WHAT GIOTRIF IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
GIOTRIF is a medicine which contains the active substance afatinib. It
works by blocking the activity
of a group of proteins called the ErbB family (including EGFR
[epidermal growth factor receptor or
ErbB1], HER2 [ErbB2], ErbB3 and ErbB4). These proteins are involved in
the growth and spread of
cancer cells, and can be affected by changes (mutations) in the genes
that produce them. By blocking
the activity of these proteins this medicine can inhibit growth and
spread of cancer cells.
This medicine is used on its own to treat adult patients with a
specific type of cancer of the lung
(non-small cell lung cancer):
that is identified by a change (mutation) in the gene for EGFR.
GIOTRIF can be prescribed to
you as your first treatment or if prior chemotherapy treatment has
been insufficient.
of squamous type if prior chemotherapy treatment has been
insufficient.
