Single-Agent Zactima/ZD6474 in Advanced NSCLC
As introduced in the last post, ZD6474, or Zactima, is a pill that blocks tumor blood supply and at higher doses (in the 300 mg per day range) also blocks EGFR. This mutli-targeted therapy has shown some intriguing activity when combined with chemo, and today I'll focus on the research that gave it as a single agent and where it has led us in terms of current trials.
