Erlotinib/gemcitabine Reactions 1704, p153 - 2 Jun 2018 Various toxicities: 4 case reports In a retrospective study of 24 patients, four patients [ages and sexes not stated] were described who developed haematological toxicity, ulcer, gastric haemorrhage or duodenal stenosis following treatment with gemcitabine and erlotinib [routes, durations of treatments to reactions onsets and outcomes not stated] for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer started receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m on days 1, 8 and 15 and erlotinib 100 mg daily on a 4 week cycle, along with radiotherapy. The patients experienced grade 3 haematological toxicity, grade 2 ulcer, grade 3 gastric haemorrhage and grade 3 duodenal stenosis (one patient each). Author comment: "Grade 3 hematologic toxicity was observed in . . . 1 patient during CRT." "[G]rade 2 ulcer developed in 1 patient". "Grade 3 gastric hemorrhage was observed in 1 patient who received 50.4 Gy and grade 3 duodenal stenosis in 1 patient who received 55.8 Gy." Kim E, et al.
