Brief summary:
The general aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib (BIBW 2992) alone and in combination with weekly paclitaxel or weekly vinorelbine (in patients who progress on afatinib monotherapy within this trial) as treatment in patients with HER2-overexpressing, metastatic breast cancer, who failed HER2-targeted treatment in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Patient to receive afatinib monotherapy at a dose of 40 mg/d until progression of their disease arm 2: Patients to additionally receive paclitaxel at a dose of 80 mg/m2 weekly on disease progression on afatinib monotherapy arm 3: Patients to additionally receive vinorelbine at a dose of 25 mg/m2 weekly on disease progression on afatinib monotherapy

Interventions: intervention 1: Vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 weekly intervention 2: Afatinib 40mg once daily (OD) intervention 3: Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Patients to additionally receive vinorelbine at a dose of 25 mg/m2 weekly on disease progression on afatinib monotherapy intervention 2: Patient to receive afatinib monotherapy at a dose of 40 mg/d until progression of their disease intervention 3: Patients to additionally receive paclitaxel at a dose of 80 mg/m2 weekly on disease progression on afatinib monotherapy

*  
 HER2-retesting on archived biopsies will be performed by a central laboratory. Inclusion into the trial will be based on documented HER2-status (see #7 
below) –No more patients will be screened after approval of amendment 6 
**  
All courses are 3 weeks in duration (21days). Patients may continue on treatment for unlimited courses, until the criteria for stopping medication are met 
***  
 If the decision to permanently discontinue BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy is taken during a scheduled visit, the EOT visit should be performed 
instead of the scheduled visit  
****  
Patients who discontinue BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy trial treatment permanently should have a follow-up visit 28 days after the EOT visit. See 
section 5.2.2.2 for AEs reporting during this period. 
 
*****  Patients who have not progressed and not started further treatment ( i.e. not started on combination treatment as described in Flowchart B, or other 
antitumour treatment outside of this trial) should have further follow-up visits every 6 weeks until progression or start of further treatment. 
#  
 The EOT, FU and all subsequent follow-up visits in Flow Chart A are only applicable to patients who are permanently withdrawn from the study during 
BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy.  
 
1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any protocol specific screening assessments are performed. Informed Consent must include consent 
to collection of demographic data and consent to obtaining and re-testing of archived biopsy material for HER2-status and blood samples for tumour 
markers. Inclusion will be allowed on documented HER2-positive status in patient’s files- All patients who signed the written informed consent 
before the approval of amendment 6 by  IRBs and IECs may continue in the trial- After approval of protocol amendment 6, no new informed 
consent must be signed as patient recruitment in part A will be stopped. 
2. Includes height (at screening only), respiratory rate, weight and body temperature. See section 5.2.5.1 for difference between a complete and limited 
physical examination  
3. A 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed at Screening, on Day 15 of Course 1, and then on Day 1 of every third course (Day 1 of 
Course 4, 7, 10 etc.), and at EOT (if not performed in the previous 8 weeks). 
4. ECHO or MUGA will be performed at Screening, on Day 1 of Course 4 and then at every third course (Course 7, 10, 13 etc.), and at EOT (if not 
performed in the previous 8 weeks). Note: LVEF assessment does not need to be repeated at the Screening Visit if there are valid results available from 
assessments which were performed as part of routine clinical practice within 28 days prior to start of treatment and the patient has given consent to 
utilising these results. 
5. Includes haematology, serum biochemistry, coagulation and urinalysis (Baseline and EOT Visits only). See Section 5.2.3.  
6. Pregnancy test is only to be performed if patient is of child bearing potential (See Section 3.3.3 exclusion criterion # 19). Also refer to Sections 5.2.2.2 
Pregnancy and 3.3.4 Removal of patients from therapy or assessments 
7. Archived tumour biopsy material to be collected at Screening Visit. The following tests will be done by the central laboratory: HER2 IHC and reflex 
FISH testing, HrR (ER and PgR) IHC including Allred.  
8. Tumour assessments should include CT scans of the chest and abdomen and, if clinically indicated, imaging of any other known or suspected sites of 
disease (e.g. breast, pelvis, brain) using an appropriate method (CT scan, MRI).  The same radiographic procedure must be used throughout the study 
(See Section 5.1.2). Bone scans and correlative imaging should be performed when clinically indicated.  Assessment will be performed at screening and 
then every 6 weeks, calculated from the start of treatment (i.e. 2 courses). In the event of early discontinuation or an interruption/delay to treatment, the 
tumour assessment schedule should not be changed. Brain metastases are considered as non-target lesions. A brain MRI should be performed at baseline 
in cases of clinically known, stable brain metastases. Brain MRI should be done of the respective lesion(s) at baseline and subsequently at every

imaging time-point. Tumour assessment does not need to be repeated at the screening visit if there are valid results available from assessments which 
were performed as part of routine clinical practice within 28 days prior to the start of treatment and the patient has given consent to utilising these 
results. Tumour assessment is not required at EOT visit if progressive disease has already been documented at scheduled imaging assessment. 
9. Only if treatment related or not resolved during 1st FU 
10. If patient has shown disease progression (based on the clinical judgement of the investigator) on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy the patient must 
commence combination therapy (i.e. VPC1V1) as soon as possible but within 21 days of documented progression (unless radiotherapy is required – see 
section 3.2). Refer to Flow Chart B below.

Abbreviations for Visit types: VPC = Course of combination treatment with BIBW 2992 (Afatinib) + either Paclitaxel or Vinorelbine before the 3rd May 2013 
or Course of combination treatment with BIBW 2992 (Afatinib) + Paclitaxel only for patient starting in part B after the 3rd May 2013 or, V = Visit, EOT 
= End of Treatment, Visit, FU = Follow-up Visit  
* 
 All courses are 3 weeks in duration (21days). Patients may continue on treatment for unlimited courses, until the criteria for stopping medication are 
met- All patients who have been screened in the trial before protocol amendment 6 approval by IRBs and IECs will be able to enter in part B of 
the trial if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for part B 
** 
If the decision to permanently discontinue trial treatment is taken during a scheduled visit, the EOT visit should be performed instead of the scheduled 
visit. From May 3rd, 2013, patients who will switch from the combination treatment Vinorelbine+Afatinib to Paclitaxel +Afatinib will have to 
undergo an EOT visit before the switch. Those patients will have a second EOT visit when they will permanently discontinue part B. See 
Section 3.1 
***    
 All patients should have a follow-up visit 28 days after the EOT visit. See section 5.2.2.2 for AEs reporting during this period. 
**** 
 Patients who have not progressed and not started further treatment should have further follow-up visits every 6 weeks until progression or start of 
further treatment. 
#  
The EOT, FU and all subsequent follow-up visits in Flow Chart B, are only applicable to patients who are permanently withdrawn from BIBW 2992 
(Afatinib) and vinorelbine/paclitaxel combination treatment.  
 
