Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BIBW 2992 in this patient population. If this study shows promising results, further studies to evaluate the benefit of BIBW 2992 in this subgroup of HER2-positive patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer are warranted.;Secondary Objective: none;Primary end point(s): PSA response rate according to Bubley criteria of BIBW 2992 in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer after failure of docetaxel chemotherapy. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PSA should be determined at screening, visit 1 of every other cycle, EOT, and Follow-up 1.
