Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare progression-free survival (PFS) between erlotinib alone and cisplatin-pemetrexed-erlotinib in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC locally advanced and metastatic disease stage IIIB and IV.;Secondary Objective: To characterize toxicities of both treatment regimen, tumor response, quality of life, duration of tumor response and overall survival and correlate baseline cMet status with overall survival. ;Primary end point(s): Disease progression;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continuously

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Adverse events 2. Tumor response 3. Quality of life 4. Death;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Continuously 2. Every 6 weeks 3. Every 12 weeks 4. Continuously
