PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From first dose of study medication to response measurement, up to 34 month

Population: Treated set (TS). TS consisted of all patients who were dispensed study medication and have taken at least 1 dose of Afatinib.

Objective response (OR) including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria .

Objective Response (OR)
4 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first dose of study medication to the occurrence of progression or death whichever came first, up to 34 month

Population: TS

PFS was defined as the time from the first treatment to the occurrence of tumour progression or death, whichever came first. It was assessed according to RECIST criteria.

Measure
Afatinib 50 mg
n=41 Participants
Patients received continuous daily dosing with Afatinib 50 mg therapy over 28-day treatment cycles until further disease progression or undue toxicity.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
106 days
Interval 57.0 to 117.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first dose of study medication to death or to the last date the patient was known to be alive, up to 34 month

Population: TS (14 patients died)

OS was defined as the time from first treatment to death or to the last date the patient was known to be alive.

Outcome measures

Measure
Afatinib 50 mg
n=41 Participants
Patients received continuous daily dosing with Afatinib 50 mg therapy over 28-day treatment cycles until further disease progression or undue toxicity.
Overall Survival (OS)
427 days
Interval 397.0 to
upper bound can not be calculated due to too few deaths.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first dose of study medication to time when OR measurement was taken.

Population: TS. There were only 4 patients who responded.

The time to OR was the duration from the first treatment to the time when the measurement criteria for CR and/or PR were met according to RECIST criteria.

Patients received continuous daily dosing with Afatinib 50 mg therapy over 28-day treatment cycles until further disease progression or undue toxicity.
Time to RECIST Tumour Reponse
NA days
Median time of RECIST tumour response was not calculable as there were only 4 patients who responded.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first OR to time of progression or death

Population: TS - patients with OR only.

Duration of confirmed OR is measured from the time of first OR to the time of progression or death (or date of censoring for progression free survival).
