Brief summary

This open-label, single-arm, multi-center study will evaluate the progression-free survival in participants with histologically documented, advanced and/or metastatic chemotherapy naive, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) positive mutations and receiving erlotinib treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal due to any reason or death.

Interventions

Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Assessed by Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)Baseline up to approximately 4 yearsPFS was the time from inclusion in the study to the date of first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants without event were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented. If a participant received a second anti-cancer therapy without prior documentation of disease progression, the participant was censored at the date of last tumor assessment before starting new chemotherapy. Analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) And Partial Response (PR) as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1Baseline up to approximately 4 yearsCR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter compared to baseline.

PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Percentage of participants by localization of PD were reported. Localization included: Left lung inferior lobe; Para-aortic; Left lung upper lobe; Right lung inferior lobe; and Infracranial.

Number of EGFR Positive Participants Classified Based on Type of EGFR MutationsDay 1Participants with NSCLC have tumor associated with EGFR mutations. These mutations occur within EGFR Exons 18-21, which encodes a portion of the EGFR kinase domain.
Percentage of Similar EGFR Mutations Between Matched Plasma and Tumor Tissue SamplesBaseline up to approximately 4 years
Number of EGFR Positive Participants Classified Based on Smoking StatusDay 1Participants were asked: Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire life? and Do you now smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at all? Responses were grouped into three categories: Current Smoker, Former Smoker, and Non-Smoker. Participants who reported smoking at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who, at the time of survey, smoked either every day or some days were defined as 'Current smoker'. Participants who reported smoking at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who, at the time of the survey, did not smoke at all were defined as 'Former smoker'. Participants who reported never having smoked 100 cigarettes were defined as 'Non-smoker'.

Outcome results

Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Assessed by Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

PFS was the time from inclusion in the study to the date of first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants without event were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented. If a participant received a second anti-cancer therapy without prior documentation of disease progression, the participant was censored at the date of last tumor assessment before starting new chemotherapy. Analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
