BACKGROUND: The NEJ026 Phase 3 study demonstrated that erlotinib and bevacizumab (BE)-treated NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations had significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) than those treated with erlotinib alone (E). This study included a prospective analysis of the relationship between the mutational status of EGFR in plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and the efficacy of TKI monotherapy or...
