Arm/Group Title Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) Afatinib 50 mg/Day Plus Best Supportive Care (BSC)
Hide Arm/Group Description Patients received matching placebo for 50 mg, 40 mg or 30 mg afatinib tablets starting with 50 mg/day. Dose reductions were managed in the same way as for the afatinib arm. Patients started with a 50 mg/day dose. Dose reductions were permitted by the protocol to 40 mg/day plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) or 30 mg /day plus BSC based upon prespecified Adverse Events and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade (Version 3.0).

1.Primary Outcome
Title Overall Survival
Hide Description

Overall survival was the duration from the date of randomization to the date of death. Patients who were alive were censored at the last contact date prior to the database lock.

For the primary analysis 11 patients were lost to follow-up and were censored at the last contact date when they were known to be still alive. Primary analysis data cut-off date was 08 July 2010.

For the final analysis 13 patients were lost to follow-up and were censored at the last contact date when they were known to be still alive. Final analysis data cut-off date was 04 October 2013.

Time Frame From randomization until death or the last patient out date, an average of 12 months
