Tagrisso 80 — Osimertinib 80 mg (30 Tablets)
Tagrisso (Osimertinib) is an advanced antineoplastic medication belonging to the third generation of targeted epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is specifically designed to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring specific genetic mutations. The uniqueness of osimertinib lies in its ability to effectively target the tumor even in the presence of the T790M mutation, which often causes resistance to previous generations of drugs.
Manufacturer: AstraZeneca. Tagrisso has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it highly effective in treating brain metastases. The drug significantly increases progression-free survival while maintaining a high quality of life for patients.
Key Features:
- ✅ Third-Generation TKI: Overcomes resistance to first- and second-generation therapies (T790M mutation).
- ✅ CNS Metastasis Control: High activity against brain lesions.
- ✅ Targeted Precision: Selectively blocks cancer cell signaling pathways without affecting wild-type healthy cells.
Tagrisso (Osimertinib) is prescribed by oncologists for the following indications:
- 🔹 Adjuvant Therapy: After radical surgery in patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R substitution).
- 🔹 First-Line Therapy: Treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations.
- 🔹 Second-Line Therapy: Treatment of metastatic NSCLC with a positive T790M mutation after progression on therapy with other EGFR inhibitors.
Sales Form: 1 pack contains 30 tablets of 80 mg.
