Nature Magazine as a source[edit]

Efforts to edit this article are being denied on the premise that Nature magazine is not a reliable souce. It is reliable and fits int he guildlines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lil bklyn (talk • contribs) 22:43, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure you sign your posts on talk pages - you do that by typing exactly four tildas at the end -- when you click "save" the Wikipedia software will convert that into links to your user page and talk page, and date stamp it. Also as this evolves please thread your comments, as I have done here. See WP:THREAD.
Please do read WP:MEDRS, especially the WP:MEDDEF section. Not everything published in Nature (or any journal) is OK to use in WP for content about health. Thx Jytdog (talk) 03:56, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I read them, and they have been noted. There is no reason to remove anything from Nature Magazing by the standards listed in those policies. The quotes in question are completely legitamate clinical trials and data listed in a reputable journal. I hope we have settled this now. Lil bklyn (talk) 00:28, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Have asked for more input by the folks at WP:MED; we do not use primary sources like this unless there is very good reason and you have not given any. Jytdog (talk) 00:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The notation in question is factually and medically true: "In people treated with osimertinib, resistance develops usually within 10 months etc" Please do not remove it again unless you have contradicting data. It is an essential characteristic of treatment with this drug. In addition, there is support with these links:

A reliable secondary source is needed to support claims regarding medical treatmnets, per WP:MEDRS. Perhaps some of this information could go into a Research section of the article. I suggest you wait for a consensus of support before adding this again. — soupvector (talk) 02:50, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subject: Inaccuracies in Osimertinib Wikipedia Page Dear Editor: My name is Melissa Carocci, PharmD, and I work for AstraZeneca. As a company, we are committed to improving the availability of accurate and well-balanced healthcare information available online regarding AstraZeneca products. As such, I wanted to point out inaccuracies on your site and respectfully ask for consideration to correct according to the information provided. The suggested edits are included below in Bold text or as a recommended specific change:

1) In the osimertinib information tab at right of the page "Trade names: Tagrisso, Tagrix" Evidence: Tagrix is not an approved trade name for osimertinib. Consider removing.

2) "Osimertinib (previously known as mereletinib; trade name Tagrisso)[2][3] is a medication used to treat non-small-cell lung carcinomas with a specific mutation.[4][5] [Line 1]." Evidence: The cited reference 4, 5 are from 2015 and only refer to use of osimertinib therapy in T790M positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, revised osimertinib prescribing information now contains information on osimertinib use as first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and in patients with T790M EGFR mutation after progression on prior EGFR-TKI therapy. , Specific change: Please consider citing the US and European prescribing labels for osimertinib (TAGRISSO Prescribing Information. https://www.azpicentral.com/tagrisso/tagrisso.pdf#page=1. European Medicines Agency. Osimertinib Summary of Product Characteristics. EMA website. https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/product-information/tagrisso-epar-product-information_en.pdf.)

3) “Osimertinib is used to treat locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), if the cancer cells are positive for activating EGFR mutations, or 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] [Medical uses/line1-2]”. Evidence: The information provided is not current. Revised osimertinib prescribing information now contains information on osimertinib use both in the first-line setting in patients with activating EGFR mutations and in patients with T790M EGFR mutation after progression on prior EGFR-TKI therapy. (TAGRISSO Prescribing Information; Osimertinib Summary of Product Characteristics)

4) “In the USA, EGFR exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R mutations or the 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 as one available companion diagnostic test for this purpose.[8] In Europe and elsewhere, activating EGFR mutations or T790M mutations may be determined by a validated test.” [Medical uses/line 4-6]. Evidence: Please note that information is incomplete and needs to be updated here. Revised osimertinib prescribing information for the US states that EGFR activating mutations (ex19del or L858R) and T790M status must be detected by a federally approved companion diagnostic test. Please note FoundationOne CDx is one of the FDA-approved test and additional FDA-approved diagnostic test(s) can be found on the following link [1]. Additionally, the European label does not specify next generation sequencing assay as the required platform to test for EGFR mutations. (Osimertinib Summary of Product Characteristics)

