Dacomitinib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2018 and Europe in 2019.[2][3] In the United States it costs about 14,300 USD per month as of 2021.[4] This amount in the United Kingdom costs theNHS about £2,700.[5]
Medical uses
Dosage
The typical dose is 45 mg per day.[3]
Mechanism of action

The mode of action of dacomitinib works by binding to kinase domains ofEGFR family(EGFR/HER1,HER2,HER4). As a consequence this inhibits tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation, which causes a reduction in tumor growth[6]
Research
Dacomitinib has advanced to severalPhase III clinical trials.The January 2014 results of the first trials were disappointing, with a failure to meet the study goals.[7][8][9]
Additional Phase III trials are ongoing.[7]
