Osimertinib (previously known as mereletinib or AZD9291;[2] trade name Tagrisso) is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drug[3][4] developed by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals – for mutated EGFR cancers.

Approvals and indications

In November 2015, after a Priority Review, the US FDA granted accelerated approval to osimertinib for the treatment of metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as detected by an FDA-approved test, which has progressed on or after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.[5][6]

The FDA approval made reference to two clinical trials, in which an EGFR T790M mutation was confirmed by a Cobas EGFR mutation test; osimertinib was given as 80 mg once daily.[1][7]

The EU gave a similar approval in Feb 2016[8] after two Phase II studies (AURA extension and AURA2).

Clinical trials

First-line use

Osimertinib has also given encouraging results in early trials as a first-line therapy.[9]