5) “In people treated with osimertinib in the second-line setting, resistance usually develops within approximately 10 months.[10] Resistance mediated by an exon 20 C797S mutation accounts for the majority of resistance cases. [Medical uses/lines 7-8]. In the first-line setting, median progression-free survival was 18.9 months. Resistance mechanisms to osimertinib used in the first-line setting are being studied. ” Evidence: This information is only accurate for the use of osimertinib in second- or later-line settings. In Phase III registrational trials, FLAURA (first-line) and AURA3 (second-line), median progression-free survival (PFS) in osimertinib arm was 18.9 and 10.1 months, respectively. Progression on osimertinib may occur due to resistance. Recent evidence has shown that the time to acquired resistance and type of acquired mutation on osimertinib treatment depends on line of osimertinib therapy. Schoenfeld et al reported that in first-line and second/later-line osimertinib therapy, the most common resistance mechanisms are MET amplification and EGFR exon 20 C797S mutation, respectively. (Soria JC, Ohe Y, Vansteenkiste J, et al. Osimertinib in untreated EGFR-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. N Engl J Med. 2018;378:113-125.ORCHARD Trial (NCT0394472). Clinicaltrials.gov website: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03944772?cond=osimertinib+and+orchard&draw=2&rank=1. Accessed April 9, 2020. Mok TS, Wu Y-L, Ahn M-J, et al. Osimertinib or platinum-pemetrexed in EGFR T790M-positive lung cancer. N Engl J Med. 2017;376:629-640.)


6) “It poses potential risk to the fetus, so should not be used in women who are pregnant, and women who take it should avoid becoming pregnant.[1][6] [Medical use/line 9]. Evidence: Consider revising to align with osimertinib label. (TAGRISSO Prescribing Information; Osimertinib Summary of Product Characteristics)

7) “Caution should be taken in people with a history of interstitial lung disease (ILD), as they were excluded from clinical trials, since the drug can cause severe ILD or pneumonitis. Caution should also be taken in people with a predisposition to long QT syndrome as the drug can provoke this.[1] [Medical use/line 10-11]”. Evidence: Consider revising to align with osimertinib label. (TAGRISSO Prescribing Information; Osimertinib Summary of Product Characteristics)

8) “Osimertinib is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, so substances like rifampicin that activate either enzyme may decrease the effectiveness of osimertinib.[1][6]. [Interactions/line 1-3].” Evidence: Consider revising to align with osimertinib label. (TAGRISSO Prescribing Information; Osimertinib Summary of Product Characteristics)

9) “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 14.3 (L/h). 68% of elimination is by feces and 14% by urine.[1] [Pharmacology/line 3-4].” Evidence: Consider revising to align with osimertinib label. (TAGRISSO Prescribing Information)

10) “Osimertinib was designated as a Breakthrough Therapy in April 2014 based on Phase I trial results,[12] and the drug was provisionally approved under the FDA accelerated approval program with a priority review voucher, in November 2015.[13] [History/line 3-4].” Specific change: Current website reference not available. Please consider referencing AZ press release: https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-centre/press-releases/2015/TAGRISSO-AZD9291-approved-by-the-US-FDA-for-patients-with-EGFR-T790M-mutation-positive-metastatic-non-small-cell-lung-cancer-13112015.html#].

11) “At launch, Astrazeneca priced the drug at $12,750 per month.[14]:59 [Society and Culture/line 1].” Specific change: Suggest deleting since this data is specific to US only and is outdated.

12) “As of April 2020, several clinical trials were ongoing. Ongoing trials can be found at clinicaltrials.gov[15] [Research/line 1]. Specific change: Update for current information and change citation to clinicaltrials.gov website.

Please contact me if you have any more inquiries at the address above. Many thanks, Melissa Carocci, Senior Medical Information Manager. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.34.151 (talk) 16:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Response[edit]

Dear Dr. Carocci: Thank you for your requests. It's always good to have input on articles from experts in the field. I'm going over them now, and will update the below list as I do so.

  1.  Not done Tagrix is an approved brand name for Osimertinib in at least one market (Bangladesh) (Source: Visit [2] and search for "Osimertinib"). Therefore, I have not changed this. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  2.  Partly done The labels are cited in the article, just not right there. Changed from with a specific mutation to with specific mutations. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 15:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  3.  Done --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 15:32, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  4. TO EVALUATE
  5. TO EVALUATE
  6.  Done: I agree a change is warranted. According to the FDA label, "Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TAGRISSO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman." [3] I have revised it to "It can cause fetal harm,..." to parallel with the label's language. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  7.  Done --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  8.  Done --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  9.  Done --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  10.  Partly done link fixed. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  11. TO EVALUATE. On Wikipedia, we've recently had a bunch of fights over this sort of thing, so I need to review what our policy is on including drug prices before implementing this request.
  12.  Done --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
