  • Select patients for treatment with TAGRISSO based on the presence of EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations1
  • The recommended dose of TAGRISSO monotherapy is 80 mg orally once a day1
    • TAGRISSO comes in 2 prescription strengths, 80 mg and 40 mg, allowing you to adjust your patient’s dose if necessary
  • If a dose of TAGRISSO is missed, do not make up the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled1
  • Remind your patients about the importance of taking TAGRISSO at the same time every day1

TAGRISSO can be used as monotherapy and with chemotherapy1

  • TAGRISSO can be used as monotherapy for patients with:
    • Resectable EGFRm NSCLC
    • Locally advanced, unresectable (stage III) EGFRm NSCLC following CRT
    • Metastatic EGFRm NSCLC
  • Before initiating TAGRISSO monotherapy, perform complete blood count with differential. In patients with cardiac risk factors, conduct cardiac monitoring, including assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)1

Resectable disease: Treat in the adjuvant setting until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 3 years1*

In ADAURA, patients were treated for 3 years, or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity1

TAGRISSO monotherapy dosing1 for resectable EGFRm NSCLC TAGRISSO (80 mg qd) Treat for a total of 3 years or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity
TAGRISSO monotherapy dosing1 for resectable EGFRm NSCLC TAGRISSO (80 mg qd) Treat for a total of 3 years or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity

In a survey of patients with resectable stage I, II, or III NSCLC and/or caregivers, the majority were willing to stay on oral daily therapy for 3 years to keep their cancer from coming back2*

NCCN recommendation
