Abstract

Osimertinib is a third-generation, irreversible EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI-sensitizing and EGFR-T790M-resistant mutations. In a phase III trial (FLAURA), osimertinib showed efficacy superior to that of first-generation gefitinib and erlotinib, with a similar safety profile and lower rates of serious adverse events. Osimertinib is currently being used as the first-line treatment for patients with advanced EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. However, the efficacy and safety of osimertinib treatment in clinical practice have not been fully verified.
