25 , 27 , 47 One study involving 83 patients with activating EGFR mutations showed that patients with an increasing trend for T790M quantity from pretreatment to posttreatment of EGFR-TKIs had superior PFS and OS, compared to patients with a decreasing trend of T790M quantity. 44 , 48 Thanks to recent advances in the era of third-generation EGFR-TKIs such as osimertinib, it is better understood that patients with acquired T790M mutation will benefit more from osimertinib treatment than patients without T790M mutation.

These deaths were evenly distributed over the year and a decreasing trend over the study periods was observed (Figs.
