Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following characteristics of the 'long-term responders' from the EAP; gender, ethnicity, smoking history (pack years), EGFR-TK mutation and histology of NSCLC. | Characteristics will be recorded once, retrospectively |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the long-term safety in subjects treated with gefitinib by collecting information on: All adverse events that have lead to an interruption/reduction of gefitinib or another intervention | Once, retrospectively for the period the patient has used gefitinib (minimal 3 years) |
| long-term safety in subjects; what real life data measures are being taken by lung physicians to counter side effects caused by long term gefitinib treatment; the number, reason, effect and description of interventions that have been taken | Once, retrospectively for the period the patient has used gefitinib (minimal 3 years) |
| long-term safety: Number, reason and effect of interruptions during gefitinib use to determine side effects typical for the long-term treatment with gefitinib | Once, retrospectively for the period the patient has used gefitinib (minimal 3 years) |
