Regimen

FDA-recommended dose
Study Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Mok et al. 2016 (AURA3) Phase III (E-switch-ooc) 1. Carboplatin & Pemetrexed
2. Cisplatin & Pemetrexed
Seems to have superior ORR (*)
Goss et al. 2018 (AURA extension; AURA2) Phase II
Soria et al. 2017 (FLAURA) Phase III (E-switch-ic) 1. Erlotinib
2. Gefitinib
Seems to have superior PFS (*)

Patients enrolled in AURA3 had locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with progression after first-line EGFR TKI therapy, and were required to have presence of an EGFR p.T790M mutation. Efficacy reported for AURA3 is based on the 2018 subgroup analysis. Efficacy reported for FLAURA is based on the 2018 subgroup analysis.
