Rationale for Targeting HER1/EGFRin Pancreatic Cancer

HER1/EGFR overexpression is common

Elevated HER1/EGFR and EGF are associated with more aggressive disease and poor patient prognosis

In preclinical models, HER1/EGFR inhibitors enhance gemcitabine-induced tumor apoptosis

Objectives of Presentation

To review data supporting the need for new treatment options for patients with pancreatic cancer

To present evidence that Tarceva, when added to the current standard of care, gemcitabine, provides the first statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in survival compared with gemcitabine alone

To demonstrate that the combination of Tarceva and gemcitabine offers an effective and tolerable new therapy for the management of pancreatic cancer
