What was measured

HRQOL was measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 and its lung cancer specific module QLQ-LC13. Analysis for dyspnoea is based on composite of QLQ-LC13 questions 3-5. Time to deterioration was defined as the time from randomisation to a score increased (worsened) by at least 10 points from baseline (0-100 point scale). Patients were considered deteriorated at time of death. Median time results from unstratified Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Analysis population: RS.

Groups in this outcome

Afatinib 40 mg

Patients received Afatinib monotherapy 40 mg film-coated tablets orally once daily.

Pemetrexed/Cisplatin Chemotherapy

Patients received Pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 lyophilised powder as intravenous infusion after Cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2 solution for infusion as intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment course up to 6 cycles.
