Overview
Brief Summary
This open-label study will assess the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (Erlotinib) in patients with locally advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer who have not received previous chemotherapy for their disease and who present epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. Patients will receive Tarceva 150 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Arms & Interventions
Single Arm
Intervention: erlotinib [Tarceva]
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Progression-free Survival (Tumour Assessments According to RECIST Criteria)
Time Frame: Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or died; approximately 24 months.
Progression free survival is (PFS) defined as the time from the first dose of Erlotinib to the date of first occurrence of disease progression or death.
Secondary Outcomes
- Objective Response Rate (Investigator Assessed)(Visit 4, Visit 6, Visit 10 and Visit 22; (up to approximately 24 months))
- Safety: Incidence of Adverse Events(Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or died; approximately 24 months.)
- Overall Survival(Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or died; approximately 24 months.)
