Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Objective Response (OR) [Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.]

    OR is defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) and was assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.0 (RECIST). OR was primary endpoint only for Cohort B.

  2. Clinical Benefit (CB) [Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.]

    CB was defined as CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 4 months (modified CB) and was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria. CB was primary endpoint only for Cohort A.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Clinical Benefit (CB) [Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.]

    CB was defined as CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 4 months (modified CB) and was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria. CB was secondary endpoint only for Cohort B as it was primary endpoint for Cohort A.

  2. Time to OR [Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.]

    The time to OR was the duration from the first treatment to the time when the measurement criteria for CR and/or PR were met according to RECIST 1.0 criteria.

  3. Duration of OR [Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.]

    Duration of OR was measured from the time the criteria for CR or PR (whichever was documented first) were first met until the first date that progressive disease or death was objectively documented.

  4. Progression-free Survival (PFS) [Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.]

    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 RECIST 1.0 criteria as well as by the investigators assessment. Median time results from unstratified Kaplan-Meier estimates.

  5. Overall Survival (OS) [From randomisation to end of follow-up.]

    OS is defined as time from randomisation to death.

  6. Significant Change in Cardiac Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) [Baseline and last assessment]

    LVEF as measured by echocardiography or Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) scan. MUGA scan is an useful noninvasive tool for assessing the function of the heart. Significant change in LVEF values was defined as >=20 percent decrease from baseline or to below lower limit of normal, which was defined as 50 percent.

  7. Best Change From Baseline in ECOG Performance Status [baseline till end of treatment]

    Best change from baseline in ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status. ECOG is measured as score between 0 (fully active) and 5 (dead).

  8. Pre-dose Concentration of Afatinib in Plasma at Steady State on Day 29 (Cpre,ss,29) [day 29]

    Cpre,ss,29 represents the pre-dose concentration of afatinib in plasma at steady state on day 29.
