Osimertinib, a third-generation (3G) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is now considered the standard of care for the first-line (1L) treatment of advanced
EGFR
+ NSCLC due to statistically significant improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with first-generation (1G) treatment from the FLAURA trial. Recently two other 3G EGFR TKIs (aumolertinib and furmonertinib) have been approved in China for treatment of
EGFR
T790M+ NSCLC. Randomized Phase 3 trials of these two 3G EGFR TKIs have also demonstrated PFS over gefitinib respectively. Among these two Chinese home-grown, 3G EGFR TKIs, furmonertinib seems to most closely resemble osimertinib in terms of dosing regimen, efficacy and adverse events profile. In this article, we reviewed the clinical activity and adverse events of furmonertinib at 80 mg daily (approved dose), potential usage of 160 mg daily for CNS metastasis in
EGFR
+ NSCLC, and usage of 160 mg or 240 mg daily in
EGFR
exon20 insertion positive (
EGFRex20ins
+) NSCLC patients.
