Study endpoints • Primary • overall survival • Secondary • progression-free survival (PFS) • time to deterioration of cough, dyspnoea, painas per EORTC QLQ-C30 + QLQ-LC13 • response rates, duration • toxicity and tolerability • tissue HER1/EGFR versus outcome and safety • TarcevaTM trough pharmacokinetics HER/EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor
Key eligibility criteria • Confirmed NSCLC, Stage IIIB or IV • Age ³18 years • PS 0, 1, 2 or 3 • Measurable or non-measurable disease • One or two prior chemotherapy regimens • Adequate organ function • HER1/EGFR+ not required • No prior HER1/EGFR inhibitors • No prior malignancies or uncontrolled CNS M1 • Written informed consent NSCLC = non-small-cell lung cancer; CNS M1 = symptomatic central nervous system metastasis

1st-line Erlotinib in Elderly Patientswith Advanced NSCLCJackman, Abstract #7168 Results • For the 64 patients eligible for QoL analysis, there was no statistically significant improvement in overall LCSS score. • Patients who achieved PR or SD had statistically significant improvements in their overall score QoL as measured by LCSS. Conclusions • Patients over the age of 70 years had a median survival of 10.9 months when treated with erlotinib in the first-line. • Erlotinib in this population was also associated with improvements in key symptoms of dyspnea, cough, fatigue, pain and loss of appetite. • Improvements in overall LCSS score were noted in patients who achieved disease control (PR or SD).

1st-line Erlotinib in Elderly Patientswith Advanced NSCLCAkerley, Abstract #7178 • Conclusions • The overall response rate was 15%; the 6-month PFS rate is 56%. • Rash predicts the duration of erlotinib effectiveness. • Never smokers show a better survival outcome than ever smokers. • Survival and PFS in this population of minimally selected patients appear comparable to that with chemotherapy. • A randomized trial is warranted to further investigate the results of this trial.
