Mode of Action
Osimertinib is kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which binds irreversibly to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletion) at approximately 9-fold lower concentrations than wild-type. In cultured cells and animal tumor implantation models, osimertinib exhibited anti-tumor activity against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lines harboring EGFR-mutations (T790M/L858R, L858R, T790M/exon 19 deletion, and exon 19 deletion) and, to a lesser extent, wild-type EGFR amplifications.
Precaution
Determine EGFR T790M mutation status prior to treatment. Interstitial lung disease (eg, pneumonitis). Avoid use in patients w/ congenital long QT syndrome. Severe & end-stage renal impairment. May affect ability to drive or operate machinery. Women of childbearing potential not using contraception. Use effective contraception for at least 6 wk for females & 4 mth for males. Not recommended during pregnancy. Lactation. Based on its mechanism of action and animal data, Osimertinib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on Osimertinib use in pregnant women. Pregnant women should be advised of the...