1. Includes height (at screening only), weight and body temperature. See section 5.2.1 for difference between a complete and limited physical examination 
2.  A 12-lead resting ECG will be performed on Day 1 of Course 1 of combination therapy and then on Day 1 of every third course (Day 1 of Course 4 
(VPC4V1), 7 (VPC7V1), 10 (VPC10V1) etc.), and at EOT (if not performed in the previous 8 weeks). 
3. ECHO or MUGA will be performed within 2 weeks of Day 1 of Course 1 of combination therapy and then on Day 1 of Course 4 (VPC4V1) and then at 
every third course (Course 7 (VPC7V1), 10 (VPC10V1), 13 etc.), and at EOT (if not performed in the previous 8 weeks).  
4. Includes haematology, serum biochemistry, coagulation and urinalysis (Baseline and EOT Visits only. See Section 5.2.3). Once patients are treated with 
paclitaxel or vinorelbine combination, weekly CBC need to be taken and results available and assessed prior to treatment.  
5. Pregnancy test is only to be performed if patient is of child bearing potential. Also refer to Sections 5.2.2.2 Pregnancy and 3.3.4 Removal of patients 
from therapy or assessments

6. Tumour assessments should include CT scans of the chest and abdomen and, if clinically indicated, imaging of any other known or suspected sites of 
disease (e.g. breast, pelvis, brain) using an appropriate method (CT scan, MRI).  The same radiographic procedure must be used throughout the study 
(See Section 5.1.2). Bone scans and correlative imaging should be performed when clinically indicated. During combination therapy assessment will be 
performed every 6 weeks calculated from the start of combination therapy (i.e. 2 courses). In the event of early discontinuation or an interruption/delay 
to treatment, the tumour assessment schedule should not be changed. Brain metastases are considered as non-target lesions. A brain MRI should be 
performed at baseline in cases of clinically known, stable brain metastases. Brain MRI should be done of the respective lesion(s) at baseline and 
subsequently at every imaging time-point. Tumour assessment is not required at EOT visit if progressive disease has already been documented at 
scheduled imaging assessment. 
7. 
A tumour assessment is not required to be repeated at VPC1V1 if it has already been performed at the point when PD was determined on BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) (Monotherapy) in Flow Chart A and is within 3 weeks prior to starting combination treatment. If radiotherapy is given prior to commencing 
combination therapy, a tumour assessment must be performed at VPC1V1 to document the baseline status at start of combination therapy. 
8. 
Paclitaxel 80mg/m2 i.v. or Vinorelbine 25 mg/m² i.v. will be administered weekly once a patient progressed on BIBW 2992 (Afatinib) monotherapy. 
Special inclusion /exclusion criteria apply. Each administration should be preceded by CBC assessment and measurement of weight and body 
temperature. Pre-medications should be applied per product labelling.  Refer to Section 4.  
9. Only if treatment related or not resolved during 1st FU

INTRODUCTION 
1.1 
MEDICAL BACKGROUND 
Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease in women in the Western world. In the 
US, more than 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and 
approximately a fifth will eventually die of the disease (R09-5656). 
Aberrant Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Human Epidermal Growth Factor 
Receptor (HER2) signalling has been causally associated with cancer cell proliferation and 
decreased survival (R08-1376, R08-1380, R08-1386). The HER2 proto-oncogene encodes a 
185 kDa transmembrane receptor kinase which is amplified and/or overexpressed in 25% - 
30% of human breast cancers. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the HER2 receptor leads to 
activation of specific signal transduction pathways including the ras/MAP kinase cascade 
with transduction pathways ultimately converging on the cell nucleus with activation of the 
receptor (R01-0299). The association between HER2-overexpression and poor prognosis in 
node-positive and advanced breast cancer has been shown by a number of studies (R06-0964, 
R08-1382, R08-1384, R08-1392, R08-1393, R08-1394, R08-1395, and R08-1396). Recent 
studies have also shown the prognostic value of HER2-overexpression in patients with node-
negative breast cancer (R08-1397). 
Based on this association between the members of EGFR/HER2 family and worse clinical 
outcome, antibodies and small molecules that specifically target these receptor tyrosine 
kinases were developed for therapeutic use. 
1.2 
DRUG PROFILE  
BIBW 2992 (afatinib) is a novel oral EGFR/HER2 inhibitor that offers the chance to control 
both recurrent as well as distant metastatic disease on an outpatient basis with continuous 
treatment. It is a potent, irreversible, combined EGFR/HER2 inhibitor both in vitro and in 
vivo1. Receptor tyrosine kinases other than the ErbB (Class I) family and non-receptor type 
tyrosine kinases were not inhibited. Continuous treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) has the 
potential to provide significant benefit to patients with advanced malignancies by inducing 
tumour responses or slowing of tumour progression and metastasis. Due to its mechanism of 
action, treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) will result in a more selective antitumour 
activity than classical cytotoxic chemotherapeutics which have an indiscriminate effect on all 
proliferating cells. BIBW 2992 (afatinib) final formulation is available in 20, 30, 40 and 50 
mg film-coated tablets to be used for clinical trials up to Phase III.  
The available clinical efficacy data for BIBW 2992 (afatinib) is based on phase I and phase II 
studies and indicate that patients with advanced solid tumours may benefit from BIBW 2992 
(afatinib). Three phase IIb/III and phase III trials in patients with advanced non-small cell 
lung cancer (NSCLC) and a phase III trial in breast cancer are currently ongoing. Objective 
responses have been observed to date in patients with metastatic NSCLC, breast cancer (BC),

 oesophageal cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and others in monotherapy and combination 
treatment in phase I and phase II trials (P09-10056,  P08-11756, P10-01317 and P09-10626). 
Ongoing and recently completed phase II studies show clinical activity of BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) in patients with EGFR mutation positive NSCLC and patients with HER2 positive 
breast cancer (U10-3047-01, U10-2018-01, U10-1598-01, U09-2463-03) 
Overall 14 patients with metastatic breast cancer were included in the Phase I BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) monotherapy trials. Of these 4 patients showed stable disease (SD) as best response 
to treatment with duration of at least 12 weeks in 3 patients and duration of 24 weeks in 1 
patient. Another five patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) were entered into Study 
1200.20, a Phase I BIBW 2992 (afatinib) trial in combination with docetaxel.  BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) was administered on days 2-4 following a docetaxel administration on day 1, in a 
21 day course. One mBC patient showed a complete response (CR), two a partial response 
(PR) while on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) treatment and another patient had stable disease.  
Full details of the clinical pharmacology, toxicology, clinical pharmacokinetics and safety 
data can be found in the current Investigator Brochure for BIBW 2992 (afatinib) (U03-3218)

