1. After a 3-year follow-up to a phase 3 trial, the epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib resulted in a longer median overall survival versus comparator EGFR-TKIs with similar safety profiles. 2. Benefits appeared to extend across most predefined subgroups including sex, age, and smoking history, although there was...

1. Osimertinib demonstrated a significantly longer duration of progression-free survival compared to standard of care epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in patients with untreated EGFR-mutated locally-advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 2. Osimertinib treated patients had fewer grade 3 or higher adverse events compared to patients...

Osimertinib or platinum-pemetrexed in EGFR T790M-positive lung cancer First line treatment for patients with advanced, non-small cell lung cancers that overexpress epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor to that receptor(EGFR-TKI). However, a common T790M mutation has been identified that reduces TKI binding, reduces drug efficacy and...
