of patients with early-stage EGFR-mutated lung cancer
Tagrisso is the only targeted medicine to show efficacy in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer in a global trial and the first such medicine approved in China
where Tagrisso reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 80%
AstraZeneca's Tagrisso (osimertinib) has been approved in China for the adjuvant treatment of patients with early-stage (IB, II and IIIA) epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after tumour resection with curative intent, with or without adjuvant chemotherapy as recommended by the patient's physician. Tagrisso is indicated for EGFRm patients whose tumours have exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) mutations.
