Effects of Antacids on Clinical Efficacy of Gefitinib in Patients with <i>EGFR</i> Mutation-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: The absorption of gefitinib is dependent on gastric pH. However, an increase in gastric pH via the use of antacids such as proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and histamine H2 receptor antagonists may reduce the bioavailability and efficacy of gefitinib.In this study, we report the influence of the concurrent use of antacids with gefitinib on the efficacy in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
