Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with metastatic or advanced lung cancer not suitable for surgery are excluded. Patients that had received previous therapy for lung cancer (es. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), chemotherapy, radiotherapy) Patients are excluded if they had another cancer diagnosis in the last 5 years excepted adeguately treated non melanoma skin cancer or in situ cervical cancer major surgery within 4 weeks before starting trial treatment or scheduled for surgery during the projected course of the trial known hypersensitivity to afatinib (Giotrif®) or any of its excipients history or presence of clinically relevant cardiovascular abnormalities such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of 3 (Refer to Appendix 10.2), unstable angina or poorly controlled arrhythmia as determined by the investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the anti-tumor efficacy of afatinib, in patients with stage IIIA or stage IIIB N2 requiring neoadjuvant treatment for pN2 non squamous non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), measured as objective response rate (ORR) by pathological down-staging and pathological complete response.;Secondary Objective: To assess secondary measures of clinical efficacy including time to relapse (TTR), time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS). To assess the safety and tolerability of afatinib in this subset of patients with NSCLC.;Primary end point(s): To assess the anti-tumor efficacy of afatinib, in patients with stage IIIA or stage IIIB N2 requiring neoadjuvant treatment for pN2 non squamous non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR-activating mutation, measured as objective response rate (ORR) by pathological down-staging and pathological complete response.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at the end of the treatment period and after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): To assess secondary measures of clinical efficacy including time to relapse (TTR), time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS), to assess the safety and tolerability of afatinib in this subset of patients with NSCLC.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: during the whole treatment period (3 periods. of 28 days each). After the end of treatment every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months for the following 3 years.
