NEW YORK (AP) ? Demonstrators from across the country are protesting a jury's decision to clear George Zimmerman in the 2012 shooting death of an unarmed black teenager while the Justice Department considers whether to file criminal civil rights charges.
Rallies on Sunday attracted anywhere from a few dozen people to more than a thousand as demonstrators voiced their support for 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's family ? and decried Zimmerman's not guilty verdict as a miscarriage of justice.
The NAACP and protesters are calling for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted Saturday in Martin's death.
The Justice Department says it is looking into the case to determine whether federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights charges now that Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Tiny ocean plants, or phytoplankton, were long thought to be passive drifters in the sea unable to defy even the weakest currents, or travel by their own volition. In recent decades, research has shown that many species of these unicellular microorganisms can swim, and do so to optimize light exposure, avoid predators or move closer to others of their kind.
Now scientists at MIT and Oxford University have shown that the motility of phytoplankton also helps them determine their fate in ocean turbulence. Rather than acting to distribute them evenly as physics would demand of small particles mixed into a fluid the individual vortices that make up ocean turbulence are like social mixers for phytoplankton, bringing similar cells into close proximity, potentially enhancing sexual reproduction and other ecologically desirable activities.
In a paper appearing online July 15 in Nature Communications, William Durham of Oxford, Roman Stocker of MIT and co-authors describe how at the scale of millimeters, phytoplankton caught in a watery vortex form highly concentrated patches at the center of the swirl. In the turbulent ocean where short-lived vortices form continually, this process repeats itself, carrying the microorganisms from social mixer to social mixer.
The findings are counterintuitive because turbulence is the most expedient means of mixing two substances (imagine stirring milk into coffee). If they were unable to swim, microorganisms exposed to a sea of vortices would form a homogenous distribution in the water. Instead, the study shows that the turbulence causes the phytoplankton to form concentrated patches.
'Turbulent un-mixing'
"Based on our intuition of turbulence and turbulent mixing, we expected homogeneity to reign," says Stocker, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering who led the study. "Instead, the phytoplankton surprised us by forming highly concentrated clusters of cells it's turbulent un-mixing. For the phytoplankton, this is a vehicle to effectively find cells of the same species without any sensory information on each other's location or the need to invest in costly means of chemical communication."
But patchiness can also have a downside: Phytoplankton, the photosynthetic microbes of the sea, form the base of the ocean food web. Clusters of cells can become easy prey to zooplankton predators that home in on clusters of phytoplankton. And close proximity to like cells can increase competition among the microorganisms for sparse nutrients.
"While patchiness increases the chance of a fatal encounter with a predator, it also increases the chance of finding other phytoplankton cells, which is needed to form resilient cysts that can survive harsh winter conditions," says Durham, the paper's first author and a lecturer at Oxford University who began working on this study as a doctoral student at MIT. "This mechanism suggests phytoplankton might tune their motility to have the best of both worlds, minimizing patchiness when there are a lot of predators around while maximizing patchiness when the time is ripe for cyst formation."
The research team which includes MIT graduate student Michael Barry, Eric Climent of the University of Toulouse, Filippo De Lillo and Guido Boffetta of the University of Torino and Massimo Cencini of the National Research Center of Italy first performed experiments using phytoplankton in the lab, then extended their observations to a turbulent ocean with high-resolution simulations performed on a supercomputer.
Possible evolutionary adaptation
For the experiments, a transparent box shaped like the letter H formed a simplified version of the ocean, with seawater flowing upward through the vertical bars, creating two inner-directed vortices within the horizontal bar. When the researchers added Heterosigma akashiwo (a motile, red-tide-forming species known for its ability to kill fish), the microorganisms formed dense patches at the centers of the swirls. To single out the role of motility, the researchers repeated the experiment with dead microorganisms, which the turbulence distributed uniformly.
The computer simulation mimicked ocean turbulence on a larger scale, with more than 3 million phytoplankton and many interacting vortices forming at the smallest possible scale of turbulence. It found that patchiness increased more than tenfold when the phytoplankton swam. And as their speed increased, so did the patchiness, leading to the conjecture that over evolutionary timescales, the microorganisms might possibly have developed the ability to actively adjust their swimming speed to modulate interactions with others of the same species and with predators.