RATIONALE, OBJECTIVES, AND BENEFIT - RISK 
ASSESSMENT 
2.1 
RATIONALE FOR PERFORMING THE TRIAL 
Patients who received neo-adjuvant and/or adjuvant HER2-targeted treatment will be 
recruited into this trial. Trastuzumab is currently registered as HER2-targeted treatment in the 
adjuvant and 1st line metastatic setting in combination with chemotherapy and as 
monotherapy in later lines of treatment of BC (R10-4385). Lapatinib is registered as 2nd line 
treatment in combination with capecitabine in HER2-pos. mBC patients after failure of 1st 
line trastuzumab therapy. Nevertheless both compounds are used outside of their registered 
indications (off-label) in earlier lines. One recently published trial showed benefit for the 
combination of both targeted agents even in heavily pre-treated mBC patients (U10-1491-01). 
The working hypothesis behind the combination of two targeted agents, trastuzumab, a 
monoclonal antibody (MAB) and lapatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is the different 
mode of action (MOA) leading to additive efficacy on different levels of signal transduction 
pathways, thus causing total HER2-inhibition. Most recently several trials used trastuzumab 
and lapatinib alone or in combination in the neo-adjuvant setting (NeoALTTO, Gepar-Quatro 
– R10-5364) or in the adjuvant setting (ALTTO – R10-5362) in combination with paclitaxel. 
If HER2-positive BC-patients already receive taxanes and both registered targeted agents 
early on in therapy, treatment options in the metastatic setting are limited. Once these patients 
relapse, they have a high unmet medical need for innovative therapeutics and treatment 
algorithms. Currently there are no therapies available for patients who failed total HER2-
blockade and little is known about the pathological mechanisms involved. Accordingly there 
is an urgent need to develop treatments for this patient population.  
BIBW 2992 (afatinib) is a dual irreversible EGFR/HER2-inhibitor and has shown clinical 
efficacy in HER2-overexpressing patients with metastatic breast cancer who failed prior 
trastuzumab treatment. This trial provided proof of concept to further evaluate BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) in a larger cohort of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients, who failed 
prior trastuzumab treatment. Moreover BIBW 2992 (afatinib) unlike lapatinib is an 
irreversible EFGR/HER2 inhibitor with clinical efficacy in EGFR driven tumours (P09-
06809). Preclinical data further support the efficacy of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) in trastuzumab 
resistant, HER2-positive (SUM 190 PT ) breast cancer cell lines and HER2-negative SUM 
149 PT): The latter suggests that heterodimerisation of ErbB receptors (HER2/EGFR) even in 
HER2-positive disease plays an important role (P09-08104, U09-1454-01, U09-1455-01) in 
tumour growth suppression of HER2-positive/trastuzumab resistant cell lines. BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) combines well with paclitaxel and vinorelbine preclinically and clinically (U03-
3218, U10-1491-01, P09-10626, and P09-05119) 
As BIBW 2992 (afatinib) has a different MOA from trastuzumab and lapatinib, shows 
monotherapy efficacy in heavily pre-treated patients comparable to that of 
trastuzumab/lapatinib combinations in the Blackwell trial (R09-4140) and clinically truly is a 
dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitor, BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy provides an interesting and 
rational treatment to these patients in 1st line mBC and the proposed trial design provides an 
interesting and rational alternative. In case patients don’t respond or relapse on monotherapy 
they may be “rescued” by addition of chemotherapy, i.e. paclitaxel weekly if the prior

paclitaxel-free interval is more than 12 months or vinorelbine in all other cases (only for 
patients commencing treatment with this combination prior to 03 May 2013). The latter 
is based on oncogene addiction which has let to the use of “Herceptin beyond progression” 
over the past two decades (R09-2787). The current trial will investigate the use of BIBW 
2992 (afatinib) beyond progression in breast cancer. 
2.2 
TRIAL OBJECTIVES 
This open label phase II study will investigate the efficacy and safety of BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) alone and in combination with weekly treatment with paclitaxel or vinorelbine (in 
patients who progress on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy only) as a new treatment 
algorithm in patients with HER2-overexpressing, metastatic breast cancer, who failed HER2-
targeted treatment in the neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant setting. 
2.3 
BENEFIT - RISK ASSESSMENT 
HER2-positive breast cancer still has a poor prognosis despite recent advances which came 
with the introduction of targeted trastuzumab treatment into therapy. Trastuzumab is a 
standard component of HER2 positive breast cancer treatment although its use is associated 
with cardiotoxicity. Patients develop resistance to trastuzumab or display primary resistance 
to trastuzumab during therapy or upfront, but still most patients continue trastuzumab beyond 
progression in combination with other cytotoxic drugs with some therapeutic benefit as there 
are not many options available. Lapatinib, a small molecule reversible, dual EGFR/HER2-
TKI is registered in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of 2nd-line HER2-
positive mBC.  
Both trastuzumab and lapatinib seem to complement each other by a slightly different MOA 
thus combination of both targeted treatments is supposed to give added benefit to patients. 
Still lapatinib clinically is not being developed in EGFR-driven malignancies whereas BIBW 
2992 (afatinib), a small molecule irreversible, dual EGFR/HER2 RTKI not only showed 
preclinical and clinical efficacy in trastuzumab resistance, but also showed clinical efficacy in 
EGFR-driven malignancies (P09-06809). In trastuzumab resistance, alternative pathways, 
among those the EGFR-pathway, play an important role. In patients, who received various 
targeted treatment options early in treatment once relapse/resistance develops, targeting these 
alternative pathways may become crucial for patients’ prognosis. As such BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) monotherapy treatment may provide a reasonable therapeutic approach in a 
scenario, where patients early on in therapy have received both registered HER2-targeted 
treatments and nonetheless relapse: For these patients at present there are no treatment 
recommendation/ algorithms available.

BIBW 2992 (afatinib) combines well with paclitaxel and vinorelbine. Side effects observed for this 
combination are consistent with what is known for either compound alone (see IB, U03-3218, to 
vinorelbine interim report (U10-1491-01) and to SmPC).The Data Monitoring Committee 
(DMC) of the LUX-Breast 1* trial (EUDRA CT No.: 2009-015476-98, NCT01125566) 
conducted a benefit-risk analysis as pre-specified in the clinical trial protocol. A DMC 
recommendation which was issued on 26 April 2013 concluded, that based on the 
benefit-risk analysis, treatment in the experimental arm (afatinib  40 mg + vinorelbine 
25 mg/m2 weekly i.v.) should be discontinued.  
The benefit-risk analysis was based on data from over half of the planned number of 
patients enrolled. The DMC concluded that there is a low likelihood of study 1200.75 
meeting the pre-defined criteria for increased efficacy in terms of PFS. In addition, a 
high rate of treatment discontinuations and dose reductions as well as a higher rate of 
serious adverse events and deaths was observed in the experimental arm compared to 
the control arm trastuzumab + vinorelbine. 
Boehringer Ingelheim and the Executive Committee of the trial agreed to follow the 
DMC’s recommendation and decided to stop further randomisation into trial 1200.75 
and to discontinue further treatment with the combination of afatinib and vinorelbine.

Since one of the treatment options in Part B of Trial LUX-Breast 2 is the combination of 
afatinib + vinorelbine, and in light of the unfavourable benefit-risk observed in 1200.75 
Boehringer Ingelheim decided as a precautionary measure to stop the inclusion of new 
patients into the afatinib + vinorelbine combination in Part B of LUX-Breast 2 on the 
3rd May 2013. Continuation of vinorelbine+ BIBW2992 (afatinib) can only be allowed 
for patients already on treatment before the 3rd May 2013 and benefitting from the 
treatment combination. For new patients this combination will no longer be offered 
after the 3rd May 2013. Part A of the trial and continuation of treatment with paclitaxel 
in Part B were not affected.  
 
