Time frame
Tumour assessment were performed at screening, week 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48 and then every 12 weeks until progression or death whichever occurs first up to week 374

What was measured

Tumour shrinkage is calculated as the minimum post-baseline sum of longest diameters of target lesions (longest for non-nodal lesions, short axis for nodal lesions) (SLD), as assessed by central independent review. The mean of these minimum values are presented after adjusting for baseline sum of longest diameters and EGFR mutation category. Only data collected up until the analysis cut-off date (27 Dec 2013) were considered. A negative value means the smallest post-baseline SLD was smaller than baseline (decreased since baseline); a positive value means tumor size increased since baseline. The means are adjusted for baseline sum of lesions and EGFR mutation category.

Analysis population: The randomised set. There were ony 220 patients in the Afatinib arm and 101 patients in the Gemcitabine / Cisplatin arm with baseline and post-baseline target lesion measurements.

Groups in this outcome

Afatinib 40 Milligram (mg)

Patients received Afatinib film-coated tablets 40 mg once daily (q.d.) orally with possible dose escalation to 50 mg q.d. and dose reduction to 40 mg q.d. (if applicable), 30 mg q.d., or 20 mg q.d. (according to the protocol-defined dose-escalation and dose-reduction scheme), if required. No dose increase was allowed after dose reduction. Each treatment course was planned to be 21 days. For afatinib, patients received continuous daily dosing until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs) occurred, or withdrawal of consent for any reason.

Gemcitabine / Cisplatin Chemotherapy

Patients received Gemcitabine (lyophilised powder) 1000 milligram per square metre (mg/m²) as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on day 1 and day 8, cisplatin (solution for infusion) 75 mg/m² as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment course up to 6 cycles; Chemotherapy could be delayed or the dose could be reduced in accordance with the guidance in the current summary of product characteristics. For gemcitabine / cisplatin, patients were to receive a maximum of 6 treatment courses unless they developed disease progression, experienced unacceptable AEs, or withdrawal of consent for any reason.