"Life is turbulent in the vast expanses of the ocean and it's fascinating to learn how some of the most important organisms on our planet fare and behave in their daily turbulent lives," Stocker adds.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska |
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Critics of an oil-industry tax cut handed a petition with 50,000 signatures to Alaska state officials on Saturday, more than enough to force a referendum that would overturn a new oil tax law.
The bill, approved by the legislature three months ago, replaces taxes tracking oil prices with a cap on tax at 35 percent of net profits. Expectations for the new system were for a likely tax range from about 14 percent to about 20 percent.
"This bill that they passed is against the interests of Alaska," Vic Fischer, a former state senator and one of two surviving authors of the Alaska constitution, told a group of about 50 banner-waving tax-cut opponents gathered outside government offices in Anchorage.
Referendum supporters, organized in a group called "Vote Yes - Repeal the Giveaway", needed 30,169 signatures of registered voters - 10 percent of the total turnout in the last statewide election - to qualify their measure for the 2014 ballot.
Leading oil producers in Alaska include BP Plc, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp.
Governor Sean Parnell, sponsor of the new tax, argued that steep cuts in oil taxes were needed to lure industry investment away from North Dakota and other booming oil-producing areas. He dubbed the bill the "More Alaska Production Act".
Opponents say the tax cuts are too steep, will cost the state $4.5 billion in lost revenues over five years, and do nothing to reverse North Slope production declines that they say are inevitable as the area's main oil fields age.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? Republicans in the Texas Legislature passed an omnibus abortion bill that is one of the most restrictive in the nation, but Democrats vowed Saturday to fight both in the courts and the ballot box as they used the measure to rally their supporters.
More than 2,000 demonstrators filled the Capitol building in Austin to oppose the bill, and state troopers drug six out of the Senate chamber for trying to disrupt the debate. The Republican majority ultimately passed the bill unchanged just before midnight, with all but one Democrat voting against it.
"Today the Texas Legislature took its final step in our historic effort to protect life," said Gov. Rick Perry who will sign the bill into law in the next few days. "This legislation builds on the strong and unwavering commitment we have made to defend life and protect women's health."
Democrats, though, promised a fight in the courts.
"There will be a lawsuit. I promise you," Dallas Sen. Royce West said on the Senate floor, raising his right hand as if taking an oath.
Democrats offered 20 amendments to the bill, which will ban abortions after 20 weeks, require abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and require all abortions take place in surgical centers. They ranged from exceptions for rape and incest to allowing doctors more leeway in prescribing abortion-inducing drugs. But Republicans would have none of it.
The bill is just one of many across the nation championed by anti-abortion groups set on a constitutional challenge to Roe vs Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision guaranteeing a woman's right to decide on an abortion before the fetus is viable outside the womb.
Texas falls under the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has shown a willingness to accept more stringent limits on abortions. Passing the law also pleases Christian conservatives who make up the majority of Republican primary voters.
But the measure has also sparked protests in Texas not seen in least 20 years, with thousands of abortion rights supporters flooding the Capitol to draw out normally boring committee hearings and disrupting key votes. Protesters finished a filibuster started by Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth by jeering for the last 15 minutes of the first special session, effectively killing the bill.
That's when Perry called lawmakers back for round two. But opponents said the fight is far from over and used the popular anger to register and organize Democratic voters.
"Let's make sure that tonight is not an ending point, it's a beginning point for our future, our collective futures, as we work to take this state back." Davis told 2,000 adoring supporters after the bill passed.
The Texas Republican Party, meanwhile, celebrated what they considered a major victory that makes Texas "a nationwide leader in pro-life legislation."
"As Democrats continue to talk about their dreams of turning Texas blue, passage of HB2 is proof that Texans are conservative and organized and we look forward to working with our amazing Republican leadership in the Texas Legislature as they finish the special session strong," a party statement said.
Friday's debate took place between a packed gallery of demonstrators, with anti-abortion activists wearing blue and abortion-rights supporters wearing orange. Security was tight, and state troopers reported confiscating bottles of urine and feces as they worked to prevent another attempt to stop the Republican majority from passing the proposal.
