Osimertinib With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With EGFR Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Brain Metastases

Inclusion Criteria:

* Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an activating EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion, L858R point mutation, or any other mutation known to be associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity); presence of an activating EGFR mutation may be documented in tumor tissue or by plasma testing if performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified laboratory
* No prior treatment with an EGFR TKI; patient may have received prior chemotherapy for early-stage or advanced disease but this is not required; prior immunotherapy is not allowed
* Patients must have at least one measurable CNS lesion that is asymptomatic, untreated, and does not require local therapy at the time of enrollment; measurable CNS disease is defined as a brain metastasis that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \>= 5 mm (\>= 0.5 cm) with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); if the lesion is 5-10 mm in size and is the only measurable disease, MRI imaging must be performed with 1.5 mm slice thickness or less; a history of previously treated brain metastases is allowed, however any lesion present at the time of whole brain radiotherapy or included in the stereotactic radiotherapy field (or within 2 mm of the treated lesion) will NOT be considered "untreated" unless it is new or documented to have progressed unequivocally since treatment
* Patients are not required to have measurable systemic (i.e. non-CNS) disease; if present, measurable systemic disease must be able to be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as \>= 20 mm (\>= 2 cm) with conventional techniques or as \>= 10 mm (\>= 1 cm) with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam

* Prior treatment with agents targeting the VEGF pathway, including bevacizumab
* The use of corticosteroids to control cerebral edema or treat neurologic symptoms will not be allowed, and patients who previously required corticosteroids for symptom control must be off steroids for at least 3 days without recurrence of symptoms prior to starting trial therapy; corticosteroids for other indications is allowed
* Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents and may not have participated in a study of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within five half-lives of the compound or 3 months, whichever is greater
* Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment with the exception of alopecia and grade 2 platinum-therapy related neuropathy
* Concurrent, active malignancies in addition to that being studied (other than cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma)
* Any contraindication to MRI (i.e. patients with pacemakers or other metal implanted medical devices)
* Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis which required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to osimertinib (AZD9291) or bevacizumab
* Urine protein should be screened by urine analysis; if protein is 2+ or higher, 24-hour urine protein should be obtained; patients with 24-hour urine protein \>= 1000 mg are excluded
* Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture
* History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to day 1
* Invasive procedures defined as follows:

* Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy (including clinically significant hemoptysis)
* Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of osimertinib (AZD9291)
