Osimertinib and dacomitinib are approved as first-line treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC but resistance can arise. Here, the authors use a computational model to identify an optimal dosing schedule for osimertinib and dacomitinib combination therapy that was confirmed tolerable and effective in an ongoing phase I clinical trial.
