Participant Flow

This is a non-interventional study (NIS) in real life clinical setting, in which responses were determined by using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)/World Health Organization (WHO)/clinical evidence as investigators deemed appropriate.

Data source for this study were medical records usually collected during routine clinical practice other than study-specific questionnaires. Data collection was performed between March 24, 2014 and March 14, 2019.

Measure
Afatinib
Participants with locally advanced and /or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations received orally 40 milligram (mg) or less than 40 mg Afatinib starting dose once daily as first-line therapy. With dose escalation to maximum of 50 mg/day and reduction to 30 mg/day or 20 mg/day according to the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) under routine clinical conditions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first administration of the trial drug until objective tumour progression or death, up to 48 months.

Population: PPS

PFS was measured from start of therapy until progression or death, whichever came first. Progression was defined as the minimum of the first examination with progression and the date of progression documented by the treating physician. One day was added to the corresponding date. Patients without documented progression and not known to have died were censored at their date of last examination and one day was added. Median was derived by Kaplan Meier methods.

Timeframe: Up to 48 months

Population: TS

Symptom control was evaluated for cough, dyspnea and pain. Time to deterioration was calculated from date of baseline European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire until date of the EORTC questionnaire, where the first deterioration was measured. Patients without deterioration were censored at their date of last answered EORTC questionnaire, where the corresponding scale is evaluable. Participants had to select one answer on a scale ranging from 1=Not at All to 4=Very Much for questions 1 to 28 and 31 to 43 and on scale ranging from 1=Very Bad to 7=Excellent for questions 29 and 30. Afterwards, these scale scores were linearly transformed such that all scales ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores represented higher level of symptoms.
