Therapy for Stage IV Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Driver Alterations
Treatment
Note: unless otherwise listed, recommendations apply to patients with a performance status of 0–2.
EGFR First-line
Recommendation 1.1
For patients with a sensitizing (L858R/exon 19 deletion, with or without a concomitant T790M mutation) EGFR mutation with stage IV NSCLC and a performance status of 0–2 who have not had previous systemic therapy, clinicians should offer osimertinib monotherapy. ( EB , B , H , S )
Qualifying Statement: Although Recommendation 1.1 addresses many patients in the target population, the guideline manuscript presents additional options that may be reasonable, based on the evidence reviewed. This statement applies to all recommendations with the word “should.” In addition, use of osimertinib in patients previously treated with adjuvant or consolidation tyrosine kinase inhibitors is not part of this guideline.
