Real-World Outcomes of T790M Mutation Testing and Sequential Osimertinib in EGFR-Positive Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Revisited Strategy

Targeted Oncology |

Background <p>Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven non-small cell lung cancer (eLC) is a leading cause of death. The FLAURA study showed that upfront osimertinib (U-OSI) led to better overall survival (OS) than gefitinib or erlotinib, regardless of T790M status in advanced disease. However, if sequenced optimally, sequential OSI (S-OSI) in T790M-positive patients after first- or second-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (F-S-EGFR-TKI)…
