• Brand name: Afinitor
• Active Ingredients(Generic Name) : Everolimus
• Company Name: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
• Package: 7 tabs in a strip

Treatment of adult patients with certain types of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of gastrointestinal (GI) or ling origin with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease.

Mechanism of action:

In a similar fashion to other mTOR inhibitors its effect is solely on the mTORC1 protein complex and not on the mTORC2 complex. This can lead to a hyper-activation of the kinaseAKT via inhibition on the mTORC1 negative feedback loop while not inhibiting the mTORC2 positive feedback to AKT. This AKT elevation can lead to longer survival in some cell types. Hence, everolimus has an important effect on cell growth, cell proliferation and cell survival. mTORC1 action is modulated by several mitogens, growth factors and nutrients.

Dosage and Administration:

• Afinitor is given as a tablet by mouth. Take at the same time each day, may be taken with or without food. Swallow whole with a glass of water, do not chew or crush tablets. Avoid contact with or exposure to crushed or broken tablets. There are 2 tablet strengths
