Confirmed as locally advanced and / or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by cytology or histology, the diagnosis should be completed at least 6 months after the end of chemotherapy if adjuvant chemotherapy and / or neoadjuvant chemotherapy received (diagnosis based on sputum smear is not accepted) ; 3. Presence of EGFR activating mutations and previously disease progression to Osimertinib (previously treated with 1st / 2nd generation EGFR-TKI or not)； 4. At least one target lesion that has accurate measurement by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) (conventional CT≥20 mm or spiral CT≥10 mm) in at least 1 direction; 5. Life expectancy is at least 3 months; 6. ECOG PS Scoring: 0~1 point; 8. The main organs function are normally, the following criteria are met:

Blood routine examination criteria (no blood transfusion and blood products within 14 days, no correction by G-CSF and other hematopoietic stimuli):
