爱必妥用于化疗失败后的 复发和/转移性头颈部鳞癌 (R&M SCCHN) - Patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN failing on chemotherapy have very limited therapeutic options. There is currently no standard therapeutic approach for these patients who have a very poor prognosis. - In a retrospective study of 151 such patients treated with various approaches, including further CT and CRT, the response rate was under 3% and the median survival was 3 months.[1] - There is an unmet need for better alternative treatments. 1.

EGFR 表达与预后不良相关 头颈部癌的 EGFR 表达率为 90-100% EGFR 与以下情况相关: 无病生存降低 总生存降低 转移/侵袭风险增加 - The EGFR is expressed at high levels in SCCHN compared with normal mucosa,[1] and such levels are an early marker of SCCHN carcinogenesis.[2] In addition, EGFR is expressed in 90-100% of SCCHN.[3-5] - Tumor EGFR expression is usually associated with poor clinical prognosis in SCCHN in terms of decreased disease-free,[4,6-8] and overall survival.[6-9] High levels of EGFR expression in SCCHN are also associated with increased locoregional relapse following treatment.[6] - EGFR expression is associated with resistance of tumor cells to radiation[10,11] and chemotherapy.[12] Furthermore, pre-clinical models have indicated a correlation between the level of EGFR expression and the resistance of tumors to radiation.[13,14] 1.

爱必妥用于 R&M SCCHN 的二线治疗 - Recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN is usually treated with chemotherapy if surgery is not possible.[1] - Many compounds exhibit single-agent activity (eg cisplatin, carboplatin, methotrexate, 5-FU, bleomycin and taxanes), although combination regimens are commonly used.[2] - Cisplatin has been regarded as the most important therapeutic agent and is the basis of many combination regimens for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN.[2] - The synergy demonstrated by ERBITUX in combination with cisplatin in pre-clinical studies may prove of value when treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN in the first-line setting. 1.
