Osimert 80 mg Tablets contains Osimertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting specific mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as detected by an FDA-approved test, who have progressed on or after EGFR TKI therapy.
Dosage and Administration:
The recommended dosage is 80 mg orally once daily, with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Common Side Effects:
Patients may experience side effects such as diarrhea, rash, dry skin, and nail toxicity. It’s important to monitor for serious adverse reactions, including interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, QT interval prolongation, and cardiomyopathy.
Precautions:
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for respiratory symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Discontinue Osimertinib if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed.
- QT Interval Prolongation: Monitor electrocardiograms and electrolytes in patients with a history or predisposition for QTc prolongation. Adjust dosage or discontinue Osimertinib as necessary.
- Cardiomyopathy: Assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before treatment and periodically thereafter. Discontinue Osimertinib if cardiomyopathy is confirmed.
Use in Specific Populations:
- Pregnancy: Osimertinib can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 weeks after the final dose.
- Lactation: Advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 2 weeks after the final dose.
Drug Interactions:
Avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers, as they may alter Osimertinib plasma concentrations.
