Hi Sandy, There Is No Name For This Drug Yet, But It Is Similar To Tykerb (another Egfr And Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor). Tykerb Has Less Side Effects, Or Atleast Milder Than This Drug. I Am Hoping Fda Approval Comes In The Next Few Weeks. My Friend Went On Another Egfr Drug Very Similar To Tykerb Called Hki=272 Another Phase Ii Study And She Is Having Horrible Side Effects Also. Don't Know If She Will Be Able To Stay On It. I Am Now Wondering If My Onc Will Suggest Xeloda. Let Me Know What You Find Out About The Cream And I Will Keep You Posted. Much Love, Vickie
