We have been encouraged by the CRICKET study, E-Rechallenge trial, and some other retrospective study data supporting the EGFRi rechallenge in patients with negative RAS/BRAF by ctDNA test. This has been used routinely in our clinic. Here is a nice review article that summarized the evidence we have...
