PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

Population: Treated Set (TS). TS consisted of all patients who received at least one dose of trial medication.

OR is defined as complete response and partial response (PR) and was assessed according to the Macdonald criteria for glioblastomas and brain metastases and according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.0 (RECIST) for solid tumours (excluding glioblastomas).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: The day before the first drug dose (baseline) and the day 14. Electrocardiograms (ECG) were performed at time point 0 and 1 hour (h), 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, 10 h, 24 h thereafter.

Population: All patients in TS who had at least 1 time-matched pair of QT measurements available from baseline and from Day 14 of treatment.

Average time-matched QT corrected by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) change from baseline to day 14 over 1 to 24 hours following administration of afatinib.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

Population: All patients from TS who progressed or died.

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 the Macdonald criteria for glioblastomas and brain metastases and according to RECIST for solid tumours (excluding glioblastomas) as well as by the investigators assessment. Median time results from unstratified Kaplan-Meier estimates.
