  1. Postmenopausal defined as age more than 50 years and amenorrheic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments.
  2. Women under 50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more, following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments, and with luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range for the laboratory.
  3. Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy, but not by tubal ligation.

  1. Prior treatment with an EGFR TKI.
  2. Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug.

• Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension or active bleeding diatheses, which, in the Investigator's opinion, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial OR which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol such as active infection. Screening for chronic conditions is not required.
• Refractory nausea, vomiting, or chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the study drug, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of Almonertinib.

• Any of the following cardiac criteria:

  3. Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events, such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first degree relatives or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval.
  4. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%.
• Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease.

• Inadequate bone marrow reserve or organ function, as demonstrated by any of the following laboratory values:

  1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1.5×109 / L
  2. Platelet count <100×109 / L

  4. Alanine aminotransferase > 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) if no demonstrable liver metastases or > 5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases.
  5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.5 × ULN if no demonstrable liver metastases or > 5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases.
  6. Total bilirubin (TBL) > 1.5 × ULN if no liver metastases or > 3 × ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's Syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases.
  7. Creatinine > 1.5 × ULN concurrent with creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min (measured or calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation); confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required when creatinine is > 1.5 × ULN.
• Women who are breastfeeding or have a positive urine or serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit.
• History of hypersensitivity to any active or inactive ingredient of Almonertinib or to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to Almonertinib.

Assess the anti-tumor activity: iORR	Intracranial Objective response rate (iORR)	From baseline, then every 6 weeks, until disease progression or discontinuation from study. ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who have at least 1 response of CR or PR prior to any evidence of progression assessed up to 24 months.
