFR-3), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta, and c-Kit in combination with capecitabine and

ErbB/HER receptor or its signal transduction pathway is an attractive therapeutic target for breast cancer. Lapatinib, an orally administered dual inhibitor of ErbB1 (EGFR) and ErbB2 (HER2) receptor tyrosine kinases has shown promising results for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Lapatinib exhibited

OBJECTIVE SU6668 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which targets platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta, fibroblast growth factor receptor-1, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, and KIT. We did a phase I study to define the maximum tolerated dose and to assess the pharmacokinetics of

OBJECTIVE Telatinib (BAY 57-9352) is an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) -2, VEGFR-3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta, and c-Kit. This phase I dose escalation study was conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of

Imatinib (STI571, Gleevec/Glivec) and other small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors are highly effective in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors and, for example, eosinophilia-associated chronic myeloproliferative disorders. This molecularly targeted

BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a new group of drugs that show the activity against receptors of different growth factors leading to the inhibition of tumor cells growth and proliferation. To date, four different TKIs have been approved for RAI-refractory DTC or MTC: sorafenib,

BACKGROUND Cipatinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor against both EGFR and HER2/neu. This phase I trial was conducted to assess the safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and maximum-tolerated dose of cipatinib in HER2-positive patients with advanced breast cancer. METHODS Eligible adults
