9. Life expectancy of at least three months.
10. Written informed consent that is consistent with ICH-GCP guidelines. |

2. Previously received less than 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy due to toxicity and/or intolerance of treatment.
3. Previous treatment with any EGFR targeting TKI or antibody.
4. Chemotherapy, biological therapy or investigational agents within three weeks prior to the start of study treatment.
5. Hormonal treatment within two weeks prior to start of study treatment.

8. Known hypersensitivity to afatinib or the excipients of afatinib.
9. History or presence of clinically relevant cardiovascular abnormalities such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure NYHA classification of 3, unstable angina or poorly controlled arrhythmia as determined by the investigator or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to study treatment.
10. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men who are able to father a child, unwilling to be abstinent or use adequate contraception prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and for at least 28 days after treatment has ended.
11. Female patients of childbearing potential who are nursing or pregnant or do not agree to submit to pregnancy testing required by this protocol.
12. Any history of or concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to comply with the study or interfere with the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the test drug.
13. Previous or concomitant malignancies at other sites, except; a) effectively treated non-melanoma skin cancers, b) effectively treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, c) effectively treated ductal carcinoma in situ, d) other effectively treated malignancy that has been in remission for more than 3 years and is considered to be cured.
14. Requiring treatment with any of the listed prohibited concomitant medications
that cannot be stopped for the duration of trial participation.
15. Known pre-existing interstitial lung disease.
16. Any history or presence of poorly controlled gastrointestinal disorders that could affect the absorption of the study drug (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic diarrhea, malabsorption).
17. Active hepatitis B infection (defined as presence of HepB sAg and/ or Hep B DNA), active hepatitis C infection (defined as presence of Hep C RNA) and/or known HIV carrier.
18. Prior participation in an afatinib clinical study, even if not assigned to afatinib treatment.
19. Meningeal carcinomatosis.
20. Presence or history of brain or subdural metastases, unless patient has completed local therapy and has discontinued the use of corticosteroids or has been on stable dose of corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before starting study treatment. Any symptoms attributed to brain metastases must be stable for at least 4 weeks before starting study treatment.
