Product Information
Osicent (Osimertinib) 80mg is a third-generation, irreversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) used to treat EGFR mutation-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), including tumours with exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R mutations, and the T790M resistance mutation. It works by irreversibly binding to mutant EGFR proteins, blocking the signalling pathway that drives tumour cell growth and survival, while sparing wild-type EGFR to a much greater extent than earlier-generation TKIs, and shows strong penetration into the central nervous system for patients with brain metastases. Manufactured by Incepta Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Bangladesh and globally supplied by Mediaid Pharmacy with worldwide shipping.

How Osicent (Osimertinib) Works
Osicent contains Osimertinib, a third-generation, irreversible inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. In certain non-small cell lung cancers, mutations in the EGFR gene, most commonly exon 19 deletions and the exon 21 L858R substitution, cause the receptor to signal continuously, driving uncontrolled tumour cell growth and survival.
Osimertinib binds irreversibly to these mutant EGFR forms, including the T790M resistance mutation that commonly develops after treatment with earlier-generation EGFR-TKIs, at substantially lower concentrations than are needed to affect normal, wild-type EGFR. By selectively shutting down mutant EGFR signalling, Osicent halts tumour proliferation, and its favourable penetration of the central nervous system makes it particularly useful for patients with brain metastases, a frequent complication of EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
Because of this mutant-selective mechanism, Osicent is classified as a targeted therapy rather than conventional chemotherapy, allowing it to act on cancer cells more precisely while producing a different, generally more manageable side-effect profile. It is taken as a convenient once-daily oral tablet.
Indications for Osicent (Osimertinib)
Osicent (Osimertinib) is indicated for the following conditions:
|
First-Line Metastatic NSCLC For the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumours have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an approved test. |
T790M-Positive NSCLC For adult patients with metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC whose disease has progressed on or after prior EGFR-TKI therapy. |
Benefits of Osicent (Osimertinib) 80mg
|
Strong CNS Penetration Osicent shows strong penetration into the central nervous system, making it particularly effective against brain metastases, a common and difficult-to-treat complication of EGFR-mutated NSCLC. |
Convenient Once-Daily Dosing Osicent is taken as a single oral tablet once daily, offering a simple, convenient regimen compared to intravenous chemotherapy schedules. |
Effective Against Resistance Mutations Unlike first and second-generation EGFR-TKIs, Osicent retains activity against the T790M resistance mutation, extending treatment options for patients who have progressed on earlier therapy. |
|
Affordable Alternative to Tagrisso Osicent contains the same active ingredient as Tagrisso by AstraZeneca, at a significantly lower cost, making long-term targeted lung cancer therapy financially accessible for patients worldwide. |
Improved Survival Outcomes Clinical trials of Osimertinib demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free and overall survival compared to earlier-generation EGFR-TKIs. |

How to Take Osicent (Osimertinib)
Route: Oral, taken by mouth. Tablets should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, dissolved, or divided.
Standard dose: 80mg (one tablet) once daily, taken at approximately the same time each day, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, exactly as directed by the prescribing oncologist.
With food: Can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day.
Missed dose: If a dose is missed by more than 12 hours, skip that dose and take the next dose at its normal scheduled time; do not double up doses.
Difficulty swallowing: For patients who cannot swallow tablets whole, disperse the tablet in 60mL (2 ounces) of non-carbonated water only, stirring until dispersed into small pieces (the tablet will not fully dissolve), and swallow immediately. Do not crush, heat, or ultrasonicate the tablet during preparation.
Dose reduction for toxicity: If a dose reduction is required to manage adverse reactions such as QTc prolongation, rash, diarrhoea, or other toxicity, the dose may be reduced to a lower strength once daily, as directed by the prescribing physician.
Renal impairment: No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. Osicent has not been studied in severe renal impairment.
Hepatic impairment: No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. Osicent is not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment due to a lack of safety data.
Strong CYP3A4 inducers: Concomitant use should be avoided where possible, as these (including rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and St. John’s Wort) may decrease Osimertinib plasma concentrations. If unavoidable, dose increases may be considered under close physician supervision.
Paediatric use: The safety and efficacy of Osicent in children and adolescents have not been established. No data are currently available.
Monitoring and Dosage Adjustments
Regular monitoring is essential during Osicent treatment. Your healthcare provider will monitor for interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, assessing for new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, or fever. Monitoring also includes left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at baseline and every 3 months, ECG monitoring for QTc prolongation in patients with risk factors, eye symptoms suggestive of keratitis, and periodic blood counts and liver function tests. The most commonly observed side effects requiring dose reduction or interruption include QTc prolongation and neutropenia. Report any breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations, visual changes, or eye irritation to your doctor immediately.
Drug Interactions and Important Information
Avoid concomitant use of Osicent with strong CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and St. John’s Wort, as these significantly reduce Osimertinib plasma exposure and may reduce efficacy. Caution is advised with drugs that are sensitive substrates of BCRP or P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as Osimertinib may alter their exposure. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are not expected to meaningfully alter Osimertinib exposure based on population data.
Use caution when combining Osicent with other medicines known to prolong the QTc interval. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 2 months (women) or 4 months (men) after the final dose. Always inform your physician of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting Osicent.
Side Effects and Precautions
|
Common Side Effects Diarrhoea (reported in approximately 42% of patients) Rash (approximately 41%) and dry skin (approximately 31%) Nail toxicity, or paronychia (approximately 25%) Stomatitis (mouth inflammation) Fatigue Decreased appetite Nausea and constipation |
Serious Warnings and Precautions Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Withhold and permanently discontinue if confirmed. QTc interval prolongation, which may lead to life-threatening arrhythmia. Requires ECG and electrolyte monitoring. Cardiomyopathy with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Requires baseline and 3-monthly LVEF assessment. Keratitis and other eye toxicities. Report eye pain, redness, or visual disturbance promptly. Neutropenia, one of the most common reasons for dose reduction or interruption. Embryo-foetal toxicity. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. |
Who Should Use Osicent (Osimertinib)?
Osicent is suitable for adult patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer whose tumours carry EGFR exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R mutations, or the T790M resistance mutation, confirmed by an approved EGFR mutation test on tissue or blood (liquid biopsy). It is prescribed by medical oncologists and thoracic oncology specialists experienced in biomarker-guided cancer therapy. A thorough medical assessment including EGFR mutation testing, cardiac evaluation (ECG and LVEF), and liver function is required before initiating treatment.
