Known acquired mechanisms of resistance were noted in all the cases. The sub-clones were noted to be polyclonal, and the number of clones varied over time. Some clones disappeared over time during non-EGFR-based therapy (EGFR holiday such as KRAS clones in patient 2, BRAF clones in patient 3, and EGFR clones in patient 4.
