Tagrisso (osimertinib) is an EGFR-targeted cancer medicine. Its mechanism is to block EGFR signaling from specific activating mutations—shutting down the pathways that help tumor cells grow and survive. [1]
Tagrisso is used when a patient’s tumor has an EGFR mutation that depends on EGFR signaling. It is especially associated with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including cases where resistance has developed after earlier EGFR inhibitor therapy. [1]
EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) is a driver of growth signaling in certain cancers. When EGFR is mutated, the signaling can stay “on” even without normal growth signals from the body. By inhibiting EGFR’s activity, Tagrisso reduces downstream signals that support proliferation and survival of these tumor cells. [1]
