Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva in two groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have not been pre-treated with chemotherapy. One group, consisting of patients who have never smoked, will receive Tarceva 150 mg/day, and the other group, consisting of current/former smokers, will receive Tarceva 150 mg/day increasing to a maximum of 300 mg/day. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Non-Progression Rate (NPR) at 8 Weeks
Non-Progressive Rate (NPR) was defined as the percentage of participants without progression (had stable disease (SD) or better) based on (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria 8 weeks after start of treatment. Diagnosis of Progressive Disease (PD) was made by objective criteria (RECIST criteria) on the target lesion(s), or by documenting, with Computerised Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CT/MRI) scans, the presence of newly occurring lesion(s) arising outside the scanned areas of the target lesions. PD required at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Study Arms (2)
Never Smokers
EXPERIMENTALNever Smokers (participants who smoked ≤ 100 cigarettes in entire lifetime or had never smoked cigarettes) received erlotinib \[Tarceva\] 150 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Current/Former Smokers
EXPERIMENTALCurrent Smokers (participants who smoked \> 100 cigarettes in entire lifetime and either quit smoking \< 1 year ago or were currently smoking) or Former Smokers (participants who smoked \> 100 cigarettes in entire lifetime and quit smoking ≥ 1 year ago) received erlotinib \[Tarceva\] 150 mg orally daily, increasing to a maximum of 300 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Interventions
Erlotinib tablets taken orally once daily in the morning.

Limitations and Caveats
Treatment was ongoing for 3 patients at the time of the Clinical Study Report (CSR) cut-off. In the addendum to the CSR, there were no findings for these 3 patients that deviated from those observed in the original report.
