Pharmacodynamics
Osimertinib is a kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which binds irreversibly to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletions) at approximately 9-fold lower concentrations than wild-type.
Two pharmacologically-active metabolites (AZ7550 and AZ5104 circulating at approximately 10% of the parent) with similar inhibitory profiles to osimertinib have been identified in the plasma after oral administration of osimertinib.
AZ7550 showed a similar potency to osimertinib, while AZ5104 showed greater potency against exon 19 deletion and T790M mutants (approximately 8-fold) and wild-type (approximately 15-fold) EGFR.
In vitro, osimertinib also inhibited the activity of HER2, HER3, HER4, ACK1, and BLK at clinically relevant concentrations.
In cultured cells and animal tumor implantation models, osimertinib exhibited anti-tumor activity against NSCLC lines harboring EGFR-mutations (T790M/L858R, L858R, T790M/exon 19 deletion, and exon 19 deletion) and, to a lesser extent, wild-type EGFR amplifications.
Osimertinib distributed to the brain in multiple animal species (monkey, rat, and mouse) with brain to plasma AUC ratios of approximately 2 following oral dosing.
These data are consistent with observations of tumor regression and increased survival in osimertinib.
- versus control-treated animals in a pre-clinical mutant-EGFR intracranial mouse metastasis xenograft model (PC9; exon 19 deletion). 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Based on an analysis of dose-exposure response relationships over the dose range of 20 mg (0.25 times the recommended dose) to 240 mg (3 times the recommended dose), no apparent relationship between osimertinib exposure and overall response rate, duration of response and progression-free survival was identified; however, there were limited data available at the 20 mg dose.
Over the same dose range, increased exposure led to increased probability of adverse reactions, specifically rash, diarrhea and ILD.
QTc interval prolongation potential of osimertinib was assessed in 210 patients who received TAGRISSO 80 mg daily in AURA2.
A central tendency analysis of the
QTcF data at steady-state demonstrated that the maximum mean change from baseline was 16.2 msec (upper bound of two-sided 90% confidence interval (CI) 17.6 msec).
A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis in AURA2 suggested a concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation of 14 msec (upper bound of two-sided 90% CI: 16 msec) at a dose of TAGRISSO 80 mg. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximal plasma concentration (C max ) of osimertinib increased dose proportionally over to 240 mg dose range (i.e., 0.25 to 3 times the recommended dosage) after oral administration and exhibited linear pharmacokinetics (PK).
Administration of
TAGRISSO orally once daily resulted in approximately 3-fold accumulation with steady-state exposures achieved after 15 days of dosing.
At steady state, the C max to C min (minimal concentration) ratio was 1.6-fold.
The pharmacokinetics in patients treated with osimertinib in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy are similar to those in patients treated with osimertinib monotherapy.
Absorption The median time to
C max of osimertinib was 6 hours (range 3-24 hours).
Following administration of a 20 mg TAGRISSO tablet with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (containing approximately 58 grams of fat and 1000 calories), the C max and AUC of osimertinib were comparable to that under fasting conditions.
The mean volume of distribution at steady-state (V ss /F) of osimertinib was 918 L. Plasma protein binding of osimertinib was 95%.
PET brain imaging studies in healthy volunteers and in patients with brain metastases show that osimertinib is distributed to the brain following intravenous injection of a micro dose of 11 C-labeled osimertinib.
Osimertinib plasma concentrations decreased with time and a population estimated mean half-life of osimertinib was 48 hours, and oral clearance (CL/F) was 14.3 (L/h).
The main metabolic pathways of osimertinib were oxidation (predominantly CYP3A) and dealkylation in vitro.
Two pharmacologically active metabolites (AZ7550 and AZ5104) have been identified in the plasma after TAGRISSO oral administration.
The geometric mean exposure (AUC) of each metabolite (AZ5104 and AZ7550) was approximately 10% of the exposure of osimertinib at steady-state.
Osimertinib is primarily eliminated in the feces (68%) and to a lesser extent in the urine (14%).
Unchanged osimertinib accounted for approximately 2% of the elimination.
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of osimertinib were observed based on age, sex, ethnicity, body weight, baseline albumin, line of therapy, smoking status, renal function (creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≥15 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault), or hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A and B, or total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or total bilirubin between to 3 times ULN and any AST).
The pharmacokinetics of osimertinib in patients with end-stage renal disease (CLcr <15 mL/min) or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin to 10 times ULN and any AST) are unknown.
Drug Interaction Studies Effect of Other Drugs on TAGRISSO in Clinical Pharmacokinetic Studies Strong CYP3A Inducers: The steady-state AUC of osimertinib was reduced by 78% in patients when co-administered with rifampin (600 mg daily for 21 days) .
CYP3A Inhibitors: Co-administering TAGRISSO with 200 mg itraconazole twice daily (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) had no clinically significant effect on the exposure of osimertinib (AUC increased by 24% and C max decreased by 20%).
