Abstract

Background:

The development of a rash has been retrospectively associated with increased response and improved survival when treated with erlotinib at the standard dose of 150 mg per day. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the association of the activity of erlotinib in the first-line setting in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the development of a tolerable rash via dose escalation of erlotinib or tumour characteristics.

Methods:

Patients, with advanced NSCLC without prior systemic therapy, were treated with erlotinib 150 mg orally per day. The dose was increased by 25 mg every two weeks until the development of grade 2/tolerable rash or other dose limiting toxicity. Tumour biopsy specimens were required for inclusion.
