Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Afatinib | Afatinib film-coated tablets administered orally, once daily. Starting dose was 40 milligram (mg), dose escalation to 50mg was allowed after completing one 28-day treatment course, dose reduction to 40mg, 30mg or 20mg was required in the presence of protocol-defined adverse events. Continuous daily dosing until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable adverse events, or other reason necessitating withdrawal. | 126 | 160 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Gefitinib | Gefitinib film-coated tablets, administered orally, once daily. Starting dose was 250mg, the investigator was allowed to modify dosing in the presence of drug-related adverse events. Continuous daily dosing until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable adverse events, or other reason necessitating withdrawal. | 132 | 159 | EG001 |
