Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations confer sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ASP8273 is a highly specific, irreversible, once-daily, oral, EGFR TKI that inhibits both activating and resistance mutations. This dose-escalation/dose-expansion study (NCT02192697) was undertaken in two phases. In phase I, Japanese patients (aged ≥20 years) with NSCLC previously treated ≥1 received escalating doses (25-600 mg)...

Azathioprine (AZA) is increasingly being prescribed to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Following oral administration, AZA converted into its active form. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with low thiopurine (S)-methyltransferase (TPMT) activity tend respond well therapy. In a previous study of Japanese SLE under low-dose therapy, the group 94C>A mutation in inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) showed greater improvement their index. However, it...
