A Phase I/II Study Combining Erlotinib and Dasatinib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

EGFR and Src are frequently activated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In preclinical models, combining EGFR and Src inhibition has additive synergistic effects. We conducted a phase I/II trial of the combination of Src inhibitor dasatinib with EGFR inhibitor erlotinib to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetic drug interactions, biomarkers, and efficacy in NSCLC.The phase I 3+3 dose-escalation study enrolled patients...
