Small molecule inhibitors capable of blocking EGFR and VEGFR kinase activity (compound A and B respectively) have also been developed and are currently being evaluated in advanced and metastatic disease. Resistance to both Herceptin and Avastin occurs frequently.

Broad MMP inhibitors failed in the clinic due to their negative impact on normal tissue remodeling. Enzyme-specific MMP inhibitors are currently pursued for a more directed approach. For instance ADAM17 inhibitors may inhibit TNFα activation and shedding of IgSF members.
