Read this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you.

• Keep this leaflet, as you may need to read it again.
• If you have any questions, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
• This medicine has been prescribed for you only. Do not give it to others even if they have similar symptoms to you, as it may harm them.
• If you experience any side effects, consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse, even if they are not listed in this leaflet. See section 4.

OSIMERTINIB is the active ingredient in TAGRISSO, which belongs to a group of medicines calledtyrosine kinase inhibitors, used to treat cancer. TAGRISSO is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called "non-small cell lung cancer". It is likely that your cancer will respond to treatment with TAGRISSO if a test has shown that your cancer has certain changes (mutations) in a gene called “EGFR” (epidermal growth factor receptor).

TAGRISSO in monotherapy can be prescribed:

• afterthe complete removal of your cancer as adjuvant post-surgical treatment

or

• for a cancer that cannot be removed (resected) by surgery and has responded or stabilized after treatment with chemotherapy and radiation

or

• as the first medication you receive for your cancer that has spread to other parts of the body

or

• in certain circumstances, if you have previously received treatment for your cancer with other tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

TAGRISSO can be prescribed in combination with other cancer medications, such as:

• pemetrexedand a platinum-based chemotherapy, as the first medication you receive for your cancer that has spread to other parts of the body

When TAGRISSO is administered in combination with other cancer medications, it is essential that you also read the leaflet for these other medications. If you have any questions about these medications, consult your doctor.

How TAGRISSO works

TAGRISSO acts by blocking the EGFR and may help your non-small cell lung cancer stop growing or slow its growth. It may also help reduce the size of the tumor and prevent the tumor from recurring after surgical removal.

• If you are receiving TAGRISSO after the complete removal of your cancer, it means that your cancer contained defects in the EGFR gene, "exon 19 deletion" or "exon 21 substitution mutation".

• If you are receiving TAGRISSO for a cancer that cannot be removed (resected) by surgery and has responded or stabilized after treatment with chemotherapy and radiation, it means that your cancer contains defects in the EGFR gene, “exon 19 deletion” or “exon 21 substitution mutation”.

• If TAGRISSO is the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor you are taking, this means that your cancer contains defects in the EGFR gene called “exon 19 deletion” or “exon 21 substitution mutation”.

• If your cancer has progressed while being treated with another tyrosine kinase inhibitor, this means that your cancer contains a defective gene called “T790M”. Due to this defect, it is possible that other tyrosine kinase inhibitors may no longer work.

If you have any doubts about how this medication works, or why you have been prescribed this medication, consult your doctor.

Do not take TAGRISSO if:

• You are allergic (hypersensitive) to osimertinib or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).
• You are taking St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum).

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking TAGRISSO if you are unsure.

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Severe side effects

Inform your doctor immediately if you experience the following severe side effect (see also section 2):

• Sudden difficulty breathing accompanied by cough or fever - this may be a sign of lung inflammation (a condition called "interstitial lung disease"). Most cases can be treated, but some have been fatal. Your doctor may want to discontinue treatment with TAGRISSO if you experience this side effect. This is a common side effect: it may affect up to 1 in 10 people.
• Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, which may appear as red spots or circular patches, often with central blisters on the trunk, skin peeling, mouth ulcers, throat, nose, genital, and eye ulcers, and may be preceded by fever and flu-like symptoms. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is rare: it may affect up to 1 in 100,000 people. The frequency of toxic epidermal necrolysis cannot be determined since only cases have been reported since the marketing of TAGRISSO.
• Changes in heart electrical activity (QTc prolongation), such as rapid or irregular heartbeats, dizziness, confusion, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. This side effect is common: it may affect up to 1 in 10 people.
• If you notice watery eyes, light sensitivity, eye pain, redness of the eyes, or changes in vision. This side effect is infrequent: it may affect up to 1 in 100 people.
• A blood disorder called aplastic anemia, in which the bone marrow stops producing new blood cells–the signs that suggest this blood disorder may include persistent fever, bruising or bleeding more easily, increased fatigue, and a decrease in your ability to fight infections. This side effect is rare: it may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people.
• A condition in which the heart does not pump blood out of the heart as well as it should, which could cause difficulty breathing, fatigue, and swelling of the ankles (suggestive of heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction decreased).

Inform your doctor immediately if you notice the severe side effect mentioned above.
