    Background:
    Skin rash is the most common adverse event induced by epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). The efficacy of tetracycline for EGFR-TKI-related skin rash has been reported. However, a skin rash is often observed despite the use of tetracycline. Some studies have reported that skin rash is caused by a type of inflammation. Hence, there is a possibility that loxoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, can prevent these skin rashes.
    
    Method:
    We conducted a single-center, retrospective study to investigate the efficacy of loxoprofen for EGFR-TKI-related skin rash. The patients had non-small cell lung cancer and received EGFR-TKIs at the Chemotherapy Research Institute, Kaken Hospital from October 2011 to March 2017. We divided them into two groups: those who received EGFR-TKIs along with loxoprofen (loxoprofen (+) group; n = 12) and without loxoprofen (loxoprofen (−) group; n = 37), and investigated the incidence of EGFR-TKI-related skin rash.
    
    Result:
    There was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics between the groups. Grade 1 and 2 EGFR-TKI-related skin rash were more common in the loxoprofen (−) group than in the loxoprofen (+) group (grade 1; 90% versus 60%, P = 0.007, grade 2; 50% versus 0% P = 0.043, log-rank analysis). Multiple regression analysis indicated that the use of loxoprofen was a predictive factor that reduced the incidence of grade 1 skin rash (P = 0.0046). Figure 1
    
    
    
    Conclusion:
    Our study showed that loxoprofen combined with EGFR-TKIs could prevent skin rash, decreasing the risk by more than 65%. Our results suggest that loxoprofen can prevent and treat EGFR-TKI-related skin rash. Thus, we conclude that loxoprofen could be a new treatment option for EGFR-TKI-related skin rash.
