  "id": "MLC-T-ONC-014014",
  "term": "gozanertinib",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "An orally bioavailable dual kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; EGFR2; ErbB2), including EGFR L858R, EGFR T790M and HER2 exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) mutations, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, gozanertinib targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of EGFR or HER2 insertions or mutations. This prevents EGFR/HER2-mediated signaling, which may induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR/HER2-overexpressing tumor cells. The ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family is involved in key cellular functions, including cell growth and survival. EGFR and HER2 alterations constitutively upregulate kinase activity.",
