# EGFR Target Profile
## Executive Summary
EGFR is a high-tractability receptor tyrosine kinase with strong validation
in NSCLC. 9 drugs approved, 34 in development. Key opportunity: resistance
mechanisms and combination therapies.

### Pipeline (Selected)
| Drug | Company | Phase | Differentiation |
|------|---------|-------|----------------|
| Lazertinib | Yuhan | III | 3rd-gen, wild-type sparing |
| Nazartinib | Novartis | III | 3rd-gen, CNS active |
## 6. Safety Considerations
- **On-target toxicity**: Skin rash, diarrhea (class effect)
- **Off-target concerns**: Cardiac toxicity (rare)
- **Safety Tier**: 2 (Manageable risk)
## 7. Key Opportunities

Running Scripts
The scripts/ directory contains data fetching utilities:
# Fetch basic target data
python scripts/fetch_target_data.py EGFR --output data.json
# Include all sources
python scripts/fetch_target_data.py EGFR --uniprot --chembl --pathways -o full.json
# Specific data only
python scripts/fetch_target_data.py KRAS --diseases-only
Requirements
None for basic use (uses public APIs).
For advanced features and scripts:
pip install requests pandas
Additional Resources
Best Practices
- Use official gene symbols (HGNC nomenclature) for best results
- Include mutation if relevant (e.g., "KRAS G12C")
- Specify focus when you need deeper analysis on one area
- Compare targets to support decision-making
Common Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Solution |
|---|---|
| Ambiguous gene names | Use official HGNC symbols |
| Multiple isoforms | Specify isoform number if needed |
| Species confusion | Assume human unless specified |
| Outdated info | Data is current as of last API fetch |