Furthermore a decision has been made to stop further enrolment of new patients in Part 
A: 
-Afatinib+VNR Treatment in part B is no longer an option,  as the latter showed an 
unfavourable benefit/risk ratio in trastuzumab pre-treated patients leading to 
termination of the pivotal trial 1200.75. As a consequence the eligible patient population 
to be included in part A will narrow down, as patients receiving adjuvant/neoadjuvant 
paclitaxel are not readily rechallenged with paclitaxel when receiving 1st line mBC 
treatment. This will generate further difficulties for recruitment.  
- In addition since the trial 1200.98 started, pertuzumab/trastuzumab + docetaxel 
intended for patients who have not received prior treatment for metastatic breast 
cancer with an anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy, has been approved in 2012 and is 
becoming standard of care  wherever available. This will establish further hurdles for a 
timely recruitment into part A of trial 1200.98. 
-Approximately 60 out of 69 patients enrolled to date in this trial have received 
trastuzumab only based regimens as prior treatment in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant 
setting. By the time of approval of amendment 6, it is expected that approximately 80 
patients will have been treated in this trial. As only 9 patients have received lapatinib or 
a combination of lapatinib and trastuzumab as prior treatment so far, the efficacy 
analysis will be driven by trastuzumab pretreated patients. 80 patients will address the 
efficacy of afatinib in the trastuzumab-pretreated patients with a high statistical 
probability (see section 7.6 for details) 
In conclusion, the potential benefits to be expected from BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
monotherapy or its combination with paclitaxel weekly or vinorelbine weekly are likely 
to outweigh its risks in the population described.

DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND TRIAL POPULATION 
3.1 
OVERALL TRIAL DESIGN AND PLAN 
This is an open label study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of  BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) alone and in combination with weekly paclitaxel or weekly vinorelbine as treatment 
in patients with HER2-overexpressing, metastatic breast cancer, who failed HER2-targeted 
treatment in the neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant setting. All patients will start on BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) monotherapy. In case of progression of disease on monotherapy they will 
commence combination therapy as described above (also compare Figure 3.1:1 below). 
 
 
Figure 3.1: 1 
Schematic of Trial Design 
All patients will initially undergo a 2 week screening period during which time their 
eligibility will be confirmed. Eligible patients will receive 40 mg/day BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
monotherapy in 3-weekly treatment courses for treatment of HER2-overexpressing metastatic 
breast cancer (mBC) (1st line patients), until progression of disease (PD) assessed by 
RECIST (1.1) Refer to Flow Chart A and Figure 3.1:1 above. In the event of treatment-

related adverse events, BIBW 2992 (afatinib) doses will be reduced according to Dose 
reduction scheme (Table 4.1.4: 1). 
Patients showing disease progression on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy (then eligible 
for 2nd line mBC treatment) will then receive: 
- before the 3rd May 2013: chemotherapy, i.e. paclitaxel or vinorelbine weekly as 
decided by the investigator, which will be added to BIBW 2992 (afatinib).  
-after the 3rd May 2013: paclitaxel weekly, which will be added to BIBW 2992 
(afatinib). 
See Flow Chart B and Figure 3.1:1 above. Chemotherapy must commence as soon as possible 
but within 21 days of documented progression (unless radiotherapy is required – see section 
3.2). 
For patients on treatment with the combination of vinorelbine + BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
in Part B of the trial on the 3rd May 2013, the investigator should perform a thorough 
benefit-risk analysis to assess whether the patients may continue on this combination. 
The investigator should then discuss and agree this with the patient whether the 
combination will be continued: 
• Should the decision be to continue treatment with vinorelbine + BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) or to change the chemotherapy regimen from vinorelbine to paclitaxel, 
the patients will remain on trial and the investigator should document this in the 
patient’s notes (the patients will need to met the inclusion and exclusion criteria 
for paclitaxel to be able to switch treatment regimen).  
• Should the decision be to discontinue treatment with the combination, the 
investigator should document this in the patient’s notes and an EOT visit should 
be conducted.  Patients will need to be followed up as per protocol after the EOT 
visit. 
With protocol amendment 6 the sponsor will stop recruitment into the trial (part A), 
pending approval by IRBs and IECs. (See section 3.3.4.2 and Section11section 11). All 
patients who already signed the PIS/PIC when the recruitment is stopped will proceed 
as planned per protocol 
An early stopping rule will be implemented to minimise the number of patients treated if 
BIBW 2992 (afatinib) was ineffective in the given therapeutic setting. See Section 7.3.4.1 for 
further details.  
All patients will attend an End of Treatment (EOT) Visit when they discontinue the study 
treatment permanently. All patients will then have a follow-up visit 28 days after the EOT 
Visit. Following this, patients who still have not experienced disease progression and not 
started further treatment, will have further follow- up visits every 6 weeks until disease 
progression or start of further treatment.  
After a patient has completed participation in the trial, information on post-trial treatment, 
best response and vital status will be collected, if available.

The end of the study is when the last patient entered has either experienced a second disease 
progression or started further treatment. 
3.1.1 
 
Administrative structure of the trial 
The investigators participating in the trial must have experience in this type of trial and 
investigations.  
The co-ordinating investigator, who will sign the clinical trial report of this trial, has been 
appointed by Boehringer Ingelheim. The co-ordinating investigator has experience in this 
type of trial and investigations.  
Safety laboratory assessments and tumour marker assessments are performed at the 
investigator site. Analysis of HER2- and HrR status will be performed centrally by an 
authorized laboratory. The results of HER2-analysis don’t need to be available to confirm the 
eligibility of the patient for trial participation. They will be used for retrospective analyses 
only.  
Tumour images have to be assessed by the investigator at the site and will be used for clinical 
decisions on whether or not to continue treatment on study. 
There will be no Steering Committee or Data Monitoring Committee for this trial. 
All trial relevant documentation is stored in Boehringer Ingelheim’s Clinical Trial Master 
File (CTMF). Trial relevant documentation which has to be at the trial site is filed in the 
investigator site file (ISF) at the investigator site. 
On-site monitoring will be performed by Boehringer Ingelheim or a CRO appointed by 
Boehringer Ingelheim. It is intended to have a discussion on the early stopping of the trial and 
that this will not be based on a discussion with all investigators.  
 
