‘Irreversible’ tyrosine kinase inhibitors
 Irreversible TKIs form covalent bonds with tyrosine
kinase
 Irreversible bond
 TK remains inhibited until new receptor/TK complex
can be synthesized
 Afatinib and neratinib are HER1[EGFR]/HER2
TKIs in development

Afatinib in trastuzumab refractory MBC
 Patients with pretreated MBC (n=41)
 Median prior lines of chemotherapy: 3
 >1 year trastuzumab therapy: 68%
 Response to trastuzumab:
► CR: 2
► PR: 13
► SD: 13
 Response to afatinib:

Summary
 The options available for metastatic/ advanced
HER2 positive breast cancer have changed with the
availability of pertuzumab and, likely in 2013
trastuzumab emtansine
 In addition to antibody based technology, another
promising approach are the ‘irreversible’ tyrosine
kinase inhibitors
 These form covalent, irreversible bonds and thus
demonstrate a prolonged inhibition of the HER2 TK
 Clinical trials are ongoing to confirm the initial
Phase IIa results
