Study conduct
P-gp and BCRP substrate assessments were conducted following established practices and
standard operating procedures of Absorption Systems LP. Mouse PK studies were
conducted to AstraZeneca Research and Development (R&D) General Laboratory
Standards. The mouse brain metastases xenograft study was approved by the Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee, and conducted in compliance with AstraZeneca Global
Standards and local regulatory requirements. The rat quantitative whole body
autoradiography study was conducted to the Development Principles of Good Laboratory
Practice. All human cell lines were cultured in vitro for implantation at specific cell inocula
following local standard protocols. The PET studies were approved by the Animal Research
Ethical Committee of the Northern Stockholm Region and were performed according to the
guidelines for planning, conduction, and documenting experimental research of the
Karolinska Institutet, and guidelines on the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (41). The
study was also compliant with AstraZeneca policies on Bioethics and Good Statistical
Practice in animal work, and the EU Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used
for scientific purposes. Strain information for animal studies can be found in Supplementary
Table S2.

Radiosynthesis
[3H]Osimertinib synthesis
Preparation of N1-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-N4-(4-(6-iodo-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl) pyrimidin-
2-yl)-5-methoxy-N1-methylbenzene-1,2,4-triamine

2-yl)benzene-1,2,4-triamine (91 mg, 0.20 mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL)
and N-iodosuccinimide (55.1 mg, 0.25 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at
room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated sodium
hydrogen carbonate (10 mL) and the product was extracted with dichloromethane

concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by reverse phase chromatography by
elution with 10–90 % acetonitrile in ammonia solution (10 mM). The required fractions were
combined and evaporated to give N1-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-N4-(4-(6-iodo-1-methyl-1H-
indol-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl)-5-methoxy-N1-methylbenzene-1,2,4-triamine (15 mg, 13 %) as a

Cynomolgus monkey PET micro-dosing data analysis
Magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the monkey brains had been previously obtained
using a 1.5 T General Electric Signa (GE, Milwaukee, WI, USA) system (2). The region of
interest (ROI) for the whole brain was manually delineated in T1-weighted MRIs using an in-
house image analysis software (3). Brain MRIs were co-registered to the averaged brain
9
Osimertinib in models of EGFR-mutant NSCLC brain metastases
PET images using SPM5 (Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, UK). Time-
activity curves were generated by applying the pooled brain ROI to PET images using the
affine transformation matrix acquired from co-registration of the MRI. The radioactivity
concentration was calculated for each sequential frame, corrected for radioactive decay, and
plotted versus time. The radioactivity concentration in the ROI for the whole brain was
multiplied with the whole brain ROI volume, divided by the radioactivity injected, and
multiplied by 100 to obtain the percentage of radioactivity in brain. Time-activity curves for
radioactivity in brain were corrected for radioactivity in the cerebral blood using the
radioactivity concentrations obtained from arterial blood and assuming that the cerebral
blood volume is 5% of the total brain volume (4, 5). The area under the curve for brain as
well as the blood radioactivity concentration-time curve between 0 and 90 minutes after
injection were calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule.
Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling
The pharmacokinetics of parent and active metabolite are described by a semi-physiological
compartmental model. The important assumptions are that the parent is cleared solely in the
liver and that the fraction converted to metabolite is constant across different routes of
dosing.
The reversible interaction between the molecule and receptor is characterised by binding
affinity, represented by CPU50 and CMU50 for free parent and metabolite respectively. The
natural turnover and re-synthesis of receptor is represented by Krec and the rate of drug
induced de-activation is described by Kbind

Xenografted tumours are assumed to spherical and be composed of a cycling compartment

(Ca). The cycling compartment is assumed to increase in size at a rate proportional (Kgrow) to
the size of the compartment.

To maintain the distance allowed (Rdiff) of the proliferating compartment from the edge of the
tumour, cells are transferred (JTransfer) between the proliferating and non-proliferating
compartments as the tumour grows of shrinks at a rate proportional to the difference
between the current core volume (Vcore) and the size required for the correctly sized
proliferating compartment (Vcore,Target).

On reduction of pEGFR, the rate of cell death is assumed to increase in the tumour and is
proportional to pEGFR reduction. The rate of cell death is assumed to be independent of the
time pEGFR is reduced, however the resulting efficacy is an integral of the rate of cell death
and so duration of pEGFR will be important for efficacy.
f kill (pEGFR )=Emax .( n[1−pEGFR ]−1n−1 )
This model was used to find the dose and time dependency of pharmacokinetics,
pharmacodynamics and efficacy in a range of subcutaneous xenografted mouse models
including PC9. By taking into account the contributions of parent and metabolite to efficacy
we can then understand the implications of the observed brain distribution of both molecules.
The relationship between human osimertinib and AZ5104 PK, and the preclinical PKPD
activity relationship, were interrogated with respect to changing PK profiles in the mouse.
The mouse PKPD model was simulated for a range of fixed daily doses, with increasing
11
Osimertinib in models of EGFR-mutant NSCLC brain metastases
dosing frequency of up to 10 times per day. Increasing dosing frequency results in a flatter
PK profile, more similar to human. It was concluded that a flatter PK profile was, for the
same daily dose, at least as effective as a short half-life profile, despite the maximum
concentrations simulated being lower. Adjusting parent clearance and rate of absorption,
and placing variability on both parent (100%) and metabolite (10%) clearance, were
sufficient to describe the observed PK observed in patients. The model was adjusted to
predict efficacy in brain metastases based on an estimation of free brain exposure of
osimertinib with AZ5104 being excluded from the brain.
Modeling and simulation were carried out in ACSLX v2.5.0.6 on a Lenovo S20 workstation.
Data were analyzed sequentially, with the PK being analyzed prior to tumor growth data.

Papp and recovery are expressed as mean value ± standard deviation from seven monolayers for digoxin, eight monolayers for atenolol, minoxidil, osimertinib, and rociletinib, and two monolayers for afatinib.
Caco2, colon carcinoma; NC, not calculable (the concentrations of some receiver samples were below the lower limit of quantification); Papp, apparent permeability coefficient.
