Remarks

September 25, 2024, FDA approved osimertinib (Tagrisso) for adult patients with locally advanced, unresectable (stage III) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not progressed during or following concurrent or sequential platinum-based chemoradiation therapy and whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.

February 16, 2024 FDA approved osimertinib (Tagrisso) with platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (la/mNSCLC) whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.

December 26, 2020 The FDA approved Tagrisso (osimertinib) for adjuvant therapy after tumor resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test

July 2020: Tagrisso (osimertinib) has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from FDA for the adjuvant treatment of patients with early-stage (IB, II and IIIA) epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer after complete tumor resection with curative intent.

April 19, 2018: FDA approved osimertinib (Tagrisso) for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.

4/23/2017: FDA granted regular approval to Tagrisso (osimertinib) for the treatment of patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, whose disease has progressed on or after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

November 13, 2015: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval for an oral medication to treat patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tagrisso (osimertinib) is now approved for patients whose tumors have a specific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (T790M) and whose disease has gotten worse after treatment with other EGFR-blocking therapy.
