The ratio of T790M to EGFR-activating mutation predicts response of osimertinib in 1st or 2nd generation EGFR-TKI-refractory NSCLC

Abstract The most frequent mechanism of resistance after 1st/2nd-generation (G) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is secondary point mutation Thr790Met (T790M) in EGFR. Afatinib followed by osimertinib (Afa group) may provide better outcomes for T790M-positive...
