Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary end point(s): Disease Assessment will be based on the assessment of cancer related symptoms and, if available, radiologic assessments as per standard of care at the site.<br><br>Data regarding tumour assessments that are performed according to local standard of care for NSCLC may contribute to:<br><br>- Time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) is defined as the time from first administration of afatinib to the date of first documented clinically significant symptomatic progression that required change in or stopping anti-cancer treatment according to investigator’s assessment.<br><br>Data regarding tumour assessments that are performed according to local standard of care for NSCLC may contribute to Progression-Free Survival (PFS), defined as time from the date of the first administration of afatinib to the date of progression or to the date of death, whichever occurs first.<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At the end of the study.
