There is a high chance that we will see at least the same outcome as we do starting with another inhibitor — such as Tarceva (erlotinib), Iressa (gefitinib) or Gilotrif (afatinib) — followed by Tagrisso if you develop the T790M mutation. If, in addition, we don’t have the side effect of a rash, then we have a clear winner. This is based on the numbers that we have. It looks very promising, but we have seen promising before and it isn’t always confirmed. We have to be cautious. We will be disappointed if Tagrisso does not become the first-line choice.

Tagrisso (osimertinib, AZD9291) 80mg once-daily tablet is the first medicine indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally-advanced or metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC.
does it mean it also could be used without beingT790M positive?