Those arrested or removed from the chamber included four women who tried to chain themselves to a railing in the gallery while singing, "All we are saying is give choice a chance." One of the women was successful in chaining herself, prompting a 10-minute recess.
Sen. Glen Hegar of Katy, the bill's Republican author, argued that all abortions, including those induced with medications, should take place in an ambulatory surgical center in case of complications.
Democrats pointed out that childbirth is more dangerous than an abortion and there have been no serious problems with women taking abortion drugs at home.
Cecile Richards, the daughter of former Gov. Anne Richards and president of Planned Parenthood, said Texas Republicans and abortion opponents won this political round ? but it could cost them down the road.
"All they have done is built a committed group of people across this state who are outraged about the treatment of women and the lengths to which this Legislature will go to take women's health care away," she said.
The dedication of those activists will be tested during the 2014 elections. Democrats have not won a statewide seat in Texas since 1994, the longest such losing streak in the nation.

Does Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) really want to be more like Steve Jobs-era Apple Inc. (AAPL)? One columnist thinks so and pulls out several comparisons backing up his theory. Microsoft?s reorganization this week does sound eerily similar to Apple?s refresh under Jobs starting in 1997.
Since Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced its reorganization on Wednesday, there have been plenty of views shared about what the company is doing. Now of course the comparison has been drawn between Microsoft and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL).
Does Microsoft want to be like Apple? CNN Money Sr. Editor at Large Adam Lashinsky thinks so. He draws some comparisons between the changes being made by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and the ones made by Steve Jobs at Apple between 1997 and 2011.
Let?s start with the new vision: One Microsoft. According to Lashinsky, who has spent a great deal of time covering Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Steve Jobs really hated divisions within a company. He wanted just a single Apple with just one strategy, brand and message. This is essentially what Ballmer has done by shifting executives around and changing from organization by product to organization by function.
He said at Apple, there?s one person called the ?directly responsible individual? for each task or initiative. Ballmer said specifically that there would be a ?champion? for ?every major initiative.? He says this change is all about accountability.
Lashinsky points to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)?s?status when Steve Jobs returned in 1997. It was disorganized and divisive, and there were different agendas competing with each other. Jobs refocused the company into a single effort and ditched a number of failing products. He unified the advertising budgets in order to deliver a single message around Apple products. At Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Ballmer also talks about centralizing their advertising and media initiatives.
The editor also considers whether what worked for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)?will work for Microsoft. He said that with Jobs gone now, the world is different. Stanford professor Charles O?Reilly predicted that the process would only work for Jobs because of his management style. Jobs is described as ?dictatorial, feared, charismatic, respected? and ?multi-talented.?
So will the same tactic Ballmer has taken work at Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)? It?s worth mentioning that when planning the company?s reorganization, he did get some advice from Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) CEO Alan Mulally, who has a history of turning giants like Microsoft around.

Morgan County 4-H members, Greyson Kehm and Keleigh Hoffman, represented Morgan County and Colorado at Citizenship Washington Focus during the last week in June. Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is an intensive 4-H civic engagement program for high-school youth held at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Md.
The CWF program helps participants concentrate on what it means to be a good citizen and how to be a strong civic leader for your community, country and world. Washington, DC becomes a living classroom, where 4-H members learn about the history of the nation, the leaders who have shaped it and their role in civic affairs both nationally and locally. Youth learn essential civic leadership skills and

leave with the tools that will allow them to bring about real change in their communities.Educational workshops included exploring the Citizenship Toolbox, focusing on congressional issues, learning about bill writing and strategy and then putting all of these into action. For more than 50 years, National 4-H Youth Conference Center has invited 4-H members from across the country to travel to Washington, DC and participate in civic workshops, committees, and field trips before returning home to make positive changes in their own communities. CWF, not only strengthens young people's understanding of the government's civic process, but it also boosts their leadership skills, communication skills, and overall confidence.
During CWF, youth get a behind-the-scenes look at the nation's capital while meeting with members of Congress to learn more about how their government works. At the end of the program, youth draft step-by-step action plans to address important issues in their communities, implementing 4-H's national them of Joining the Revolution of Responsibility.
