Title Vandetanib (ZD6474): an orally available receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets pathways critical for tumor growth and angiogenesis.
URL
Abstract Text Vandetanib (ZD6474; ZACTIMA, AstraZeneca) is a once-daily, orally available agent with potential for use in a number of solid tumor types. Vandetanib targets key signaling pathways in cancer by inhibiting VEGFR-dependent tumor angiogenesis, and EGFR- and RET-dependent tumor cell proliferation and survival. Phase I studies showed vandetanib to be generally well tolerated at doses of < or = 300 mg/day, with a pharmacokinetic profile that supports once-daily oral administration. Phase II evaluation of vandetanib in patients with advanced refractory NSCLC has demonstrated improvements in progression-free survival both as monotherapy (versus gefitinib) and in combination with docetaxel (versus docetaxel alone). These positive outcomes have led to the initiation of Phase III trials of vandetanib in advanced NSCLC. Clinical development is also ongoing in other tumor types and encouraging evidence of antitumor activity has been reported in patients with metastatic hereditary medullary thyroid cancer.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
