This phase II MATCH treatment trial evaluates the effectiveness of osimertinib (AZD9291) in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes called EGFR mutations. Osimertinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of mutant forms of the EGFR protein, which play a key role in tumor cell growth. Osimertinib may cause tumor cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR-overexpressing tumor cells, thereby stopping or slowing the spread of tumor cells.
