E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
to determine the confirmed best overall response rate (ORR = complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) following treatment with neratinib and neratinib plus temsirolimus in patients with NSCLC carrying known human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) activating mutations who have received at least one prior regimen of chemotherapy |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• to determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) with respect to neratinib monotherapy and neratinib plus temsirolimus combination therapy, defined as the percentage of patients with CR + PR + stable disease (SD) ≥12 weeks;
• to determine the duration of response (DOR) with respect to neratinib monotherapy and neratinib plus temsirolimus combination therapy, defined as the date when criterion of CR or PR is first met and subsequently confirmed (whichever status is recorded first) to the first date of documented disease progression;
• to determine progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the interval from date of randomization to date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, following treatment with neratinib and neratinib plus temsirolimus;
• to determine median overall survival (OS);
• to assess the safety profile and tolerability of neratinib and neratinib plus temsirolimus;
• health outcome assessments.
