European Cancer Congress 2015
- 6 abstracts accepted including latest data for GIOTRIF® (afatinib*) and VARGATEF® (nintedanib**) in lung cancer and beyond
- Latest data from LUME-Lung 1 trial demonstrate VARGATEF® plus docetaxel reduced the rate of tumour growth over time compared to docetaxel alone in second-line adenocarcinoma
- New analyses from LUX-Lung 8 trial provides further information to support the use of GIOTRIF® to treat patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung, independent of their mutation status2,3

Afatinib is not approved in other indications.
**Nintedanib is approved in the EU under the brand name VARGATEF® for use in combination with docetaxel in adult patients with locally advanced, metastatic or locally recurrent NSCLC of adenocarcinoma tumour histology after first-linechemotherapy. Nintedanib is under regulatory review by health authorities in other countries outside the EU. Nintedanib is not approved in other oncology indications.
