Brief summary

This is a non-interventional, open label, single arm, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of erlotinib in participants with non-small cell lung cancer.

Interventions

DRUGErlotinib

Participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer will be treated with erlotinib according to the product label. This non-interventional study will not affect by any means the treatment, medical care or monitoring of the participant, since it reports retrospective data, which already exist in the participants' medical files.

Inclusion criteria

* It is the physician's decision to prescribe erlotinib in participants and to document their treatment * Participants must be candidates for receiving erlotinib for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer according to the product label

Exclusion criteria

* Participants will be excluded if safety concerns occurred * If the participant was not compliant or if the participant would wish to stop erlotinib therapy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free Survival (PFS) TimeUp to 6 yearsTime from the first dose of study treatment to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression was defined as at least 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for calculating PFS.
Percentage of Participants With Best Overall ResponseUp to 6 yearsPercentage of participants with best overall response of complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) were reported. Per RECIST Version 1.1: CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis less than \[\<\] 10 millimeter \[mm\]). No new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (\>=) 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. SD was defined as not qualifying for CR, PR, PD.

Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response

Percentage of participants with best overall response of complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) were reported. Per RECIST Version 1.1: CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis less than \[\<\] 10 millimeter \[mm\]). No new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (\>=) 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. SD was defined as not qualifying for CR, PR, PD.

Time frame: Up to 6 years

Population: Analysis population included participants who received at least 2 documented treatment cycles. Missing data was not reported.

Overall Survival (OS) Time

Time from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for calculating OS.

Time frame: Up to 6 years

Population: As per the study design, no follow up data was collected and documentation ended with end of erlotinib therapy. Due to less events, median OS was not reached.
