Osimert 80 mg (Osimertinib)

This page summarizes important information from official regulatory labeling. It is not a replacement for the complete official prescribing information.

Indications

Depending on jurisdiction, osimertinib is approved for selected adults with EGFR-mutated NSCLC in settings including:

  • Adjuvant treatment after tumor resection
  • Locally advanced unresectable stage III disease after definitive platinum-based chemoradiation
  • First-line metastatic disease
  • First-line locally advanced or metastatic disease with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy
  • Previously treated metastatic EGFR T790M-positive disease

The exact wording and scope vary by regulator.

Dosage

The standard U.S. dose for the listed adult indications is 80 mg orally once daily, with or without food.

Dosage forms

The U.S. reference product is available as 40 mg and 80 mg tablets.

Contraindications

The U.S. label lists no contraindications.

Important warnings

The major warnings and precautions include:

  • ILD/pneumonitis
  • QTc prolongation
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Keratitis
  • Serious cutaneous reactions
  • Cutaneous vasculitis
  • Aplastic anemia
  • Embryo-fetal toxicity

Drug interactions

Strong CYP3A4 inducers should generally be avoided. QT-prolonging drugs may require additional assessment because osimertinib itself can prolong QTc.

  • Cardiac function/LVEF
  • Blood counts
  • Liver-related laboratory tests
  • Respiratory symptoms
