Brief summary
This is a single arm phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combination of gefitinib and doublet chemotherapy or antiangiogenesis in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR activating mutation, accompanied with Bim deletion or low activating EGFR mutation abundance.
Detailed description
BIM deletion polymorphism and low EGFR mutation abundance were poor clinical response markers to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC patients who had EGFR mutations.This is a phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of combination treatment for patients harboring risk factors. Advanced EGFR mutated NSCLC Patients with Bim deletion or EGFR low mutation abundance were randomizely divided into three treatment groups: A:Gefitinib 250mg Qd B:Gefitinib 250mg Qd combined with doublet chemotherapy: Pemetrexed (500mg/m²day 1 intravenously) plus carboplatin (AUC=5,day 1,intravenously) every 21 days, Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² days 1, day8, intravenously) plus carboplatin (AUC=5,day 1,intravenously) every 21 days C:Gefitinib 250mg Qd combined with bevacizumab 7.5mg/kg intravenously per 21 days.

Inclusion criteria
* Histologically documented, locally advanced or recurrent (stage IIIb and not amenable to combined modality treatment) or metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer, anti-cancer treatment naiive * EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R. * Bim deletion by realtime PCR, or low abundance for EGFR mutation, for 19Del less than 4.9%, for L858R less than 9.5%. * ECOG performance status of ≤ 1. * Patients must have measurable disease according to the RECIST (version 1.1) criteria. * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks * Written (signed) informed Consent to participate in the study. * Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria: Liver function: SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN in the absence of liver metastases or up to 5 X ULN in case of liver metastases. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5ULN. Bone marrow function: Granulocyte count ≥ 1,500/mm3 and platelet count ≥100,000/mm3 and hemoglobin ≥90g/dl. Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min. (based on modified Cockcroft-Gault formula). * For all females of childbearing potential a negative serum/urine pregnancy test must be obtained within 48 hours before enrollment. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with prior chemotherapy or systemic anti-cancer therapy including target therapy targeting HER family members (such as erlotinib, gefitinib, cetuximab, trastuzumab, etc). Previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment for non-metastatic disease is permitted if completed ≥ 6 months before the enrollments. * Patients with history of any other malignancies within 5 years (except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin cancer). * Patients who have brain metastasis or spinal cord compression. It is permitted if the patient has been treated with surgery and/or radiation with evidence of stable disease for at least 4 weeks. * Patients who are at risk (in the investigator's opinion) of transmitting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through blood or other body fluids. * lactating women * Sexually active males and females (of childbearing potential) unwilling to practice contraception during the study. * Unwilling to write informed consent to participate in the study or unwilling to receive follow-up * Tumor invade big vessels or close to big vessels (less than 5mm) * Obvious cavity or necrosis formed in the tumor, Uncontrolled hypertension, Myocardial ischemia or infarction more than stage II, cardiac insufficiency. Abnormal coagulation (INR\>1.5 or PT\>ULN+4, or APTT\>1.5 ULN), bleeding tendency or receiving coagulation therapy * Hemoptysis, more than 2.5ml daily * Thrombosis in 12 months, including pulmonary thrombosis, stoke, or deep venous thrombosis. * Unhealed bone fracture or wound for long time
