Mechanism of Action: Third-generation, oral, irreversible, selective  epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

AZD-9291 Formula: C28H33N7O2 
AZD9291, a third-generation orally irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, is under development by British drug maker AstraZeneca for the treatment of patients with metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death in the world while non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts approx. 85% of all lung cancer diagnosis. Approximately 50% of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who develop resistance to inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have acquired a second mutation, T790M. There are currently no approved treatments for patients who develop a T790 mutation.