The exposure of osimertinib was not affected by concurrent administration of a single 80 mg TAGRISSO tablet following 40 mg omeprazole administration for 5 days.
Effect of Osimertinib on Other Drugs in Clinical Pharmacokinetic Studies BCRP substrates: Co-administering TAGRISSO with rosuvastatin (a BCRP substrate) increased rosuvastatin AUC by 35% and C max by 72% .
P-gp substrates
Co-administering TAGRISSO with fexofenadine (a P-gp substrate) increased fexofenadine AUC and C max by 56% and 76% after a single dose and 27% and 25% at steady state, respectively.
CYP3A4 substrates: Co-administering TAGRISSO with simvastatin (a CYP3A4 substrate) had no clinically significant effect on the exposure of simvastatin.
CYP450 Metabolic Pathways: Osimertinib does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 2E1.
Osimertinib induced
CYP1A2 enzymes.
Osimertinib is a substrate of P-glycoprotein and BCRP and is not a substrate of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3.
Osimertinib is an inhibitor of BCRP and does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2K and OCT2.

Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity due to TAGRISSO Previously Treated EGFR T790M Mutation-Positive Metastatic NSCLC 80 mg tablet orally once daily with or without food Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Administration Administer TAGRISSO 80 mg tablet orally once daily with or without food.
Tablets may be dispersed in water for patients who have difficulty swallowing, or for nasogastric tube administration.
Missed Dose If a dose of
TAGRISSO is missed, do not make up the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled. 2.4 Administration to Patients Who Have Difficulty Swallowing Solids Disperse TAGRISSO tablet in 60 mL (2 ounces) of non-carbonated water only.
Stir until tablet is dispersed into small pieces (the tablet will not completely dissolve) and swallow immediately.
Do not crush, heat, or ultrasonicate during preparation.
Rinse the container with 120 mL to 240 mL (4 to 8 ounces) of water and immediately drink.
If administration via nasogastric tube is required, disperse the TAGRISSO tablet as above in 15 mL of non-carbonated water, and then use an additional 15 mL of water to transfer any residues to the syringe.
The resulting 30 mL liquid should be administered as per the nasogastric tube instructions with appropriate water flushes (approximately 30 mL).
Repeat this step until no pieces remain in the syringe.
This will help to ensure that the full prescribed dose of the TAGRISSO is given.
The dispersion and residues should be administered within 30 minutes of the addition of the tablets to water. 2.5 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose reductions for adverse reactions are provided in Table 3.

Excursions permitted to 15-30°C (59-86°F) .
Pregnancy
Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TAGRISSO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
There are no available data on
TAGRISSO use in pregnant women.
Administration of osimertinib to pregnant rats was associated with embryolethality and reduced fetal growth at plasma exposures 1.5 times the exposure at the recommended clinical dose.
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
In the
U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
When administered to pregnant rats prior to embryonic implantation through the end of organogenesis (gestation days 2-20) at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day, which produced plasma exposures of approximately 1.5 times the clinical exposure, osimertinib caused post-implantation loss and early embryonic death.
When administered to pregnant rats from implantation through the closure of the hard palate (gestation days to 16) at doses of 1 mg/kg/day and above (0.1 times the AUC observed at the recommended clinical dose of 80 mg once daily), an equivocal increase in the rate of fetal malformations and variations was observed in treated litters relative to those of concurrent controls.
When administered to pregnant dams at doses of 30 mg/kg/day during organogenesis through lactation Day 6, osimertinib caused an increase in total litter loss and postnatal death.
At a dose of 20 mg/kg/day, osimertinib administration during the same period resulted in increased postnatal death as well as a slight reduction in mean pup weight at birth that increased in magnitude between lactation days and 6.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of
TAGRISSO in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 1813 patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation-positive NSCLC who were treated with TAGRISSO monotherapy, 770 patients were ≥65 years and 207 patients were ≥75 years of age.
Exploratory analysis suggests a higher incidence of Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions (43% vs 33%) and more frequent dosage modifications for adverse reactions (34% vs 23%) in patients 65 years or older as compared to those younger than 65 years.
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients 65 years or older and younger patients.
TAGRISSO Following Definitive Platinum-based Chemoradiation Therapy
Of the 142 patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation-positive, locally advanced unresectable (Stage III) NSCLC treated with TAGRISSO following definitive platinum-based chemoradiation therapy, 62 patients were ≥65 years and 13 patients were ≥75 years of age.
TAGRISSO in Combination with Pemetrexed and Platinum-based Chemotherapy Of the 276 patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation-positive, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy, 104 patients were ≥65 years and 23 patients were ≥75 years of age.
Exploratory analysis suggests a higher incidence of Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions (68% vs 61%) and more frequent dosage modifications for adverse reactions (55% vs 43%) in patients 65 years or older as compared to those younger than 65 years.
Clinical studies of
TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy did not include sufficient numbers of patients age and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.
