Brief Summary
This open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the progression-free survival and safety of erlotinib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Participants will receive daily oral doses of erlotinib until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-Free Survival as Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v 1.1)
Kaplan Meier estimate of the median PFS was defined as the time at which half of the participants have progressed (progressive disease \[PD\]) based on RECIST tumor response criteria or died from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Patients who had not died or progressed at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of last contact.
Baseline until disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 4 years and 9 months)
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Proportion of Participants With Objective Response as Assessed by RECIST v 1.1
Baseline until disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 4 years and 9 months)
Proportion of Participants With Disease Control as Assessed by RECIST v 1.1
Baseline until disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 4 years and 9 months)
Proportion of Participants With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutations
Screening up to approximately 7 days
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
Baseline up to approximately 4 years and 9 months

Study Arms (2)
Erlotinib
EXPERIMENTALErlotinib will be administered as a single daily oral dose of 150 milligrams until disease progression, death or unacceptable toxicity.
Diagnostic Phase
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC were tested for EGFR mutations. Participants who did not have an EGFR mutation were excluded from the study.
Interventions
Daily oral doses administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or death.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the EGFR

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Life expectancy greater than or equal to (\>/=) 12 weeks
- Adequate hematological, liver and renal function
- Participants with asymptomatic and stable cerebral metastases receiving medical treatment
You may not qualify if:
- Previous chemotherapy or treatment against EGFR for metastatic disease
- Treatment with an investigational agent less than 3 weeks before enrollment
- History of neoplasm other than non-small cell lung cancer (except carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, basal cell skin carcinoma, or prostate carcinoma)
- Participants with symptomatic cerebral metastases
- Any significant ophthalmologic abnormality
- Unstable systemic disease
- Coumarins use
- Evidence of any other disease, neurological or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination or laboratory finding contraindicating the use of an investigational drug
- Participants with pre-existing parenchymal lung disease such as pulmonary fibrosis, lymphangiosis carcinomatosis
- Participants with known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV)
