Non-Proprietary Name: Osimertinib 

Company: AstraZeneca 

First Approved: US (Nov 13, 2015), EU (Feb 1, 2016)  

Total Revenue: $6.58B  

Indications Approved: EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including T790M mutation, first-line metastatic EGFR exon 19 deletion/exon 21 L858R, adjuvant therapy after tumor resection, combination with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic setting 

  • Tagrisso is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) specifically engineered to target both sensitizing EGFR mutations and the T790M resistance mutation, while minimizing impact on wild-type EGFR 
  • By irreversibly binding to mutant EGFR (including T790M), Tagrisso shuts down key cancer-driving signalling pathways, triggering tumor cell apoptosis and promoting tumor regression in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. In FY 2024, Tagrisso delivered strong performance with a 13.64% revenue increase, fueled by robust global demand across adjuvant and first-line treatment settings 
  • Further strengthening its clinical reach, the US FDA granted approval in Sep’24 for Tagrisso in patients with unresectable, Stage III EGFR-mutated lung cancer, expanding its role across earlier stages of disease management 

19. Ocrevus 

Proprietary Name: Ocrevus

Indications Approved: Multiple Sclerosis 

  • Ocrevus is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed to treat both relapsing and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) 
  • The therapy works through antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-mediated lysis, effectively depleting harmful B cells. In 2024, Ocrevus generated slightly lower revenue, declining 1.58% year over year. While the treatment continued to see growth in CHF, overall sales dipped in USD primarily due to currency fluctuations 
  • Adding to its clinical momentum, the US FDA approved Ocrevus Zunovo, a twice-yearly, 10-minute injection option in Sep’24, offering patients a faster and more convenient administration method for managing multiple sclerosis 

18. Farxiga/Forxiga

  • Marketed as Farxiga in the US and Forxiga in the EU, dapagliflozin is a once-daily oral therapy approved for type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease 
  • Farxiga works by selectively and reversibly inhibiting the SGLT-2 transporter in the kidney’s proximal tubule. This reduces glucose reabsorption and promotes urinary glucose excretion, ultimately helping patients achieve better glycemic control while also offering proven cardiovascular and renal benefits. In 2024, Farxiga/Forxiga sales jumped by 28.35% compared to 2023, fueled by strong demand in heart failure and CKD, as healthcare providers increasingly adopt SGLT-2 inhibitors as foundational therapy across multiple conditions 
  • Adding to its momentum, in Jun’24, the US FDA approved Farxiga for pediatric type 2 diabetes, expanding its use to younger patients who face limited treatment options 

17. Entresto 

Proprietary Name: Entresto 

Non-Proprietary Name: Sacubitril/Valsartan

  • Entresto, a combination of sacubitril and valsartan, is an angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) approved for treating both adult and pediatric heart failure. It has become a key therapy in improving outcomes for patients with chronic heart failure 
  • The drug works through a dual mechanism: LBQ657, the active metabolite of sacubitril, blocks neprilysin (NEP), while valsartan inhibits the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor. Together, these actions help reduce strain on the heart, improve blood flow, and support better long-term cardiac function. In 2024, Entresto delivered strong growth, with revenue increasing 29.68% compared with 2023, driven largely by expanded adoption in Europe and the United States 
  • In Mar’24, Novartis received approval in Japan for Entresto Granular Tablets for Pediatric Use, offering a new formulation designed specifically for children with chronic heart failure (CHF)
