LUX-Lung 1 Clinical Trial Infographic

LUX-Lung 1 is a clinical Phase IIb/III randomised, double-blind study evaluating afatinib* in combination with best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients' disease has progressed after prior chemotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) gefitinib or erlotinib treatment. Due to the study inclusion criteria a high proportion of patients that may have mutated EGF receptors in their tumours were included. 585 male and female patients took part in the LUX-Lung 1 trial.

The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), tumour shrinkage as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST response), disease related symptom control (quality of life; QoL) and safety.
