Osimertinib: A Review in Previously Untreated, EGFR Mutation-Positive, Advanced NSCLC.


ABSTRACT: Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene have been identified as key oncogenic drivers of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Osimertinib (Tagrisso®) is an orally administered, third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that is widely approved for the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations. In the pivotal phase III FLAURA trial, osimertinib significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) relative to first-generation EGFR-TKIs in patients with previously untreated, EGFR mutation-positive, advanced NSCLC. Osimertinib also significantly prolonged central nervous system (CNS) PFS in patients with CNS metastases at trial entry. Osimertinib had a generally manageable tolerability profile; the majority of adverse events considered to be possibly related to treatment were of mild to moderate severity. Osimertinib represents a valuable targeted therapeutic for use in adults with previously untreated, EGFR mutation-positive, advanced NSCLC.
