Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Concordance
Up to 6 months

To evaluate concordance of T790M plasma mutation testing between the Cobas test and each of other platforms: Super-ARMS, digital PCR or NGS.

PFS Using Investigator Assessments According to RECIST v1.1
The time from first dose of AZD9291 in this study until the date of disease progression as recorded in CRF or death (by any cause in the absence of progression), assessed up to 18 months

To assess the efficacy of AZD9291 monotherapy by assessment of PFS in adult patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, who have received prior EGFR- TKI therapy and are T790M mutation positive detected by any one of the four plasma testing platforms. PFS was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1(RECIST v1.1).

Overall Survival (OS)
From the date of first dose of Osimertinib until the date of death (due to any cause) or last participant contact [up to 43 months]

OS was defined as the time, in months from the date of first dose of Osimertinib until death due to any cause, or at last documented contact with participant status "alive" (in this study any participants alive at study discontinuation, or lost to follow-up was considered being censored at study discontinuation date or at the last known date participant was alive). OS was summarized using a Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimate of the median time to death or censoring together with their 95% confidence intervals.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
From screening to progression follow-up [every 6 weeks +/- 1 week] relative to the date of enrolment until the end of study [up to 43 months]

Safety assessment of Osimertinib was analyzed by evaluating AEs and SAEs.
