Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Part A: Clinical Benefit (CB) Assessed by Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) for at Least 6 Months Using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1). [This endpoint was assessed between the from first administration of trial medication in Part A and the earliest of PD, death or start of next treatment (either Part B combination therapy or new anti-cancer therapy) up to 929 days.]

    Tumour response was assessed separately for Part A and Part B according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. The primary endpoint of this study was confirmed clinical benefit, as assessed by Stable Disease (SD) for at least 6 months (defined as >182 days), Partial Response (PR), or Complete Response (CR) according to RECIST version 1.1 (only confirmed responses were considered).

  2. Part B: Clinical Benefit (CB) Assessed by Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) for at Least 6 Months Using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1). [This endpoint was recorded from first administration of trial medication in Part B until the earliest of PD, death or start of new anti-cancer therapy up to 929 days.]

    Tumour response was assessed separately for Part B according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. The primary endpoint of this study was confirmed clinical benefit, as assessed by Stable Disease (SD) for at least 6 months (defined as >182 days), Partial Response (PR), or Complete Response (CR) according to RECIST version 1.1 (only confirmed responses were considered).

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details This was an open-label study conducted in two sequential parts (Part A in which patients were treated with Afatinib (BIBW 2992) as monotherapy; Part B in which patients were treated with Afatinib plus Vinorelbine as combination therapy after progression on Afatinib monotherapy).
Pre-assignment Detail Part A: Patients were treated with Afatinib and could continue on treatment until first Progression of Disease (PD), intolerable side effects, or withdrawal of consent. Upon first PD, patients could enter Part B of the study, during which they continued to be treated with Afatinib and additionally were treated with weekly Vinorelbine.
Arm/Group Title Afatinib (Part A). Afatinib+V (Vinorelbine) (Part B).
Arm/Group Description Part A: Patients received Afatinib tablets, 40 mg taken orally Once Daily (OD) until Progression of their Disease (PD). In case of treatment-related adverse events (AEs), the 40 mg dose could be reduced by increments of 10 mg to 30 mg once daily or 20 mg once daily. Part B: Upon first Progression of Disease (PD), patients could enter Part B of the study, during which they continued to be treated with Afatinib and additionally were treated with Vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 per week via intravenous (i.v) infusion. Patients treated with Afatinib and Vinorelbine combination therapy could continue to receive treatment until second progression of disease, intolerable side effects, or withdrawal of consent.
