    Background:
    The prevalence of EGFR mutation has been well elucidated in different ethnicities. Recently, increasing attention has been given to dual EGFR mutations. However, less attention has been invested in dual in cis EGFR mutations. Until now, none of retrospective or prospective research has focused on dual in cis EGFR mutations except case reports.
    
    Method:
    In this real world study, we performed capture-based ultra-deep targeted sequencing on circulating tumor DNA to identify and investigate the prevalence and genotype distribution of dual in cis EGFR mutations in 3,000 Chinese advanced NSCLC patients. This cohort consisted of both treatment-naïve and previously treated patients. Ten milliliter of peripheral blood was collected from every patient and a minimum of 50ng of ctDNA was needed for library construction. The panel covered critical exons and introns of 168 genes (160kb of human genomic regions).
    
    Result:
    1,266 patients harbored EGFR mutant in this cohort; among them, 501 patients harbored 19 deletions, 489 harbored L858R, and the remaining harbored other EGFR mutations. We identified 1.5% patients (19/1,266) harboring dual in cis EGFR mutations. Among them 37% (7/19）carried two rare EGFR mutations and the remaining 63% (12/19) carried EGFR L858R in combination with a rare mutation. No patient carried EGFR 19 del in combination with other rare mutations was identified in this cohort, suggesting EGFR 19del is a stronger oncogenic driver than EGFR L858R (p=0.000197, Fisher’s exact test). For patients carried two rare mutations, both mutations were either located on exon 18 or exon 21. The allelic fractions (AF) of both mutations were similar. The AF of either EGFR mutations was the maximum AF in all patients, demonstrating the clones harboring EGFR mutations were major clones. Interestingly, 1 patient carried additional KRAS mutation and 2 patients had EGFR amplification.
    
    Conclusion:
    In cis dual EGFR mutation was rare (1.5%) in EGFR mutant Chinese advanced NSCLC patients. EGFR L858R was significantly more likely to couple with a rare in cis dual mutation than 19 del. EGFR 19del might be a stronger oncogenic driver than EGFR L858R.
