What is Tarceva?

Tarceva is a brand-name prescription drug used to treat metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (which comprises 85% of lung cancers) and as first-line therapy for advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer. Metastatic cancers are ones that have spread to other parts of the body.

The active ingredient in Tarceva, erlotinib, belongs to a class of anti-cancer drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Erlotinib works by blocking proteins that signal cells to divide and produce new cells. These proteins act as switches, and in cancer cells, they are essentially stuck in the “on” position. Blocking this protein slows or stops the growth of tumors.

Tarceva is taken as a tablet twice a day until adequate progression is made against cancer or until side effects become too severe.

What are the side effects of Tarceva?

Common side effects of Tarceva include, but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, mouth sores, pimples, dry eyes, dry skin, loss of appetite, feeling tired, and hand-foot skin reaction (a dose-dependent condition involving stinging, tingling, pain, dry skin, cracked skin, thickened skin, swelling, and blistering on the palms of the hand and soles of the feet).

Severe side effects include heart problems, heart attack, stroke, kidney problems, lung disease, perforation of the stomach or intestines, eye problems, bleeding problems, and liver problems.

Allergic reactions are rare but can be very severe. These include Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a potentially fatal skin reaction that often requires hospitalization. Watch for important signs of an allergic reaction, such as fever, sore throat, swelling, itching, or rash, and talk to your doctor immediately.