3.2 
DISCUSSION OF TRIAL DESIGN, INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF 
CONTROL GROUP 
The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) alone and in combination with weekly treatment with paclitaxel or vinorelbine (in 
patients who progress on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy only) as first line treatment in 
patients with HER2-overexpressing, metastatic breast cancer, who failed HER2-targeted 
treatment in the neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant setting. Patients must be HER2-positive by 
documented HER2-status in their files, have been treated with prior HER2-targeted treatment 
and have archived tissue samples available for central re-assessment of HER2-status.   
Patients meeting the eligibility criteria will receive BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy at a 
dose of 40 mg/d until progression of their disease whereupon patients will additionally 
receive either paclitaxel weekly at a dose of 80 mg/m2 or vinorelbine at a weekly dose of 25 
mg/m2. From the 3rd May 2013 after progression on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy, 
patients will only be allowed to additionally receive paclitaxel weekly at a dose of 80 


Boehringer Ingelheim 
27 June 2013 
BI Trial No.: 1200.98 
Revised Trial Protocol

mg/m2 in part B of the trial. Patients will not be able to enter in the combination part of 
the trial (part B) and receive vinorelbine treatment (section 2.3). With protocol 
amendment 6 the sponsor will stop recruitment into the trial (part A), pending approval 
by IRBs and IECs. (See section 3.3.4.2 and section 11) 
Disease status will be assessed clinically by the investigator at the end of the first treatment 
course and each following treatment course. At the time of progression the investigator will 
decide which study chemotherapy treatment to add (i.e. paclitaxel or vinorelbine). Patients 
allocated to paclitaxel treatment must not have received paclitaxel treatment within a year of 
re-starting. Patients allocated to vinorelbine treatment should not have previously received 
vinorelbine treatment. 
If any metastatic sites associated with the first disease progression (i.e. progression on first 
line treatment with afatinib) require short course palliative radiotherapy, patients should 
continue on the afatinib monotherapy schedule (part A) whilst radiotherapy is administered. 
Details of the radiotherapy treatment administered should be documented on the CRF. 
Treatment with combination therapy (part B) should commence 3-4 weeks after completion 
of radiotherapy. Visit VPC1V1 should be performed prior to commencing combination 
therapy and should include a tumour assessment.  
Patients with clinical benefit will continue to receive BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy. If 
patients experience further disease progression after treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
and chemotherapy i.e., paclitaxel, or vinorelbine, they will be withdrawn from the study. All 
patients will have a Follow-up Visit, 28 days after the End of Treatment Visit. Patients who 
have not progressed and not started further treatment should have further follow-up visits 
every 6 weeks until disease progression or start of further treatment.   
After a patient has completed participation in the trial, information on post-trial treatment, 
best response and vital status will be collected, if available.

4.1.2 
Method of assigning patients to treatment groups 
All patients will initially receive first line monotherapy with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) until 
disease progression (With protocol amendment 6 the sponsor will stop recruitment into 
the trial (part A), pending approval by IRBs and IECs. (See section 3.3.4.2 and section 
11)).  
If disease progression occurs at any time, then patients will receive additional paclitaxel 
(providing the patient has not received paclitaxel in the past 12 months) or vinorelbine 
treatment (providing patient has not previously received Vinorelbine) as second line therapy. 
The decision to treat the patient with either paclitaxel or vinorelbine is left to investigator 
judgement. Disease progression can occur at any time during the trial and the decision to 
commence combination therapy is always based on investigator judgement. It may be based 
on clinical assessment only (e.g. at the end of course 1) or on both clinical judgement and 
tumour imaging. In any case before combination treatment is started tumour imaging should 
take place. Combination therapy should commence as soon as possible but within 21 days of 
documented progression on monotherapy (unless radiotherapy is required – see section 3.2). 
If there are no signs of PD patients will continue on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy. 
After the 3rd May 2013 after progression on BIBW2992 (afatinib) monotherapy, 
patients will only be able to additionally receive paclitaxel weekly at a dose of 80 mg/m2 
Patient will not be able to enter in the combination part of the trial (part B) and receive 
vinorelbine treatment. 
Patients are withdrawn from study treatment if their metastatic disease shows further 
progression whilst on the combination of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) and paclitaxel or BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) and vinorelbine (2nd progression on trial) and/or in case of undue AEs. 
4.1.3 
Selection of doses in the trial 
The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose for BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) in combination with either paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 or vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 weekly 
was determined at 40 mg in a continuous regimen. The decision to administer weekly 
paclitaxel is based on publications which demonstrate the efficacy of this regimen (R11-
0902). 
The starting dose of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) in this trial was determined at 40 mg/day for 
monotherapy. 20 mg and 30 mg tablets of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) are available in case a 
patients need to undergo dose reduction. See Section 4.1.4 below. (U03-3218, U10-1491-01) 
4.1.4 
Drug assignment and administration of doses for each patient 
For administrative purposes, treatment will be divided into treatment courses, which are each 
3 weeks (21 days) in duration. Patients will take a single oral dose of 40 mg BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) every day for the first course (21 days). 
The medication should be taken at the same time each day (± 2 hours) at least one hour 
before food intake and at least three hours after food intake. The tablet should be swallowed 
with a glass of water. BIBW 2992 (afatinib) tablets are film-coated and therefore should not

be chewed or crushed, but may if necessary, be administered via G-tube after dispersing the 
BIBW 2992 (afatinib) tablets according to the following procedure: Place the tablet into a 
glass containing 50 mL isotonic sodium chloride solution. Stir until the tablet is broken up 
into very fine particles (about 15 minutes). Drink the suspension immediately or administer 
via a gastric tube. Rinse the glass with another 50 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution and 
drink or administer the supplementary solution via the gastric-tube again (to pick up any drug 
remaining in the glass/gastric-tube). 
Missed doses of BIBW 2992 can be made up if taken within 6 hours of the regularly schedule 
time. Otherwise, the dose should be skipped and patients should take the next scheduled dose 
at the usual time. Patients with emesis should not take a replacement dose. 
In the event of treatment-related adverse events, the treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
should be handled according to the schedule in Table 4.1.4: 1

Dose reduction should always follow a treatment pause for drug related event. In the event of 
a treatment pause, subsequent visits/courses should not be delayed. 
Patients will discontinue treatment if they experience deterioration in left ventricular cardiac 
function (LVEF) to CTCAE Grade ≥3. 
In the event of a prolonged (≥7 consecutive days) Grade 2 drug-related event not listed in 
Table 4.1.4:1, which is poorly tolerated by the patient, the investigator may choose to pause 
the medication for up to 14 days to allow the patient to recover followed by a dose reduction 
according to the schedule in Table 4.1.4:1.In the event of adverse events or serious adverse 
events which are not related to treatment, the investigator may choose to pause the trial 
medication for up to 7 days to allow the patient to recover, but no dose reduction should 
occur. If the investigator chooses to delay the trial medication for more than 7 days, the 
afatinib doses and/or vinorelbine doses and/or paclitaxel doses will be missed and reasons 
will need to be documented in the eCRF. Treatment will be resumed at regular schedule 
thereafter and no dose reduction should occur. 
 
