Osimertinib 80mg Tablets (AZD9291)
Osimertinib is a targeted therapy designed for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) associated with the EGFR T790M mutation. This small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor is often recommended for patients whose cancer has spread and who have not responded to prior treatments.
Uses of Osimertinib Tablets
- Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Specifically for advanced stages that have metastasized and cannot be surgically removed.
- Alternative for Patients with Treatment Resistance: It provides a new option for those who have stopped responding to previous therapies with other tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
How Osimertinib Works
Osimertinib targets specific mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), particularly the L858R and exon 19 mutations. It effectively inhibits abnormal cell growth, reducing tumor size, halting cancer progression, and decreasing the risk of relapse post-surgery.
