Drug interaction overview
- Osimertinib is a CYP3A4 substrate; a P-gp and BCRP inhibitor
-
CYP3A4 inducers
- Avoid use; if concurrent use is unavoidable, increase osimertinib dose
- Coadministration with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased osimertinib systemic exposure
-
BCRP and P-gp substrates
- Monitor for adverse effects of BCRP and P-gp substrates
- Coadministration with a BCRP or P-gp substrate increased exposure and risk of toxicities of BCRP or P-gp substrate
-
Drugs that prolong QTC interval
- Avoid use; if unavoidable, monitor ECG periodically
- Effects of coadministration with QT prolonging drugs is unknown
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, fetal harm may occur when administered to pregnant females
No data available in humans
Animal data
- Administration to pregnant rats was associated with embryolethality and reduced fetal growth at plasma exposures 1.5x the exposure at the recommended human dose
Infertility
- Based on animal studies, may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential
Contraception
- Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 weeks after final dose
- Males with female partners of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during and for 4 months following final dose
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
Administration to rats during gestation and early lactation was associated with adverse effects, including reduced growth rates and neonatal death
Advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 2 weeks after final dose
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which binds irreversibly to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletion) at ~9-fold lower concentrations than wild-type
Absorption
Peak plasma time: 6 hr
Distribution
Protein bound: 95%
Vd, steady-state: 918 L
Metabolism
Main metabolic pathways of osimertinib were oxidation (predominantly CYP3A) and dealkylation in vitro
Metabolites: Two pharmacologically-active metabolites (AZ7550 and AZ5104 circulating at approximately 10% of the parent) with similar inhibitory profiles to osimertinib have been identified
Elimination
Half-life: 48 hr
Clearance: 14.3 L/hr
Excretion: 68% (feces); 14% (urine); ~2% (unchanged osimertinib)
Administration
Oral Administration
Administer with or without food
Missed dose: Do not make up the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled
Administration to patients with swallowing difficulty
- Disperse tablet in 4 tablespoons of noncarbonated water only
- Stir until tablet is completely dispersed and swallow or administer through nasogastric tube immediately
- Do not crush, heat, or ultrasonicate during preparation
- Rinse the container with 4-8 ounces of water and immediately drink
Nasogastric tube administration
- Disperse tablet as above in 15 mL of noncarbonated water, then use an additional 15 mL of water to transfer any residues to the syringe; administer resulting 30 mL liquid as per the nasogastric tube instructions with appropriate water flushes (~30 mL)

(OH-sim-ER-ti-nib)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Tagrisso
USES: This medication is used to treat lung cancer. Osimertinib belongs to a class of drugs known as kinase inhibitors. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. It binds to a certain protein (epidermal growth factor receptor-EGFR) in some tumors.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking osimertinib and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily.If you have trouble swallowing the tablet whole, place the tablet into a container with a small amount of non-carbonated water (2 ounces/60 milliliters). Stir well until the tablet breaks into small pieces. The tablet will not completely dissolve. Do not crush the tablet or heat the mixture. Drink all of the mixture right away. Add at least another half a glass of water (4 ounces/120 milliliters) to the container and drink all of the mixture to make sure you are getting all of the drug. Use only non-carbonated water for mixing, and do not prepare a supply in advance. The mixture may also be given through a tube into the stomach (nasogastric tube).
