What was measured

Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time, in months, from the inclusion date to the death date. A patient is censored at the last contact date if he/she does not die.Overall survival will be assessed from the date of enrollment in the study until the date of death from any cause. Patients lost to follow-up will be censured on the date of the last follow-up visit.

Groups in this outcome

A: Erlotinib Group

Erlotinib (Tarceva)150 mg /day Patients will receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For all practical effects a treatment cycle will be defined as three weeks of continuous treatment with erlotinib Erlotinib: 150 mg/day Patients will receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For all practical effects a treatment cycle will be defined as three weeks of continuous treatment with erlotinib

B: Standard Chemotherapy Group

4 cycles of Chemotherapy: Cisplatin / Gemcitabine; Cisplatin /Docetaxel; Carboplatin / Gemcitabine; Carboplatin / Docetaxel. 3 week cycles of standard intravenous chemotherapy * 75 mg/m² cisplatin plus 75 mg/m² docetaxel on day 1 or * 75 mg/m² cisplatin on day 1 plus 1250 mg/m² gemcitabine on days 1 and 8 Patients who were ineligible for cisplatin treatment received intra venous carboplatin chemotherapy instead: * 3 week cycles of carboplatin AUC 6 on day 1 with 75 mg/m² docetaxel on day 1 or * 3 week cycles carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1 with 1000 mg/m² gemcitabine on days 1 and 8 Patients in the chemotherapy arm will receive the treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs, or until a maximum of 4 treatment cycles are given.