"CWF is a great opportunity for young people to come together, talk about the problems they see in their communities, and identify solutions to make their communities stronger," said Donald T. Floyd, Jr., National 4-H Council President and CEO. "The experiences these young people gain during CWF gives them the proper tools and confidence to become successful, articulate leaders in the future."
An 11-year member, Keleigh Hoffman belongs to Lads n Lassies 4-H Club. She has completed projects in baking, breads, cake decorating, child development, decorate your duds, entomology, foods, home environment, horse, catch-it swine, outdoor adventures, photography and leadership. Hoffman has served as a club and county officer and is currently District I 4-H President and a member of the Colorado 4-H State Senate Team. Hoffman has had projects selected to be exhibited at the Colorado State Fair as well as winning several record book awards. Last summer, Hoffman's home environment project was the best project in the senior division at State Fair and she represented Morgan County and Colorado at National 4-H Congress in Atlanta last fall because of that achievement. Hoffman's parents are Mark and Vickie Hoffman of Fort Morgan.
Greyson Kehm is an eight-year 4-H member and belongs to Morgan Sandburs 4-H Club. He has taken projects in model rocketry and a variety of shooting sports including .22, air rifle, air pistol and archery. Kehm has represented Morgan County at the Colorado State Fair in .22, air rifle, and archery. In 2011, Kehm represented Colorado 4-H at the National 4-H Shooting Sports Invitational in air rifle. Last summer, Kehm represented Colorado 4-H again at the National 4-H Shooting Sports Invitational in .22. Kehm's parents are Steve and Glenda Kehm of Fort Morgan.
The CWF trips were funded by the Colorado 4-H Foundation, Morgan County 4-H Council, Morgan County 4-H Leader's Advisory Committee and the Morgan County 4-H Foundation.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greeks are split down the middle on whether public sector job cuts demanded by the country's international lenders for continued bailout funding are necessary and most remain downbeat on the economy's prospects, an opinion poll showed on Saturday.
Greek municipal workers have taken to the streets against government plans to cut thousands of public-sector jobs, measures included in a multi-pronged bill to be voted on in parliament next week as a condition for more payments of aid.
Athens pledged to place 12,500 public sector workers including school guards, teachers and municipal police into a "mobility pool" by September, where they will have eight months to find work in other departments or lose their jobs.
According to the survey by pollster Metron Analysis for newspaper Ependytis, 47 percent of Greeks favor cuts to shrink the public sector but 50 percent think there should be no layoffs.
A 62 percent majority objects to the proposed closure of municipal police services.
Greece is suffering record unemployment after six years of recession. Its unemployment rate is nearly 27 percent, more than double the euro zone's average of 12.2 percent.
"The country's sacred cow is on the butcher's table but some claim (cuts) are being done without a plan under the weight of the country's pledges to its international creditors," Stratos Fanaras, head of Metron, told the paper.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras defended the cuts in Sunday's Proto Thema newspaper, saying they were needed to get the economy working again and keep funds flowing from Greece's euro zone and International Monetary Fund backers.
"What do you prefer, having school guards doing nothing substantive or nursing staff at public hospitals to care for you?" Samaras told the paper in an interview.
"The measures may be unpleasant for some people but my priority is the 1.5 million unemployed, for whom nobody shed tears," he said.
HURT
Less than a week after Greece resolved its latest funding crunch but left some economists warning another debt restructuring in the future was still on the cards, Samaras reiterated his opposition to any further cutbacks.
"I rule it out (austerity), we will continue to prove those who foresee new measures wrong," he told the paper.
The poll showed 40 percent of Greeks believe ongoing reforms are needed to improve the economy but 57 percent sees them chiefly as policies that hurt lower income classes.
Some 70 percent of those surveyed said the economic crisis was worsening and 66 percent expected 2014 to be a worse year but 70 percent were in favor of staying in the euro.
Politically, the ruling conservatives in the two-party coalition government would get 29.1 percent of the vote if elections were held now, versus 28.7 percent for the main leftist opposition anti-bailout Syriza party.
