What was measured

Participants' responses on the FACT-L were scored according to FACIT measurement system manual. Time to symptom progression is the time from randomization until the earlier of a clinically meaningful decline from baseline in LCS score, or death on study. A change in 2 to 3 points on the LCS is a clinically meaningful change. Meaningful declines in scores as measured by the FACIT instruments have been found to be larger than improvements. Thus, deterioration in disease-related symptoms was defined by the upper bound (3 points) of the range of clinically meaningful change. However, participants who demonstrated early lung cancer progression demonstrated smaller changes from baseline score on the LCS. Therefore, the clinically meaningful decline that was used to determine progression of symptoms in this study was at least 1.5-point decline in LCS score from baseline. Kaplan Meier estimated were used for analysis.

Analysis population: FAS population; Only participants with both a baseline FACT-L assessment and a subsequent FACT-L assessment were included in the analysis.

Groups in this outcome

Comparator

Participants received either pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 every 21 days until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death or docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death. Choice of comparator was left to the discretion of the investigator in countries where both treatments are registered to use and are commercially available for second line use (otherwise, docetaxel was administered), assigning the participant to either comparator depending upon the medical needs of the participant. Participants were required to receive concomitant treatment therapy as indicated in the product label.

Erlotinib

Participants received erlotinib, 150 mg, administered orally as a tablet, once daily until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or death.
