  2. For women younger than 50 years old, if the amenorrhea is 12 months or more after stopping all exogenous hormone treatments, and the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are within the laboratory postmenopausal reference value range, also It can be considered postmenopausal.

• At the beginning of the study treatment, there were unresponsive residual toxicity from previous treatment that was greater than CTCAE grade 3, except for hair loss.

• Meet any of the following cardiac examination results:

  1. The average value of QT interval (QTcF) corrected by Fridericia's formula obtained from 3 ECG examinations at rest> 470 msec;
  2. Resting ECG suggests that there are various clinically significant rhythms, conduction or ECG morphological abnormalities that are judged by the investigator (such as complete left bundle branch block, 3 degree atrioventricular block, 2 degree atrium Ventricular block and PR interval> 250 msec, etc.);
  3. There are any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or arrhythmia events, such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death or prolonged QT of immediate family members under 40 Any concomitant drugs in the interval;
  4. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%.

• Insufficient bone marrow reserve or organ function, reaching any one of the following laboratory limits (no corrective treatment within 1 week before laboratory examination of blood draw):

  1. Absolute neutrophil count <1.5×109 / L; Platelet count <100×109 / L; Hemoglobin <90 g/L (<9 g/dL);
  2. Liver function: alanine aminotransferase > 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); Aspartate aminotransferase > 3uln; Total bilirubin > 1.5uln; Serum albumin (ALB) < 28 g / L.
  3. Renal function: creatinine > 1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance < 50ml / min (calculated by Cockcroft Gault formula). Only when creatinine ≥ 1.5 ULN, it is necessary to confirm creatinine clearance.

• Have a history of hypersensitivity to any active or inactive ingredients of almonertinib or to drugs with similar chemical structure to almonertinib or the same class of almonertinib.
• Any serious or uncontrolled eye disease (especially severe dry eye syndrome, dry keratoconjunctivitis, severe exposure keratitis or other diseases that may increase epithelial damage) may increase the safety of the patient by the doctor's judgment Sexual risk; or those with eye abnormalities that require surgery or are expected to require surgical treatment during the study period.

• Patients with previous autoimmune diseases or undergoing immunomodulatory treatment.
• Subjects who may have poor compliance with the study procedures and requirements at the judgment of the investigator, such as those who have a clear history of neurological or mental disorders (including epilepsy or dementia) in the past, and those who currently suffer from mental disorders.
• Patients who need long-term systemic corticosteroids. Patients with COPD and asthma requiring intermittent use of bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, or local injection of corticosteroids can be enrolled.
• Symptomatic central nervous system metastasis. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastases or brain metastases whose symptoms are stable after treatment can participate in this study as long as they meet all the following criteria: there are measurable lesions outside the central nervous system; No midbrain, pons, cerebellum, meninges, medulla oblongata or spinal cord metastasis; Maintain clinical stability for at least 2 weeks; Hormone therapy was stopped 3 days before the first dose of study drug.
• Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (i.e., HIV 1 / 2 antibody positive).

  1. HBV viral load before the first administration was < 1000 copies / ml (200 IU / ml), and the subject should receive anti HBV treatment during the whole study chemotherapy drug treatment period to avoid virus reactivation;
  2. For subjects with anti HBC (+), HBsAg (-), anti HBS (-) and HBV viral load (-), preventive anti HBV treatment is not required, but viral reactivation needs to be closely monitored..
