Brief summary:
This study will assess the efficacy of AUY922, when administered weekly at 70 mg/m2, in adult patients with advanced Non-small-cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), who have received at least two prior lines of chemotherapy. Patients will be retrospectively, and prospectively, stratified based on their molecular tumor etiology. The following strata was assigned: Patients with Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations, Patients with Kirstin Raus sarcoma virus (KRAS) activating mutations, Patients with EML4-ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) translocations and patients that were both EGFR and Kras wild type.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Patients with EGFR activating mutation tumors (Note: These patients must have progressed on one prior EGFR TKI containing regimen unless they have documented T790M activating mutation). Patients received AUY922 at 70 mg/m\^2 weekly infusions. arm 2: Patients with KRAS mutant tumors. Patients received AUY922 at 70 mg/m\^2 weekly infusions. arm 3: Patients exhibiting both mutations were stratified to the KRAS mutation stratum. Patients received AUY922 at 70 mg/m\^2 weekly infusions. arm 4: Patients with NSCLC who have tumors with an inversion in the short arm of chromosome 2 that results in the fusion of the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene with the ALK gene leading to the production of an EML4-ALK fusion tyrosine kinase. ALK is a transmembrane protein, which has a kinase domain and is not usually expressed in the lung. EML4 mediate ligand-independent dimerization, and therefore constitutive activity of the ALK tyrosine kinase domain. Patients received AUY922 at 70 mg/m\^2 weekly infusions. arm 5: The modified EGFR stratum was defined as patients less heavily pretreated who had received one or two lines of prior therapy, with a documented response to a EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) for ≥ 6 months), unless the patient had de novo resistance to EGFR TKI. Patients received AUY922 at 70 mg/m\^2 weekly infusions.

Interventions: intervention 1: AUY922
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: AUY922 was supplied in individual 10 mL amber colored glass ampoules containing 10 mL of a 5 mg/mL active drug substance in 5% aqueous glucose solution. AUY922 was administered intravenously (i.v.) weekly at 70 mg/m2.
