Limertinib (Aoyixin) is an orally available, third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which has been developed for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In clinical trials, limertinib demonstrated efficacy in patients who are positive for the T790M gatekeeper mutation. Limertinib received its first approval for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with disease progression following treatment with an EGFR TKI and are positive for the EGFR T790M mutation in China in January 2025. In April 2025, limertinib was also approved in China for first-line treatment for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harbouring EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of limertinib leading to this first approval.
期刊介绍:
Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
