Inclusion criteria： 1. Patients had to voluntarily join the study and give written informed consent for the study 2. Histologically documented, unresectable, inoperable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic stage IIIB or IV adenocarcinoma. 3.

Other types of non-small cell lung cancer except adenocarcinoma and Small cell lung cancer（including patients with mixed small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer）； 2. Evidence of other types of non-small cell lung cancer except adenocarcinoma, small cell, carcinoid, or mixed small cell/non-small cell histology 3. EGFR wild-type patients, or patients with rare EGFR mutations or complex EGFR mutations 4. Patients achieved the dramatic progression after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. The criteria of dramatic progression 5. Patients achieved the local progression after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. The criteria of local progression 6. Patients achieved acquired EGFR-T790M mutation assessed by ARMS, next-generation sequencing (NGS) or droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy 7. Previously (within 5 years) or presently suffering from other malignancies 8. A in situ，non-melanoma skin cancers and superficial bladder cancer 9. Unstable systemic disease 10. History of other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications 11. Gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for intravenous (IV) alimentation, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption 12.
