TYKERB (lapatinib) is an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting HER2 and EGFR, approved in 2007 for HER2-positive breast cancer. It is administered as a tablet and represents a foundational dual-kinase inhibitor in the oncology space that has been used in combination with chemotherapy and hormonal agents.
