Overview

This is a multicenter, open label, Phase I/IIB study investigating the efficacy and safety of treatment with dacomitinib plus anlotinib as first-line therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 21-L858R mutations. This study comprises two parts: 1. A dose escalation Phase I study to determine the recommended phase II dose. 2. a multi-center, open label, randomized controlled, Phase IIB study.

             arrhythmia requiring medication;
          9. A history of other diseases, or metabolic dysfunction, or physical examination or
             laboratory results suggestive of a disease or condition that precludes the use of an
             investigational drug, or may affect the interpretation of the study results, or expose
             the patient to a high risk of treatment complications;
