Osimertinib Treats CNS Metastases in NSCLC

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2018 Nov.

Abstract

The EGFR inhibitor osimertinib may be an effective therapy for patients with untreated non-small cell lung cancer who have brain metastases. In a recent study, the drug extended median progression-free survival and increased objective response rates compared with the first-generation EGFR inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib.