Vinorelbine & Paclitaxel 
Paclitaxel and Vinorelbine chemotherapy will be administered at the investigator site and will 
be prepared and administered in accordance with the respective current SmPC.  
Weekly chemotherapy will be administered within treatment courses of 3 weeks. 
Haematology should be checked prior to commencing each weekly infusion and treatment 
should be delayed if platelet count < 100,000/mm3 for combination treatment with 
vinorelbine or <100,000/mm3 for combination treatment with paclitaxel.  
The patient must be given supportive care during chemotherapy in accordance with the 
current SmPC and institutional guidelines for both paclitaxel and vinorelbine.  
In the event of treatment related adverse events, the treatment dose of vinorelbine/paclitaxel 
will be missed (see below) in accordance with the guidance in the current SmPC. A summary 
of the current SmPC is provided in the ISF.  
In the event of a missed dose due to adverse events, subsequent infusions and assessments 
will be done according to schedule (see Flow Chart B). 
In the event of adverse events or serious adverse events which are not related to treatment, 
the investigator may choose to delay the medication for up to 7 days to (i.e. to skip one dose 
of chemotherapy as well as BIBW 2992 (Afatinib) doses) allow the patient to recover, but no 
dose reduction should occur. If the investigator chooses to delay the medication for more than 
7 days, the dose (one chemotherapy dose as well as BIBW 2992 (Afatinib) doses) will be 
missed and reasons will need to be documented in the eCRF. Treatment will be resumed at 
regular schedule thereafter.

In the event of treatment related adverse events, the treatment dose of vinorelbine or 
paclitaxel will be skipped in accordance with the guidance in the current summary of product 
characteristics (SmPC). A summary of the current SmPC for paclitaxel and vinorelbine is 
provided in the ISF. In the event of a skipped infusion due to adverse events, subsequent 
infusions and assessments should be resumed according to the original schedule and the 
tumour assessment should be performed according to the original schedule. In case of 
myelotoxicity, administration of chemotherapy will be skipped until recovery, i.e. neutrophil 
counts >1500/mm³ and thrombocyte counts > 100000/mm³ for vinorelbine or for paclitaxel. 
In general, for vinorelbine no dose adaptations for liver metastases or renal insufficiency are 
needed. In cases of severe hepatic impairment a dose reduction of vinorelbine to 20 mg/m² is 
recommended per SPC/PI and may be applied after causes for severe hepatic impairment on 
trial have been discussed between the Sponsor and the investigator. Paclitaxel treatment 
needs to be adapted in case of hepatic impairment (see SmPC). Growth factor support will be 
allowed, following ASCO Guidelines (R09-0871). Treatment should be continued within the 
regular schedule.

CONCOMITANT THERAPY, RESTRICTIONS, AND RESCUE 
TREATMENT 
4.2.1 
Rescue medication, emergency procedures, and additional treatments 
Symptomatic treatments of tumour-associated symptoms are allowed. Treatment with 
corticosteroids and bisphosphonates are allowed. Concomitant medications, or therapy to 
provide adequate care, may be given as clinically necessary. Restrictions in Section 4.2.2 
apply. 
All concomitant (non-oncological) therapies starting or changing during the trial are allowed 
but should be recorded in the e-CRF except for vitamins, appetisers or nutrient supplements. 
Trade name, indication, dose and dates of administration will be documented. If patients 
receive parenteral nutrition during the trial, the components need not be specified in detail. It 
should just be indicated as “parenteral nutrition”. If a patient requires anaesthesia, it will be 
sufficient to indicate “anaesthesia” without specifying the details. 
Careful assessment of all patients with an acute onset and/or unexplained worsening of 
pulmonary symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, fever) should be performed to exclude Interstitial 
Lung Disease (ILD). 
Rescue medications to reverse the actions of BIBW 2992 (afatinib), paclitaxel and 
vinorelbine are not available.  Please refer to the current SPC for paclitaxel and vinorelbine 
and to the IB (U03-3218) for BIBW 2992 (afatinib) for further information. Side effects of 
trial medications should be treated symptomatically. Growth factor support, if required, will 
be used following ASCO Guidelines (R09-0871). 
The investigator brochure lists the AEs expected for treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
(U03-3218). Always refer to the most recent IB. Suggested treatments for diarrhoea, nausea, 
vomiting and rash/acne are described in Sections 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4 and 4.2.2.5. 
During study participation symptomatic treatment of tumour associated symptoms is allowed. 
Concomitant medications or therapy to provide adequate care may be given as clinically 
necessary. All concomitant (non-oncological) medications which are taken between trial   
informed consent and the last follow-up visit should be recorded in the electronic case report 
form (eCRF) with the start and end of treatment dates, the total daily dose, the respective unit 
and the reason for use. 
4.2.2 
Restrictions 
4.2.2.1 Restrictions regarding concomitant treatment 
Patients should not receive any additional experimental anti-cancer treatment, chemotherapy, 
immunotherapy, hormone treatment, maintenance therapy for metastatic breast cancer or 
radiotherapy within 4 weeks (within 2 weeks for hormone treatment) prior to receiving trial 
drug until the EOT Visit. Treatment with palliative radiotherapy (short course to non-target 
lesions) is allowed (see also section 3.2).

Patients should not receive any of the prohibited medications listed in the current SmPC or 
prescribing information (PI) for paclitaxel and vinorelbine.  
For BIBW 2992 (afatinib): Afatinib is a substrate of the P-gp transporter. Caution should be 
exercised when combining afatinib with P-gp modulators. For a list of potent P-gp inhibitors 
and inducers (see Appendix 4). 
For paclitaxel:  
Refer to current SmPC/PI (see ISF) 
For vinorelbine:  
Refer to current SmPC/PI (see ISF), special care should be taken when 
administered with inducers or inhibitors of CYP 3A4 (see Appendix 4) 
4.2.2.2  Restrictions on diet and lifestyle 
For BIBW 2992 (afatinib):  
In the event of diarrhoea, patients should be advised to avoid lactose-containing products or 
any foods known to aggravate diarrhoea. 
To prevent skin related adverse events: It is currently proactively recommended to avoid 
intense irradiation with UV light, e.g., sunbathing or visiting a solarium during the treatment 
period of the study and strict sun protection should be used. In case of sun exposure a 
sunscreen of Sun Protection Factor 15 (SPF 15) or higher, preferably containing zinc oxide 
should be used, preferably a thick, alcohol-free emollient cream. Harsh detergents should be 
avoided. 
For paclitaxel:  
Refer to the current SmPC/PI for details of any restrictions on diet and lifestyle. 
For vinorelbine: 
Refer to the current SmPC/PI for details of any restrictions on diet and lifestyle. 
4.2.2.3 Management of diarrhoea following treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib)  
Close monitoring and proactive management of diarrhoea is essential for successful treatment 
of patients with BIBW 2992 (afatinib). Early and appropriate intervention can prevent the 
development of more severe diarrhoea. In most cases, loperamide controls diarrhoea caused 
by BIBW 2992 (afatinib). Loperamide should be available at the start of therapy and kept 
with the patient at all times; it is therefore advisable that patients be given a prescription at 
the time of initiating treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib). Loperamide is considered as a 
Non Investigational Medicinal Product (NIMP). For loperamide use, please refer to the 
current SmPC/ PI 
The recommendations for management are as follows: 


Boehringer Ingelheim 
27 June 2013 
BI Trial No.: 1200.98 
Revised Trial Protocol 
Page 44 of 101 
 
