In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating BIBW 2992 for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients with stage IIIB and IV lung adenocarcinoma and progression to first-line chemotherapy were enrolled to receive afatinib 40 mg/day. Mutational EGFR and HER-2 status were assessed by RT-PCR. HER2 amplification was evaluated by FISH. Plasma HGF levels were measured by ELISA before and 2 months (mo) after the start of treatment. We assessed changes in serum HGF levels and their association with objective response rate (ORR), PFS and overall survival (OS).
