Yes, you might have to fight with the insurer to get coverage. CVS just dropped Tasigna and Xtandi from their formulary - that's pretty dramatic (and horrendous in my opinion).

The key difference between a front line trial and a second line trial is what drugs the patients have previously taken. Front line they need to be "virgins," at least wrt to other TKI's here (might allow some previous chemo).
