Prevention and Treatment of Acneiform Rash in Patients Treated with EGFR Inhibitor Therapies Effective Date: November, 2020
Guideline Resource Unit [email protected] Prevention and Treatment of Acneiform Rash in Patients Treated with EGFR Inhibitor Therapies Effective Date: November, 2020 Clinical Practice Guideline SUPP-003 – Version 2 www.ahs.ca/guru Background The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a central role in tumour growth and proliferation, and over-expression of EGFR is correlated with a poor prognosis, disease progression, and reduced sensitivity to chemotherapy.1 EGFR-targeted agents are used in several types of cancer, including lung, colorectal, breast, pancreatic, and head and neck. Classes of EGFR inhibitors include monoclonal antibodies (e.g. cetuximab, panitumumab, pertuzumab) and small molecular weight tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g. erlotinib, gefitinib, lapatinib, afatinib, osimertinib). These agents have been evaluated in phase II and III trials and are increasingly being incorporated into therapeutic plans for patients, both as front-line therapy, and after progression on standard chemotherapy. EGFR inhibitors are generally well tolerated and are not associated with the moderate or severe systemic side effects of standard cancer therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation. However, because of the role of EGFR in skin biology they are associated with a variety of dermatologic reactions.2 The most commonly reported side effect is acneiform (papulopustular) rash; Table 1 lists the incidence rate for each EFGR inhibitor. Acneiform rash is typically localized to the face, scalp, upper chest and back. Although it is usually mild or moderate in severity, it can cause significant physical and psychosocial distress in patients, which may lead to decreased quality of life, and disruption or discontinuation of therapy.3, 4 Thus, timely and appropriate interventions are essential.5 Table 1.