 
• If any diarrhoea is experienced (CTCAE Grade 1), two 2 mg loperamide tablets 
should be taken immediately, followed by one 2 mg tablet with every loose bowel 
movement, up to a maximum daily dose of 10 tablets (20 mg). 
• Oral hydration is essential regardless of severity; appropriate rehydration (1.5 
l/m²/day plus equivalent of actual fluid loss) and electrolyte replacement has to be 
ensured in the event of CTCAE Grade 2 and Grade 3 adverse events. 
• For CTCAE Grade 2 or 3 diarrhoea lasting ≥ 2 days (48 hours) despite adequate 
antidiarrhoeal treatment, BIBW 2992 (afatinib) must be paused until recovery to 
CTCAE ≤ Grade 1. Upon recovery, BIBW 2992 (afatinib) should be resumed at a 
reduced dose according to the dose reduction scheme outlined in Table 4.1.4:1. 
The occurrence of diarrhoea and the outcome of treatment will be recorded in the AE section 
of the eCRF.  
If despite optimal supportive care and a treatment pause, diarrhoea does not resolve to CTC 
Grade ≤1 within 14 days, the patient must not receive any further BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
treatment. Restrictions given in Table 4.1.4:1, footnote 2 may apply. 
4.2.2.4  Management of nausea and vomiting following treatment with BIBW 2992 afatinib) 
Nausea and vomiting may significantly affect patients’ adherence to the treatment and their 
quality of life. In order to reduce the occurrence and the intensity of emesis, the patients 
should be treated according to the recommendation given in Table 4.2.2.4: 1.

Subcommittee of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in cancer (MASCC): Prevention of 
chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced emesis: Results of the Perugia Consensus Conference (R06-0986). 
2 
Baseline is defined as the CTCAE grade at the start of treatment. 
 
After a treatment pause the dose of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) should be reduced according to the 
dose reduction scheme in Table 4.1.4:1. 
The occurrence of nausea and/or vomiting and the outcome of treatment will be recorded in 
the AE section of the eCRF.  
In case of nausea and/or vomiting ≥ CTCAE grade 2, appropriate hydration (1.5 L/m²/day 
plus hydration deficit) must be ensured. 
4.2.2.5 Management of rash following treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
A proactive and early approach to management of rash is crucial. Rash can be managed by a 
variety of treatment options to relieve symptoms and reduce the rash.  
The recommendations for management are as follows: 
• 
General/Prevention: see Section 4.2.2.2 
• 
CTCAE Grade 1 rash: mild rash may not need treatment. However, if treatment is 
considered necessary, topical hydrocortisone (1% or 2.5%) cream and/or clindamycin 
1% gel can be used. 


Boehringer Ingelheim 
27 June 2013 
BI Trial No.: 1200.98 
Revised Trial Protocol 
Page 46 of 101 
 
 
• 
CTCAE Grade 2 rash: relief from major symptoms caused by CTCAE Grade 2 skin-
related adverse events should be achieved by a combination of local and systemic 
therapies including: 
 
1) Systemic antibiotics (e.g. doxycycline or minocycline etc.). 
 
2) Topical treatment (e.g. hydrocortisone 2.5% cream, clindamycin 1% gel, 
pimecrolimus  1% cream). 
 
And / or 
 
1) Antihistamines (e.g. diphenhydramine, etc.) 
 
2) Oral corticosteroid (low dose and short term i.e., <10 days treatment) may be added 
at investigator’s discretion. 
Systemic and topical treatment should be initiated at the start of CTCAE Grade 2 rash 
and continued until improvement or resolution to CTCAE Grade ≤1. If grade 2 rash 
persists for ≥ 7 days despite treatment and is poorly tolerated by the patient, the 
investigator may choose to pause treatment for up to 14 days followed by a reduction 
in the dose of BIBW 2992 (afatinib). 
• 
CTCAE Grade 3 (or greater) rash: may be treated in a manner similar to CTCAE 
Grade 2 rash. In the event of CTCAE Grade ≥3 rash, treatment with BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) should be paused until recovery to CTCAE Grade ≤1. Treatment should be 
resumed at a reduced dose (see Table 4.1.4:1). If CTCAE Grade ≥3 rash does not 
resolve to CTCAE Grade ≤1 within 14 days of stopping BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
treatment and despite optimal supportive care, the patient should not receive any 
further treatment with BIBW 2992 (afatinib). Restrictions given in Table 4.1.4:1, 
footnote 2 may apply. 
4.3 
TREATMENT COMPLIANCE 
Study medications will be given in accordance with the protocol and under the instruction of 
the site investigator. 
4.3.1 
BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
BIBW 2992 (afatinib): Patients treated with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) should take the first dose 
of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) treatment at the trial site and subsequent doses will be taken at 
home. A compliance check of trial medication should be performed on Day 15 of Treatment 
Course 1 and Day 1 of each subsequent course to ensure that the medication is being taken 
correctly. The patient should bring all remaining medication to the site and a compliance 
check should be performed. Discrepancies between the number of tablets remaining and the 
calculated number of tablets the patient should have taken should be documented and 
explained. At the end of each course any remaining medication should be collected. If the 
patient is eligible for a further course of treatment a new bottle should be dispensed.

Patients experiencing emesis should not take a replacement dose. BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
should not be taken more than once a day under any circumstances. 
Paclitaxel and vinorelbine: Chemotherapy will be administered at the trial site under the 
supervision of the investigator and in accordance with the current SmPC for both products. In 
the event that the patient does not receive the full dose of chemotherapy or a dose of 
chemotherapy is skipped this should be documented and a reason given. The compliance 
check for both treatments will include the infusion dose, time and date trial medication 
administered.

VARIABLES AND THEIR ASSESSMENT 
5.1 
EFFICACY - CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY OR PHARMACODYNAMICS 
5.1.1 
Endpoints of efficacy 
5.1.1.1 Primary endpoint 
The primary endpoint of this study for BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy and combination 
therapy is:  
-  
Objective Response (OR) assessed by RECIST 1.1 
5.1.1.2 Secondary endpoints 
The secondary endpoints for this study are:  
• Best overall response during each treatment period according to RECIST 1.1  
• Duration of objective response, defined as the time from first objective response to the 
time of progression or death. 
• Progression-Free Survival (PFS) will be defined for three time intervals: time from the 
date of the start of monotherapy to the date of 1st disease progression; time from the date 
of the start of combination therapy to the date of 2nd disease progression and the time 
from the date of the start of monotherapy to the date of 2nd disease progression. In each 
case, the date of death will be used if a patient died before the appropriate progression. 
The analysis will be based upon the evaluation of tumour imaging performed by the 
investigator using RECIST Version 1.1.  
• Safety assessed by the severity and incidence of adverse event according to Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTC s, AE Version 3.0), changes in vital signs 
and safety laboratory parameters

