How Tagrisso 80 Mg Tablet (Osimertinib) Works:

Tagrisso 80 mg Tablet has an active ingredient; Osimertinib which is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) which binds to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletion) that dominate in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours following treatment with first-line EGFR-TKIs. As a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Osimertinib is specific for the gate-keeper T790M mutation that increases ATP binding activity to EGFR & results in poor prognosis for late-stage disease. Furthermore, Osimertinib has been shown to standby wild-type EGFR during therapy, thereby reducing non-specific binding and limiting toxicity.
