Overview
Brief Summary
This randomised, open label phase III trial will be performed in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung with tumours harbouring an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor activating mutation. The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy of single agent BIBW 2992, Arm A, with Pemetrexed/Cisplatin chemotherapy, Arm B, as first line treatment for this group of patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Time
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at Screening, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18 and then every 12-18 weeks until disease progression
PFS was defined as time from randomisation to disease progression or death whichever occured first. Assessed by central independent review according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1). Median time results from unstratified Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Patients With Objective Response (OR)(Tumour assessments were performed at Screening, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18 and then every 12-18 weeks until disease progression)
- Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (DC)(Tumour assessments were performed at Screening, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18 and then every 12-18 weeks until disease progression)
- Overall Survival (OS) Time(From randomisation to cut-off date (17MAR2017).)
- Tumour Shrinkage(Tumour assessments were performed at Screening, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18 and then every 12-18 weeks until disease progression)
- Change From Baseline in Body Weight(Baseline and throughout the trial until progression (every 3 weeks), up to 28 months.)
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS)(Throughout the trial until progression (every 3 weeks), up to 28 months.)
- Trough Plasma Concentrations of Afatinib at Day 22(Day 22.)
- Trough Plasma Concentrations of Afatinib at Day 43(Day 43.)
- Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL): Time to Deterioration in Coughing(Throughout the trial until progression (every 3 weeks).)
- HRQOL: Time to Deterioration in Dyspnoea(Throughout the trial until progression (every 3 weeks).)
- Trough Plasma Concentrations of Afatinib at Day 29(Day 29.)
- HRQOL: Time to Deterioration in Pain(Throughout the trial until progression (every 3 weeks).)
