E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female patients must be ≥ 18 years of age and satisfy the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is being conducted
2. Patients with pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lung (e.g., this may occur as systemic recurrence after prior surgery for early stage disease or patients may be newly diagnosed with Stage IIIB/C or IV disease). Patients with mixed histology are eligible if adenocarcinoma is the predominant histology
3. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy
4. Patients with at least 1 of the 2 common EGFR mutations known to be associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity (Ex19del or L858R), either alone or in combination with other EGFR mutations, assessed in tissue biopsy by an accredited local laboratory based on the Qiagen- Therascreen® EGFR Mutation Detection Kit RGQ (Scorpions ARMS), the Amoy Diagnostics-the AmoyDx® EGFR Mutation Test Kit, the PANAGENEPANAMutyperTM or the Roche Diagnostics-Cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2, or by central testing in a designated laboratory
5. Mandatory provision of an unstained, archived tumor tissue sample in a quantity sufficient to allow for central analysis of EGFR mutation status for patients
6. Patients must be treatment-naïve for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. (Note: Prior adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational products) for early stage disease is permitted if completed > 12 months prior to randomization provided all other entry criteria are satisfied
7. Patients must have a WHO performance status score of 0 to 1 with no clinically significant deterioration over the previous 2 weeks before randomization
8. Patients must have at least 1 measurable lesion, not previously irradiated and not chosen for biopsy during the study Screening period, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have a short axis of ≥15 mm) with computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements. If only 1 measurable lesion exists, it is acceptable to be used (as a target lesion) as long as it has not been previously irradiated and baseline tumor assessment scans are done at least 2 weeks after the screening biopsy is performed
9. A male patient who has not undergone a vasectomy must agree to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 3 of protocol during the study treatment period and for at least 24 weeks after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period
10. A female patient is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
• Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in Appendix 3 of protocol.
OR
• A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 3 from the time of screening until 24 weeks after the last dose of study treatment.
• A WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test (beta human chorionic gonadotropin) at screening.
11. Patient must sign an informed consent form (ICF) prior to any study specific procedures which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in protocol
