What is the drug LANGOTER®
LANGOTER®
is an anti-tumor agent. As a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, LANGOTER®
inhibits tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis, and accelerates apoptosis
of tumor cells.
It
inhibits the growth of various human tumor cell lines and increases the
antitumor activity of chemotherapeutic drugs, radiation and hormone therapy.
Clinical
data suggest that gefitinib significantly increases the time to disease
progression in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung
cancer.
