Panitumumab is a recombinant, fully humanized immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It is approved for the first- and second-line treatment of advanced wild-type KRAS colorectal cancer. Although common cutaneous side effects include acneiform dermatitis, folliculitis, and xerosis, ocular toxicities have occasionally been reported.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Skin toxicities associated with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)antibodies, have a profound effect on the continuation of treatment. We assessed the efficacy and safety of vitamin K1(VK1)ointment for acneiform eruptions induced by anti-EGFR antibody treatment.
Methods: The VK1 ointment was applied to one-half of an affected area and placebo ointment was applied to the other half twice a day for 8 weeks, with photography and clinical evaluation being performed every 2 weeks.

Background: Although the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody panitumumab is effective in treating colorectal cancer, the occurrence of severe skin disorders often discontinues therapy. Herein, we investigated by a retrospective chart review the effect of prophylactic oral minocycline in combination with skin treatment using moisturizer on the incidence of skin disorders and tumor response in metastatic colorectal cancer patients who received panitumumab.
Patients And Methods: In a total of 55 patients, 38 patients were eligible, consisting the pre-emptive group (N=25) and reactive group (N=13).
