Lay summary:
TIMELY
Trial of afatinib in suspected or confirmed mutant EGFR lung cancer patients unfit for chemotherapy
Description
Design: TIMELY was an open label single arm phase II trial using an irreversible second generation EGFR inhibitor, afatinib. Trial afatinib treatment was given to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who were considered unfit for chemotherapy and harbour a suspected EGFR mutation (adenocarcinoma, ex or never smoker with no EGFR genotyping performed) or confirmed EGFR mutation. Patients were treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient/clinician decision to stop. The primary endpoint is progression free survival at 6 months.
Treatment:

Patients received oral afatinib once daily (starting dose of 40mg), administered in cycles of 28 days. Dose reductions to 30mg and 20mg afatinib applied according to drug related toxicity.

Key inclusion/exclusion criteria:

·         Any stage NSCLC patient not suitable for radical treatment who harbour a suspected EGFR mutation or confirmed EGFR mutation.

·         WHO performance status of 0-3.

·         Adequate renal and liver function, serum creatinine clearance ≥ 45 ml/min.

·         No concurrent anticancer treatment.

·         No pre-existing interstitial lung disease.

·         No significant or recent gastrointestinal abnormalities with diarrhoea as a major symptom.

·         No symptomatic heart failure with NYHA classification of 3 or more.

Duration of recruitment: 2 years
Aim
To examine the efficacy and safety of afatinib in suspected or confirmed EGFR mutant NSCLC patients who are considered unfit for chemotherapy.
