Quick takeaways

  • Osimertinib can be used preemptively to target resistant cells in NSCLC, extending progression-free survival.
  • Preemptive combinations of Osimertinib, Afatinib, and Catmatinib aim to address multiple resistance mechanisms in NSCLC.

Deep dives

The Rise of Osemertinib as a Third-Generation EGFR TKI

Osemertinib was approved as a second-line therapy for NSCLC patients with the T790M mutation due to its ability to target this resistance mutation. This approval marked a shift in treatment strategy, as Osemertinib could be administered preemptively as a first-line treatment to prevent resistant cells from proliferating. Clinical trials showed Osemertinib significantly extended progression-free survival and response duration compared to first-generation inhibitors, highlighting its efficacy as a potent treatment option.
