Tagrisso and tepotininb for GFER and MEK + lung cancer – pro

Osimertinib, also known as AZD9291, is a novel EGFR TKI developed by AstraZeneca, the structure and pharmacology of which are distinct from other third-generation EGFR TKIs.14 It shows 200-fold selectivity for T790M/L858R protein over wild-type EGFR and has been classed as a “breakthrough” compound for fast-track development, having demonstrated perfect objective response rate (ORR) in patients with T790M-positive NSCLC who had progressed on a first-generation EGFR TKI. Osimertinib received its first global approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in November 2015 for patients with metastatic EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC who had progressed on prior systemic therapy, including an EGFR TKI.
I found three studies supporting the combination of Tagisso and tepotnib for progressed NSC Lung Cancer.
