Abstract excerpt
Gefitinib is a selective inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase and is used for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating EGFR mutations. Gefitinib is metabolized by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. This analysis compared the systemic exposure of gefitinib after oral administration in CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers (UM) vs extensive metabolizers (EM). Physiologically...
