Osimertinib (previously known as mereletinib or AZD9291; trade name Tagrisso)[2][3] is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor drug used to treat non-small-cell lung carcinomas with a specific mutation.[4][5] Developed by AstraZeneca, the drug was fully approved as a cancer treatment in 2017 by both the Food and Drug Administration and the European Commission.

Medical uses

Osimertinib is used to treat locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), if the cancer cells are positive for the T790M mutation in the gene coding for EGFR.[1][6] The T790M mutation may be de novo or acquired following first-line treatment with other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and afatinib.[7]

In the USA, T790M status of the patient prior to treatment with osimertinib must be detected by a federally approved companion diagnostic test.[1] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved FoundationOne CDx for this purpose.[8] In Europe and elsewhere, T790M mutations may be determined by a validated and suitably sensitive next-generation sequencing assay.[9]

In people treated with osimertinib, resistance develops usually within 10 months.[10] Resistance mediated by an exon 20 C797S mutation accounts for approximately 40% of cases and represents the majority of resistance mechanisms. Less common mechanisms so far described are amplification of either HER2/neu or MET, an E545K mutation of the PIK3CA gene, the V600E mutation in the BRAF gene, and L718Q mutation in the EGFR domain, along with other less frequent or not yet identified mechanisms.

It causes fetal harm, so should not be used in women who are pregnant, and women who take it should avoid becoming pregnant.[1][6]

Caution should be taken in people with a history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) were excluded from clinical trials, as the drug can cause severe ILD or pneumonia. Caution should also be taken in people with a predisposition to long QT syndrome as the drug can provoke this.[1]

Adverse effects

Very common (greater than 10% of clinical trial subjects) adverse effects include diarrhea, stomatitis, rashes, dry or itchy skin, infections where finger or toenails abut skin, low platelet counts, low leukocyte counts, and low neutrophil counts.[6]

Common (between 1% and 10% of clinical trial subjects) adverse effects include interstitial lung disease.[6]

Interactions

Osimertinib is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, so substances that strongly inhibit either enyzme, like macrolide antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals may increase exposure to osimertinib, and substances like rifampicin that activate either enzyme will decrease the effectiveness of osimertinib.[1][6]

Pharmacology

Osimertinib binds irreversibly to epidermal growth factor receptor proteins expressed by EGFR with a T790M mutation;[6] it also binds irreversibly to EGFR with a L858R mutation and with an exon 19 deletion.[1]

It exhibits linear pharmacokinetics; the median time to Cmax is 6 hours (range 3–24 hours). The estimated mean half-life is 48 hours, and oral clearance (CL/F) is 14.2 (L/h). 68% of elimination is by feces and 14% by urine.[1]

Chemistry

Osimertinib is provided as the mesylate; the chemical formula is C28H33N7O2•CH4O3S, and the molecular weight is 596 g/mol. The chemical name is N-(2-{2-dimethylaminoethyl-methylamino}-4-methoxy-5-{[4-(1-methylindol-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}phenyl)prop-2-enamide mesylate salt.[1]

History

The drug discovery program that led to osimertinib started in 2009 and yielded the drug by 2012; the process was structure-driven and aimed to find a third generation EGFR inhibitor that would selectively target the T790M form of the EGFR receptor.[11]

Osimertinib was designated as a Breakthrough Therapy in April 2014 based on Phase I trial results,[11] and the drug was provisionally approved under the FDA accelerated approval program with a priority review voucher, in November 2015.[12]

In February 2016 the EMA provisionally approved osimertinib under an accelerated process—the first approval under the program.[11]

Society and culture

At launch, Astrazeneca priced the drug at $12,750 per month.[13]: 59 

Research

As of December 2016 several clinical trials were ongoing.[14]
