Dacomitinib has advanced to several Phase III clinical trials. The January 2014 results of the first trials were disappointing, with a failure to meet the study goals.[2][3][4] Additional Phase III trials are ongoing.[2]
In 2017, results of a trial comparing dacomitinib to gefitinib for NSCLC (driven by mutated EGFR) were announced.[5]
Dacomitinib was approved in the United States in 2018[6], in Japan in 2019 and in the European Union (EU) authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2019 [7] for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR gene mutation.
