It's a EGFR inhibitor similar in action to Iressa (aka ZD-1839) There's a pretty informative article on the ACS website date May 2004. They're saying that it has shown some pretty remarkable result in conjunction with Radiation in some pretty small studies (15 subjects), but this is the second EGFR inhibitor I've read about showing these kind of results, the other being Iressa.
