Brief summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of a tablet formulation versus a capsule formulation of ASP8273 following a single dose under fasted condition in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of a tablet formulation as a single dose and a capsule formulation as a single and multiple dose of ASP8273 in subjects with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations.

Detailed description: Study and subjects will be divided into two phases: a pharmacokinetic (PK) and a postpharmacokinetic phase. The pharmacokinetic phase will follow a randomized, 2 period, 2 sequence single dose crossover design. Each period will be 5 days in duration. Within the sequence, both an ASP8273 tablet and ASP8273 capsule will be administered under fasted condition. The postpharmacokinetic phase will consist of up to 1 cycle (28 days) of continuous once daily dosing in post PK phase with ASP8273 capsules. Dose modifications are allowed if necessary in post PK phase and they follow a step-wise dose reduction. Subject is able to re-escalate dose level if reaction is stable.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has histologically confirmed locally advanced or unresectable Stage IIIB (not amenable to receive curative treatments such as chemo-radiation)/IV or metastatic NSCLC.
* Subject has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.
* Subject has an EGFR activating mutation based on local testing.
* Subject has predicted life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
* Subject must meet all of the following criteria on the laboratory tests. In case of multiple laboratory data within this period, the most recent data should be used.

  * Neutrophil count \> 1000/mm\^3
  * Platelet count ≥ 7.5 x 10\^4/mm\^3
  * Hemoglobin \> 8.0 g/dL
  * Serum creatinine \<2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated glomerular filtration rate of \> 50 mL/min as calculated by the Cockcroft Gault Method
  * Total bilirubin \< 1.5 × ULN (except for subjects with documented Gilbert's syndrome)
  * AST (Aspartate aminotransferase (GOT) and ALT (Alanine aminotransferase (GPT)) \< 3.0 × ULN (upper limit of normal) or ≤ 5 × ULN if subject has documented liver metastases
  * Serum sodium level ≥ 130 mmol/L
* Subject agrees not to participate in another interventional study while receiving study drug and participating in the present study.
* Female subject must either:

  * Be of nonchildbearing potential:
  * Postmenopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses) prior to screening, or
  * Documented surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) Or, if of childbearing potential,
  * Agree not to try to become pregnant during the study and for 28 days after the final study drug administration
  * And have a negative blood pregnancy test at the time of screening
  * And if heterosexually active, agrees to consistently use 1 form of highly effective birth control\* starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 28 days after the final study drug administration.
* Female subject must agree not to breastfeed at screening and throughout the study period, and for 28 days after the final study drug administration.
* Female subject must not donate ova starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 28 days after the final study drug administration.
* A sexually active male subject with female partner(s) who are of childbearing potential is eligible if:

  * Agrees to use a male condom starting at screening and continue throughout study treatment and for 90 days after the final study drug administration. If the male subject has not had a vasectomy or is not sterile as defined below their female partner(s) is utilizing 1 form of highly effective birth control\*starting at screening and continue throughout study treatment and for 90 days after the male subject receives their final study drug administration.
* Male subject with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner(s) must agree to remain abstinent or use a condom for the duration of the pregnancy or time partner is breastfeeding throughout the study period and for 90 days after the final study drug administration
* Male subject must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 90 days after the final study drug administration.
* Subject must be willing to fast for approximately 10 hours predose and 4 hours postdose on day 1 of each period in the pharmacokinetic phase.

  * Highly effective forms of birth control include:

    * Consistent and correct usage of established hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation,
    * Established intrauterine device or intrauterine system.
    * Vasectomy (A vasectomy is a highly effective contraception method provided the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highly effective method of contraception should be used).
    * Male subject is sterile due to a bilateral orchiectomy.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject has an ongoing toxicity ≥ Grade 2 (NCI CTCAE Version 4.03) attributable to prior medication to treat solid tumor (except alopecia) at screening.
* Subject has received investigational therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug.
* Subject has received treatment with any other agent with antitumor activity including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy within 14 days as well as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor within 6 days prior to first dose of study drug.
* Subject has any of the following within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug:
