Core Tip	The combination of chemotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (concomitant or intercalated) generally showed improved efficacy compared with EGFR-TKI alone as the first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy followed by icotinib maintenance as first-line treatment for advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Sixty-eight advanced NSCLC patients were randomized 2:3 to administrate icotinib-alone or chemotherapy plus icotinib. Chemotherapy plus icotinib group showed higher progression-free survival than icotinib alone. Our study suggested that a sequential combination of chemotherapy and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor is feasible for stage IV EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients.
