Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Avitinib is an oral, potent, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor selective for the EGFR T790 M mutation. We report the safety, intra-/extracranial efficacy, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration rate of avitinib (NCT02330367).
