What is TAGRISSO?

TAGRISSO is a prescription medicine for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

TAGRISSO is used:

• as a first treatment if tumors have a certain abnormal epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene(s)

or

• for a certain type of EGFR gene that has been treated with an EGFR
tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicine that did not work or is no
longer working
Your doctor will perform a test to make sure that TAGRISSO is right for you.
