Tagrix 80 mg is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that binds to certain mutant forms of EGFR (T790M, L858R, and exon 19 deletions) that predominate in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors following treatment with first-line EGFR-TKIs. As a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Tagrix 80 mg is specific for the gate-keeper T790M mutation which increases ATP binding activity to EGFR and results in poor prognosis for late-stage disease. Furthermore, Tagrix 80 mg has been shown to spare wild-type EGFR during therapy, reducing non-specific binding and limiting toxicity.
Common side effects are Interstitial Lung Disease or Pneumonitis, QTc Interval Prolongation, Cardiomyopathy, Keratitis
The recommended dose of Tagrix 80 mg is 80 mg once a day until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tagrix 80 mg can be taken with or without food. If a dose of Tagrix 80 mg is missed, do not make up the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled.
Administration To Patients Who Have Difficulty Swallowing Solids: Disperse tablet in only 60 ml (2 ounces) of non-carbonated water. Stir until the tablet is dispersed into small pieces (the tablet will not completely dissolve) and swallow immediately. Do not crush, heat, or ultrasonicate during preparation. Rinse the container with 120 ml to 240 ml (4 to 8 ounces of) water and immediately drink.If administration via a nasogastric tube is required, disperse the tablet as above in 15 ml of non-carbonated water, and then use an additional 15 ml of water to transfer any residues to the syringe. The resulting 30 ml liquid should be administered as per the nasogastric tube instructions with appropriate water flushes (approximately 30 ml).
Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: If concurrent use is unavoidable, increase Tagrix 80 mg dosage to 160 mg daily when coadministered with a potent CYP3A inducer. Resume Tagrix 80 mg at 80 mg 3 weeks after discontinuation of the potent CYP3A4 inducer
