Actual (reported)Afatinib is an irreversible ErbB-family blocker with approved clinical activity in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. It has received regulatory approval for use as a treatment for patients with lung adenocarcinoma whose tumors harbour activating EGFR mutations within exons 18-21 of the EGFR receptor, or patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma whose disease progress after platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. However, diarrhea is the most commonly reported adverse events associated with afatinib treatment (\> 90%). Although these events are generally mild to moderate in severity, diarrhea adversely affects the tolerability of cancer treatment, and in severe cases diarrhea has the potential to affect the efficacy of treatment due to poor compliance, or treatment interruption, or dosage reduction. Currently, no prophylactic measure was demonstrated efficaciously. Bacillus cereus is an aerobic spore-forming bacterium that is commonly found in soil. The efficacy of Bacillus cereus in the management of afatinib treatment-associated diarrhoea has not been extensively evaluated in clinical studies. This is a single-arm, single-institutional, phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Bacillus cereus (Changfukang®) in the prevention of afatinib-associated diarrhea in NSCLC patients.