The survey showed no substantial change from a previous Metron poll in June. The coalition's junior partners, socialists PASOK, would take 7.8 percent and the Democratic Left party which quit the coalition last month, 3.2 percent.

A summer of deadly twisters has not discouraged British tourists from signing up for storm-chasing holidays in America's Tornado Alley.
Roger and Caryn Hill, who run Silver Lining Tours out of Denver, Colorado, say around 30% of their thrill-seeking clients are from the UK.
Roger, one of the most renowned and respected chasers in the business, says: "I've seen 660 tornadoes in my life and every one I've seen is like the first one I ever saw."
The husband and wife team run six-day weather stalking tours, often covering thousands of miles across several states in a convoy of vans, each marked with impressive hailstone dents.
This could be a rough ride. Roger sits up front, plugged into his advanced weather tracking system as we and 17 eager storm tourists head out onto the Montana plains.
As we motor through Big Sky Country, Roger says the charts look hopeful, not for the blue sky and sunshine you would normally wish for on holiday - but for powerful dramatic tempests.
There's a feeling of anticipation and confidence among the tourists: if a storm is brewing, Roger will find it.
In 25 years of weather hunting, Roger has seen and captured hundreds of tornadoes on camera. A twister has yet to surface on this latest mission, but Roger's appetite for any form of dramatic weather is insatiable and infectious.
Brit Gayle Dawes says: "When Roger comes on the radio and says we're at code red which means there are storms and they are looking really, really good.
"I think it's the moment when you get out of the van, just before a storm you can feel that tension in the air."
UK tourists spend around ?2,000 to join Silver Lining Tours for some high impact, adrenaline pumping storm chasing.
It sounds and looks fun, but these situations can quickly turn deadly - even for the most experienced chasers.
Roger's close friend and established meteorologist Tim Samaras was among the dozens killed by the series of lethal tornadoes that crashed through the Midwest this summer.
Roger says: "It hit real close to home. He always said 'If I get killed by one of these damned things, it had better be an EF5'. And, lo and behold, he was killed by an EF5 and it was the most violent kind of tornado there is."
The group gather under heavy, rumbling clouds to capture images of a looming "wall cloud" before Roger calls everyone back into the vehicles for a moment the thrill-seeking group have been craving: "core punching" - the industry term for racing through the heart of the storm.
The rain lashing the windscreen is punctuated by huge thumps from what Roger says is golfball-sized hail. The atmosphere fizzes as Roger warns his group to hold on - experiencing a storm from the relative safety of the van is a tour highlight.
Londoner Selvin Reid says his family and friends had reservations about his unusual holiday choice.
"The obvious reaction is 'be careful what you're doing, it's going to be dangerous'. Because quite obviously, they've been influenced by the headlines where people have been killed," he said.
Steve Famiglietti, who is partially sighted, has been on eight storm-chasing tours. For him it's about feeling and sensing the magnitude of the weather around him.
"It's so exciting. Roger gets so excited. He's so good at showing us what we're looking at ... to be able to come out here and see that is just something that you don't get everywhere on Earth," he explained.
These people's backgrounds are as varied as the weather they hunt. What binds them is a fascination with the elements - as long as there's a storm, their desire to chase will be irrepressible.

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott's expansion dreams aren't finished. No, the conference isn't trying to add another team. Scott is looking across the Pacific Ocean to China to help expand the conference's brand.
This is the second year of Scott's long-term effort to increase the Pac-12's presence in Asia. This summer, four groups from the conference will?or have?made trips to China. A conference All-Star volleyball team was the first to take the journey, spending 13 days there.
Scott said in a telephone interview Tuesday that he expected the Pac-12 to play regular season games in China within the next few years, and that he hoped the league's cable network would someday be available there.
"That's the next step," the Pac-12 commissioner said. "That's something we will be evaluating this summer. Taking the next step would be a regular season men's basketball game in China. Whether that's a nonconference game early in the season or during holiday time. There's a robust fan base for basketball in China, 300 million basketball fans."
Scott said the earliest such a game would happen would be the 2014-15 regular season.
