RESUMO
The development of pharmaceutical drug products is required for the treatment of disease, which has resulted in an increasing number of approvals by regulatory agencies across the globe. To establish a hassle-free manufacturing process, the systematic use of a quality-by-design (QbD) approach combined with process analytical technology (PAT) and printing techniques can revolutionize healthcare applications. Printing technology has been emerged in various dimensions, such as 3D, 4D, and 5D printing, with respect to their production capabilities, durability, and accuracy of pharmaceutical manufacturing, which can efficiently deliver novel patient-centric healthcare products with holistic characteristics. In this review, we provide current trends in pharmaceutical product development using a design approach and high-quality printing techniques.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a cell surface receptor belonging to erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homologue (ErbB) family of tyrosine kinase. It plays critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. The EGFR receptor is crucial in a variety of tumor development due to unlikely triggered by receptor overexpression, chromosomal mutation and or ligand-dependent receptor dimerization. The EGFR inhibition established a major therapeutic target in cancer therapy. The signal transduction pathway of EGFR is directly involved in tumor pathogenesis and progression. The combinatorial approach with EGFR inhibitors bring novel therapeutic regime with proved clinical efficacy. This critique briefly addressed EGFR receptor characteristics, worldwide report on various cancers and EGFR based potential targeting modalities in skin, breast, ovary, brain, lungs, pancreas, gastric and colorectal tumors and molecular pathways involved in EGFR targeting.
