Hi Nicolaidk,

That's an easy question. Tagrisso IS the next-generation treatment!!! The FDA granted regular approval in 2017. In 2018, it was still so new that I had chemo and radiation after my upper right lobectomy. I didn't start taking Tagrisso until after it metastasized to my brain in 2020.

What's the reason that you're looking for something else? I won't say something better, because Tagrisso could be a cure, for all we know at this point.

Hi Matthew,
Thank you so much for answering me and hope you are doing ok, I think Tagrisso is absolutely great and my wife consider herself lucky to have the opportunity to get Tagrisso. I’m only checking if you or anyone else know if there will be a “Tagrisso 2.0” as I know there is a risk that at some point Tagrisso doesn’t work anymore and the cancer cells stop responding to the treatment after a while. So I’m just looking for a plan B in case this happens.
All the best,
