TAGRISSO has become a standard treatment due to its strong efficacy in both first-line and adjuvant settings. The growing prevalence of EGFR mutations, a rise in lung cancer diagnoses, and broader approvals for early-stage treatment all contribute to its promising growth potential. LAS VEGAS , March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's " TAGRISSO Market Size, Forecast, and Market Insight Report" highlights the details around TAGRISSO, a kinase inhibitor of the EGFR, which binds irreversibly to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletions) at approximately nine-fold lower concentrations than wild-type. The report provides product descriptions, patent details, and competitor products (marketed and emerging therapies) of TAGRISSO. The report also highlights the historical and forecasted sales from 2020 to 2034 segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. AstraZeneca's TAGRISSO (osimertinib) Overview TAGRISSO is a prescription medication for adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that carries specific EGFR gene mutations. It is used to help prevent cancer recurrence after surgical tumor removal, as a first-line treatment for metastatic NSCLC, or for patients whose cancer has spread and no longer responds to prior EGFR TKI therapy. As a kinase inhibitor, TAGRISSO irreversibly targets specific mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletions) with significantly higher selectivity than the wild-type EGFR. After oral administration, two active metabolites (AZ7550 and AZ5104) circulate at around 10% of the parent drug and exhibit similar inhibitory effects as osimertinib. In vitro studies also show that osimertinib inhibits HER2, HER3, HER4, ACK1, and BLK at clinically relevant levels. The recommended TAGRISSO dosage is 80 mg once daily, taken with or without food, and continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

When mutations occur in the EGFR gene, they can lead to excessive cell growth, potentially causing cancer. These mutations can take various forms, including deletions, insertions, and point mutations. Among the most common EGFR mutations detected in test results are the EGFR exon 19 deletion and the EGFR L858R point mutation. In non-small cell lung cancer, targeted therapies primarily focus on EGFR-sensitizing mutations and EGFR exon 20 insertions. The most frequently observed EGFR mutations include exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R mutations. To address these, the FDA has approved several tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In 2023, the EGFR-mutated NSCLC market across the 7MM was valued at approximately USD 4 billion. The NSCLC treatment landscape is becoming increasingly biomarker-driven, with EGFR emerging as one of the most lucrative targets. TAGRISSO remains the leading therapy in this segment, maintaining a strong market presence. However, resistance to EGFR TKIs, particularly after TAGRISSO treatment, is a growing challenge. Developing treatments for patients who experience resistance remains one of the most pressing unmet needs in this space.

HONG KONG, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) ("Akeso" or the "Company") is excited to announce that the groundbreaking results of the Phase III clinical study (HARMONi-2/AK112-303) of its first-in-class PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, ivonescimab, as a monotherapy compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy in the first-line treatment of PD-L1 positive (PD-L1 TPS ≥1%) locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been published in The Lancet. The Lancet is a prestigious international medical journal, and the publication of the HARMONi-2 study results in The Lancet is a strong recognition by the academic community to the breakthrough clinical potential of ivonescimab. Previously, clinical research on using ivonescimab for the treatment of various malignant tumors has been published in renowned international medical journals such as JAMA, Journal of Thoracic Oncology, eClinical Medicine (a sub-journal of The Lancet), and Drugs. At the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), the results of the HARMONi-2 study were presented as an oral report by the principal investigator of the study, Professor Zhou Caicun, a renowned oncology expert who is the President-Elect of IASLC, and the director of the Department of Oncology at the Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University. The HARMONi-2 study demonstrated that in the intent-to-treat population, ivonescimab monotherapy significantly extended progression-free survival (PFS) compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy, reducing the risk of disease progression by 49% (PFS HR 0.51, P<0.0001). Subgroup analyses revealed that regardless of patients' age, gender, ECOG performance status, PD-L1 expression, histological type, or the presence of liver or brain metastases, the ivonescimab group showed significant improvement in efficacy compared to the pembrolizumab group. The ivonescimab HARMONi-2 study is the world's first randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase III clinical trial to achieve significantly positive results compared to pembrolizumab. Based on these promising results, the sNDA for ivonescimab monotherapy as a first-line treatment for PD-L1 positive NSCLC is under review with priority status in China. Ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy for EGFR-TKI-resistant non-squamous NSCLC, has already been approved and included in the 2024 China National Reimbursement Drug List. The growing body of clinical evidence from multiple Phase II and Phase III studies continues to validate ivonescimab's efficacy benefit and safety profile. These results are often published in major international conferences and in top-tier journals, providing oncologists strong scientific basis for treatment decisions. Akeso has strategically positioned ivonescimab within a comprehensive development plan, aiming to reshape the landscape of cancer immunotherapy and establish a new global standard of care. Ivonescimab, in combination with chemotherapy, has been approved in China for the treatment of EGFR-TKI-resistant, non-squamous NSCLC. The New Drug Application (sNDA) for ivonescimab monotherapy as a first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive NSCLC (in comparison to pembrolizumab) is currently under review and has been granted priority status in China.
