Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) said Thursday it was launching a generic version of Tarceva, or erlotinib, tablets in the U.S.

Erlotinib tablets are a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of certain patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, Teva said. Erlotinib tablets are also indicated for first-line treatment of certain patients with pancreatic cancer.

Tarceva is distributed in the U.S. by Astellas Pharma U.S. in partnership with Genentech, a member of The Roche Group.
