Osimertinib – USFDA Approved Latest Drug for Lung Cancer Patients
Osimertinib is the first of its kind to be indicated for patients with T790M mutation-positive NSCLC, irrespective of previous treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Mutations in the EGFR receptor can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and tumour formation. Osimertinib targets both the EGFR mutation that triggers cancer development and T790M, a mutation that makes tumours resistant to existing treatment with EGFR-TKIs. Tagrix is the first global generic preparation of Osimertinib which is approved by Directorate of Drug Administration, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, People’s Republic of Bangladesh.

Know More About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death around the world, in both men and women. It account for one-third of all cancer deaths, and more than breast, prostate and colorectal cacners combined. In Europe, 10-15% of NSCLC patients are affected with EGFRm form of NSCLC, and 30-40% of NSCLC patients of Asia. The patients undergo treatment with currently available EGFR-TKIs – gefitinib, erlotinib or afatinib.
However, in almost 50-60% patients a secondary mutation develops, T790M, which causes resistance to the traditional drugs and causes disease progression. And the treatment for such resistant mutation is also very limited.
