ADME

Absorption:

Peak plasma concentration time of Osimeritinib reaches within 6 hours

Distribution:Volume of distribution 918L

Plasma protein bound to Osimeritinib is 95%

Metabolism :

The metabolism of Osimeritinib is occurs through oxidation. The Two pharmacologically active metabolite of Osimeritinib are AZ7550 & AZ5104

Excretion: The mean terminal half life period 48 hours Clearance value 14.3L/hr 68% of metabolite is excreted in feces; 14% through urine 2% of unchanged form of drug is eliminated

MECHANISM

Osimeritinib is similar in action when compared to other tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs.

Osimeritinib is named tyrosine kinase inhibitor of epidermal development factor receptor which is available on the surface of tumor cells

osimertinib is non-reversibly converge with mutant type of EGFR at 9 folds than wild sort

Forbids EGFR sharpening changes exon 19 Del and L858R

Prompts denies transformed EGFR with T790M opposition transformation

At last, bring down action against wild kind EGFR

PRECAUTION

Some of the adverse effects occur during the therapy :

Interstitial lung disease: To avoid this problem, withheld or discontinue the Tagrisso 80mg tablets.

QTc extension: Avoid concurrent use of Tagrisso 80mg with drug prolong the QTc

Cardiomyopathy: Periodic cardiac monitoring is assessed; in this condition discontinue the therapy.

Keratitis: Monitor the manifestation of keratitis frequently and provide supportive measures

Embryo fetal toxicity: Tagrisso 40mgtablet used in pregnancy period causes fetal damage.

DRUG INTERACTION

Tagrisso 80mg tablets combines with strong CYP3A4 inducers causes reducing the exposure of Osimeritinib, this may leads to reduce the efficacy of Tagrisso.

Avoid the concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inducers with Tagrisso 40mgtablets.

Tagrisso 80mg tablet combined with BCRP substrates may causes increasing the exposure of BCRP substrates. Thus results as increasing the adverse effects related to BCRP substrates

Avoid concomitant use of Tagrisso 80mg tablets with drug which induce the QT prolongation. In this case patients should be undergone periodic ECG monitoring.

CONTRAINDICATION

No contraindication occurred during the therapy

In some patient’s anaphylactic reaction may occur due to patients may contraindicated to the ingredient of the product

MISSED DOSE

Tagrisso 80mg is a chemo medicine, in case of missed dose occurred skip the missed dose and follow the regular dosing schedule.
