Brief summary

This trial is an extension to ENSURE, a study of erlotinib versus gemcitabine/cisplatin combination chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFR. This study is designed to examine the efficacy of erlotinib versus gemcitabine/cisplatin as a second-line treatment in NSCLC patients from the ENSURE trial (NCT01342965). Patients previously treated with gemcitabine/cisplatin will be given erlotinib daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Patients previously treated with erlotinib will be given cisplatin on Day 1 and gemcitabine on Days 1 and 8 of 3-week chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or up to 4 cycles (whichever comes first).

Interventions

DRUGErlotinib

150 mg oral dose of erlotinib given once daily

DRUGChemotherapy

Cisplatin (75 mg/m\^2 intravenously \[IV\]) on Day 1 and gemcitabine (1250 mg/m\^2 IV) on Days 1 and 8 of 3-week chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or up to 4 cycles (whichever comes first)
