4. Patients had histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy.
5. The tumour harbours one of the 2 common EGFR mutations known to be associated with EGFR-TKI sensitivity (Ex19del, L858R).
6. Tumour tissue sample in a quantity sufficient to allow for central analysis of EGFR mutation status.
7. Patients must be treatment-naïve for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and eligible to receive first-line treatment with gefitinib or erlotinib as selected by the participating centre. Prior adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy is permitted (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational agents) if the disease has no progression during one year.
8. At least one measurable lesion by CT or MRI. The measureable lesion should receive no local treatments (i.e., radiotherapy) or not used for screening biopsies (If there is only one target lesion that must be biopsied, baseline tumor evaluation is required at least 14 days after screening biopsy) and can be accurately measured at baseline with the longest diameter greater than 10 mm at baseline (if it is a lymph node, short diameter greater than 15 mm is required). If the lesions located at the regions which were previously treated are confirmed to progress, they can be chosen as lesion according to RECIST Version 1.1
9. Females who have fertility potential before menopause should have a pregnancy test in the time period of 7 days prior to start of dosing, should not be breast feeding and must have a negative pregnancy test (blood test or urinalysis) prior to start of dosing; Males and females of child-bearing age must take adequate contraceptive measures within 3 months after signing the informed consent of the study to the last drug treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Treatment with any of the following:
* Prior treatment with any systemic anti-cancer therapy for locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC, such as standard chemotherapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy, immune therapy and for the prior adjuvant / neo-adjuvant therapy listed in the inclusion criteria VII

* Patients taking traditional Chinese medicine and preparations whose therapeutic goal is anti-tumors within 7 days before first drug administration; or continuously taking these medications during investigating period
* Patients with any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of Torsade ventricular tachycardia event who continuously take these medications during investigating period.
* Before the first administration, the duration of discontinuation of other clinical experimental drugs was less than 14 days
2. Unrecovered toxic reaction due to anti-tumor therapy existed, with over 1 grade of CTCAE (except alopecia) or 2 grade if ever applied DDP curing related neuropathy; Bone marrow, liver and kidney organ function please refer to exclusion criteria 7.
3. The tissue type is mixed type, that is, patients with lung adenocarcinoma mixed with lung squamous cell carcinoma.
4. Patients with spinal cord compression, asymptomatic and stable brain metastases, except for those patients who have completion of the definitive therapy and steroids at least 28 days before investigation，or patients who received local radiotherapy for brain metastasis will be allowed in when the period of stabilization of brain metastases are at no shorter than 28 days.
5. Patients with other malignant tumors or have a history of other malignant tumors, except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.
6. Any condition affecting the drug taking, or significantly affecting the absorption or the pharmacokinetic parameters, include any kind of uncontrollable nausea or vomit, chronic gastroenteropathy, disability in swallowing, history of gastrointestinal resection or surgery, uncured recurrent diarrhea, atrophic gastritis (the age of onset is less than 60 years old), stomach diseases, crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis that require long-term use of PPI antiacid drugs without cure.
7. Patients of organ insufficiency in bone marrow, liver and kidney meet the following requirements (patients should receive no blood transfusion, blood product, hematopoietic stimulating factors, and albumin two weeks before blood sampling of admission )：
* Absolute neutrophil count \< 1.5 x 109/L, Platelet count \< 75 x109/L, Haemoglobin \< 90 g/L;
* Alanine aminotransferase/Aspartate aminotransferase \> 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) if no demonstrable liver metastases or \> 5 times in the presence of liver metastases;
* Total bilirubin \> 1.5 times ULN, or \>3 times ULN in the presence of definitive Gilbert's syndrome (Unbound hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases;
* Creatinine \>1.5 times ULN concurrent with creatinine clearance \< 50 ml/min (measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation);
* The international standardized ratio (INR) was \> and 1.5, and the partial activation time of prothrombin (APTT) was \> 1.5 times ULN.
8. Any condition meets the following cardiac standard:
* Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc)\>470 msec, obtained from 3 ECG, using the screening clinic ECG machine-derived QTc value.
* Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of resting ECG, e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third-degree heart block, second-degree heart block, PR interval \>250 msec
