The primary objective of this open-label, single arm Phase II trial is to explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 defined by the objective response rate (CR, PR) as determined by RECIST criteria in patients with advanced NSCLC Stage IIIB or IV whose tumors harbor activating mutations within exon 18 to exon 21 of the EGFR receptor. Patients progressing or relapsing after one prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen as well as chemotherapy naïve patients (only in stage 2) will be allowed to enter into the trial.

  1. description
    Patients start continuous once daily oral treatment of BIBW 2992 at high dose, until progression or undue Adverse Events (AEs) develop. Patients can be dose-reduced up to two times if needed after temporary discontinuation of treatment due to drug-related AEs. After protocol amendment 2 (17 Dec 2008), the starting dose of BIBW 2992 was reduced to a medium dose, with 2 possible dose reductions if needed after discontinuation due to drug-related AEs.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Objective response (OR) was assessed for all treated patients by independent review as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0. OR included complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), where CR or PR must have been confirmed by a subsequent response in ≥28 days.
    measure
    Objective Response (OR) as Determined by RECIST 1.0
    time Frame
    Response assessment is done at end of Week 4 (after Course 1), Week 8 (after Course 2), Week 12 (after Course 3) and at 8-week intervals thereafter, up to 93 months.
secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    Clinical benefit was evaluated according to RECIST 1.0 by independent review assessment. Patients whose best RECIST 1.0 assessment was stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) were considered to have derived a clinical benefit from treatment.

  4. description
    Time to objective response was defined as the number of days from the start of treatment to the first recorded objective response.

  5. description
    Progression-free survival (PFS) as per independent review was defined as the duration of time from the start of treatment until the day of objective tumor progression was confirmed by tumor imaging (Progressive Disease according to RECIST 1.0) or death, whichever came first. Patients with unknown progression status or unknown date of progression were reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Patients known to be alive without progression at the end of the trial or the last follow-up visit were censored at the date of the last imaging when the patient was known to be alive and progression-free. Medians are calculated from the Kaplan-Meier estimates and 95% confidence intervals, using Greenwood's standard error estimate.
