| Therapy Name | Gefitinib |
| Synonyms | |
| Therapy Description |
Iressa (gefitinib) is a first-generation EGFR inhibitor that binds EGFR and inhibits downstream signaling, potentially resulting in decreased growth of tumors with EGFR activation (PMID: 26980062, PMID: 25302162, PMID: 15284455). Iressa (gefitinib) is FDA approved for use in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring an EGFR exon 19 deletion or EGFR L858R (FDA.gov). |
Filtering
- Case insensitive filtering will display rows where any text in any cell matches the filter term
- Simple literal full or partial string matches
- Separate multiple filter terms with a spaces, order doesn't matter (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 a longer phrase which contains spaces "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.