Arizona State's men's basketball team and Cal's women's basketball program will head across the Pacific next month to play a series of exhibition games against Chinese teams. UCLA went over to China last summer in the first step of the conference's initiative.
Finally, a delegation of coaches?led by Oregon State men's basketball coach Craig Robinson?will conduct clinics for Chinese coaches in August.
"The ultimate goal is to build the brand of the schools in China and to develop other opportunities more broadly," the Pac-12 commissioner said. "That's tied to our philosophy of universities. Schools are looking at that when they think about globalization."
USC coach Mick Haley led the All-Star volleyball team on its trip earlier this month. The former U.S. national team coach loved the experience, returning to China for the first time in 15 years.
"I was worried that we wouldn't be competitive," Haley said. "They have 100,000 club teams and the whole country understands the game of volleyball. I was tremendously encouraged and surprised how well all the kids performed under pressure."
While the All-Star team didn't win any matches against the No. 1, 4 and 7 teams in the Chinese professional league, they were competitive.
"We were competitive with some of their best teams," Haley said. "It's a good sign if we got to the point in the future where we bring the best players and have the training time to put it together. It could be a made-for-TV kind of event?China vs. the U.S."
Haley said he would be "extremely interested and excited" to play a regular season match in Asia if the opportunity presented itself.
"I like the idea. China is trying to copy our university system below the pro league. They are testing it out and see if they can move in that direction also. It would be great to have some sort of tournament with some of our teams and their teams playing each other."
Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb seconded the idea. Her squad will be heading to China from Aug. 17-26.
"I'm up for anything that's going to help our game, be cutting edge. Larry Scott has visions greater than the visions what we see right now. We want to be the premiere women's basketball program and if we could play a game in Asia, I'd be the first to raise my hand."

Late Stage Lung Cancer Drug Gilotrif (Afatinib) Approved By FDA
| Patient / Public: |  | |
| Healthcare Prof: | |
The FDA has approved the use of Gilotrif (afatinib) to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have certain epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations in their tumors.
Lung cancer is one of the leading cancer-killers, with an estimated 159,480 people dying from the disease this year in the U.S. alone. Most cases of lung cancer are NSCLC (around 85 percent) and nearly one in 10 who have NSCLC have a EGFR gene mutation - most of them expressing exon 21 L858R substitution or EGFR exon 19 deletions.
As a a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Gilotrif works by blocking proteins that are necessary for cancer cells to develop. The drug will be approved exclusively for patients with tumors that express the EGFR exon 21 L858R substitution or exon 19 deletions or gene mutations.
The drug was reviewed under the FDA's priority review program which speeds up the review for medications that may provide effective therapy when no existing treatment option exists.
The therascreen EGFR RGQ PCR Kit is used to determine whether a person's tumor cells express an EGFR mutation.
Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said that "today's approvals further illustrate how a greater understanding of the underlying molecular pathways of a disease can lead to the development of targeted treatments. Gilotrif is the second drug approved this year for patients with untreated metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have the EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations."
Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health commented that "the approval of companion diagnostic tests and drugs are important developments in oncology, as they help us bring safe and effective treatments to patients who need them."
Tumor samples from participants in the clinical trial were used to assess the efficacy of the "therascreen EGFR RGQ PCR Kit" in detecting EGFR mutations.
Earlier this year, the FDA approved the cobas EGFR Mutation Test that also detects epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations. The cobas test is a companion diagnostic for the cancer drug Tarceva (erlotinib).
A total of 345 people with NSCLC whose tumors had EGFR mutations participated in the study. Those who took Gilotrif experienced a 4.2 month delay in tumor growth compared to those who received chemotherapy.
Side effects of Gilotrif include:
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc is marketing the drug Gilotrif.
Kevin Lokay, vice-president and business unit head, Oncology, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., said:
"We are truly excited to be able to offer GILOTRIF as a new treatment option for these patients. This approval is an achievement for Boehringer Ingelheim Oncology and the many teams and individuals who committed themselves to developing this therapy based on its potential identified in the clinical trial program. GILOTRIF marks the first, of what we expect will be many, oncology products to emerge from our research and development program."
