Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall Response Rate (ORR) in Each Arm Receiving Targeted Therapy Based on Relevant Genomic Alterations
every 8 weeks until tumor progression or treatment discontinuation, up to 45 months.

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR), i.e., two CRs and/or PRs at least 4 weeks apart, according to the RECIST v1.1 criteria. CR=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR=at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

Secondary Endpoints

Clinical Benefit Rate in Each Arm Receiving Targeted Therapy Based on Relevant Genomic Alterations
Every 8 weeks until tumor progression or treatment discontinuation, up to 45 months
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) in Each Arm Receiving Targeted Therapy Based on Relevant Genomic Alterations
Every 8 weeks until tumor progression or treatment discontinuation, up to 45 months
Progression-Free Survival in Each Arm Receiving Targeted Therapy Based on Relevant Genomic Alterations
Every 8 weeks until tumor progression or treatment discontinuation, up to 45 months

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Arm 1EXPERIMENTALPatients with non-small cell lung cancer who have failed first line treatment may receive either regorafenib (Stivarga), afatinib (Gilotrif), or cabozantinib (Cabometyx) at the recommended dose level, depending on their specific genomic alterations.
Arm 2EXPERIMENTALPatients with urothelial carcinoma who have failed first line treatment may receive either regorafenib (Stivarga), afatinib (Gilotrif), or cabozantinib (Cabometyx) at the recommended dose level, depending on their specific genomic alterations.
Arm 3EXPERIMENTALPatients with non-colon gastrointestinal cancers who have failed first line treatment may receive either regorafenib (Stivarga), afatinib (Gilotrif), or cabozantinib (Cabometyx) at the recommended dose level, depending on their specific genomic alterations.
Arm 4EXPERIMENTALPatients with upper aerodigestive tract cancers who have failed first line treatment may receive either regorafenib (Stivarga), afatinib (Gilotrif), or cabozantinib (Cabometyx) at the recommended dose level, depending on their specific genomic alterations.

Frequently asked questions about Afatinib

What is Afatinib used for in Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma?

Afatinib is a small molecule being studied for use in Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development as an investigational therapy. The drug is being evaluated in a completed clinical trial that included patients with this condition, among other tumor types.

Who makes Afatinib?

Afatinib is being developed by Exelixis, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol EXEL. The company is conducting clinical research on this small molecule for the treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma.

What phase is Afatinib in?

Afatinib is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 2 clinical trial involving Afatinib has been completed, and the drug remains under investigation for Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma.

What clinical trials is Afatinib in?

Afatinib was studied in clinical trial NCT02795156, titled "Study Assessing Activity of Molecularly Matched Targeted Therapies in Select Tumor Types Based on Genomic Alterations." This Phase 2 trial enrolled 100 participants and included patients with Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma, Urothelial Carcinoma, Gastrointestinal Carcinoma, Non-colon, and Upper Aerodigestive Tract Carcinoma. The trial was conducted in the United States and has been completed.

Does Afatinib target a specific biomarker?

Afatinib is being studied in a biomarker-selected patient population. The clinical trial NCT02795156 evaluated molecularly matched targeted therapies based on genomic alterations, indicating that Afatinib's use is guided by specific biomarkers in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma.
