Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This open-label, non-randomized, one-arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tarceva (erlotinib) as single-agent first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who show epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations. Patients will receive Tarceva 150 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

- Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
- timeFrame
- Baseline to progressive disease or death (up to 34 months)
- description
- PFS was defined as median time from the first dose of study treatment to the first documentation of objective tumor progression (according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours \[RECIST\] version 1.1) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. Median and the 95% confidence interval were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival methodology.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients, \>/= 18 years of age * Histologically or cytologically documented, inoperable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic (Stage IIIB or Stage IV) lung adenocarcinoma * Non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR activating mutation * Patients must have evidence of disease, but measurable disease is not mandatory * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2 * Adequate renal and liver function Exclusion Criteria: * Prior chemotherapy or other systemic anti-cancer treatment. Neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if completed within 6 months prior to enrolment. Prior radiochemotherapy is allowed if completed more than 6 months before start of study treatment * Prior therapy with systemic anti-tumour therapy with HER1/EGFR inhibitors * Any other malignancies within 5 years, except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma * Brain metastasis or spinal cord compression not yet definitely treated with surgery and/or radiation * Patients unable to take oral medication or requiring intravenous alimentation, with prior surgical procedures affecting absorption or active peptic ulcer disease * Any significant ophthalmologic abnormality, especially those likely to increase the risk of corneal epithelial lesions; the use of contact lenses is not recommended during the study * Pregnant or breast-feeding women