5.1.2 
Assessment of efficacy 
Efficacy will be evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 (R09-0262). Complete Response (CR), 
Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD) or Progressive Disease (PD) will be assessed by 
the investigator (Ref: Appendix 3 for RECIST 1.1 criteria)  
Every effort should be made to objectively evaluate tumour response and confirm this at a 
minimum of 4 weeks later using RECIST (1.1) tumour progression with radiological tumour 
imaging for all patients who enter into the trial, including those who discontinue prematurely. 
(Ref: Appendix 3 for RECIST 1.1 criteria)   
One to five target lesions (not exceeding two lesions per organ) should be identified at 
screening by Computed Tomography (CT) or MRI.  
Individual lesions detected at screening will be numbered and recorded in the eCRF. These 
lesions should be followed up with the same method(s) used at screening and the same 
numbering should be applied. The size of the target lesions will be recorded in millimetres. 
Tumour assessments should include CT scans of the chest and abdomen and, if clinically 
indicated, imaging of any other known or suspected sites of disease (e.g. breast, pelvis, brain) 
using an appropriate method (CT scan, MRI).  The same radiographic procedure should be 
used throughout the study. Assessment will be performed at screening and every six weeks    
(i.e. 2 courses) thereafter. If a patient develops a condition that does not allow to continue 
tumour assessment with CT scans, these scans may be substituted by MRI. Tumour 
assessment (CT scans) does not need to be repeated at the Screening Visit if there are valid 
results available from assessments which were performed as part of routine clinical practice 
within 28 days prior to start of treatment and the patient has given consent to utilising these 
results. In the event of early discontinuation or an interruption/delay to treatment, the tumour 
assessment schedule should not be changed. Brain metastases are considered as non-target 
lesions.  
Target lesions should be selected based on their size (those with the longest diameter) and 
suitability for accurate repeated measurements. All other lesions should be identified as non-
target lesions and will be recorded at baseline. The non-target lesions will be followed during 
the patient’s participation and will be taken into consideration when determining the patient’s 
response. Skin, brain and bone lesions should not be regarded as target lesions in this study. 
In case of skin lesions, these should be measured with a calliper and photographic 
documentation should be performed. However, skin lesion should not be considered as target 
lesions in this study. Patients exclusively showing skin metastasis will not be eligible for this 
study. 
Bone metastases are considered as non-target lesions. A bone scan should be performed at 
baseline in cases of clinical suspicion of previously unknown bone metastasis (e.g. bone or 
joint pain associated with relevant increases of calcium and alkaline phosphates). If the 
patient has known bone metastases or if bone metastases are detected at screening, correlative 
imaging (X-ray or CT scan) should be done of the respective lesion(s) at baseline and 
subsequently correlative imaging of known bone lesions should be performed at every 


Boehringer Ingelheim

Revised Trial Protocol 
Page 50 of 101 
 
 
imaging time-point. During study treatment, bone scans should be performed when medically 
indicated e.g. in case of suspected new bone metastases (Appendix 3). 
Brain metastases are considered as non-target lesions. A brain MRI should be performed at 
baseline in cases of clinically known, stable brain metastases. The brain MRI of the 
respective lesion(s) at baseline must be repeated subsequently at every imaging time-point.  
5.2 
SAFETY 
5.2.1 
Endpoints of safety 
Safety of BIBW 2992 (afatinib), paclitaxel and vinorelbine will be evaluated as indicated by 
intensity and incidence of adverse events, graded according to US NCI CTCAE Version 3.0 
(R04-0474).  
Safety endpoints include: 
• 
Events leading to permanent dose reduction 
• 
Events leading to permanent treatment discontinuation 
• 
The overall incidence and CTC criteria grade of adverse events, as well as relatedness 
of adverse events to treatment 
• 
Causes of death 
5.2.2 
Assessment of adverse events 
5.2.2.1 Definitions of adverse events 
Adverse event 
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, including an 
exacerbation of a pre-existing condition, in a patient in a clinical investigation who received a 
pharmaceutical product. The event does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship 
with this treatment. 
Serious adverse event 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any AE which results in death, is immediately 
life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability / incapacity, requires or prolongs 
patient hospitalisation, is a congenital anomaly / birth defect, or is to be deemed serious for 
any other reason if it is an important medical event when based upon appropriate medical 
judgement which may jeopardise the patient and may require medical or surgical intervention 
to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definitions. 
Intensity of adverse event 
The intensity of adverse events should be classified and recorded according to the Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 in the (e)CRF. 
 
 


Boehringer Ingelheim 
27 June 2013 
BI Trial No.: 1200.98 
Revised Trial Protocol 
Page 51 of 101 
 
 
Causal relationship of adverse event 
Medical judgment should be used to determine the relationship, considering all relevant 
factors, including pattern of reaction, temporal relationship, de-challenge or re-challenge, 
confounding factors such as concomitant medication, concomitant diseases and relevant 
history. Assessment of causal relationship should be recorded in the case report forms.  
Yes: 
There is a reasonable causal relationship between the investigational product 
 
administered and the AE.  
No: 
There is no reasonable causal relationship between the investigational product 
 
administered and the AE.  
The causal relationship must be provided by the investigator for all potential trial drugs, i.e. 
the BI trial drug (BIBW 2992 (afatinib)) and for all other trial drugs IMP or NIMP 
(paclitaxel, vinorelbine, loperamide). 
Worsening of the underlying disease or other pre-existing conditions 
Worsening of the underlying disease or of other pre-existing conditions will be recorded as an 
AE in the (e)CRF. 
Changes in vital signs, ECG, physical examination, and laboratory test results 
Changes in vital signs, ECG, physical examination and laboratory test results will be 
recorded as an AE in the (e)CRF, if they are judged clinically relevant by the investigator. 
Planned Hospitalizations 
Patients may be hospitalized during selected phases of the study as required per protocol, e.g., 
monitoring of trial drug administration or for administrative reasons. Hospitalizations for 
administrative reasons and other hospitalizations already planned at the Screening Visit need 
not be reported as an SAE in cases where they are performed "as planned". 
Protocol-specified significant events 
Although rare, drug-induced liver injury is under constant surveillance by sponsors and 
regulators and is considered a protocol-specified significant adverse event.  Timely detection, 
evaluation, and follow-up of laboratory alterations of selected liver laboratory parameters to 
distinguish an effect of the underlying malignancy on liver function from other causes is 
important for patient safety.  The following are considered as Protocol-specified significant 
events: 
 
Hepatic injury defined by the following alterations of liver parameters:  
 
o For patients with normal liver function (ALT, AST and bilirubin within 
normal limits) at baseline an elevation of AST and/or ALT >3 fold ULN 
combined with an elevation of bilirubin >2 fold ULN measured in the same 
blood draw sample. Patients showing these lab abnormalities need to be 
followed up according to section 10.5.2 of this clinical trial protocol and the 
“DILI checklist” provided in the ISF. 


Boehringer Ingelheim

o For patients with abnormal liver function at baseline an elevation of AST 
and/or ALT >5 fold ULN combined with an elevation of bilirubin >2 fold 
ULN measured in the same blood draw sample. Patients showing these lab 
abnormalities need to be followed up according to section 10.5.2 of this 
clinical trial protocol and the “DILI checklist” provided in the ISF. 
 
Protocol-specified significant events are to be reported in an expedited manner similar to 
Serious Adverse Events, even if they do not meet any of the seriousness criteria – for details 
please see section 5.2.2.2. 
 
If the investigator determines any protocol-specific significant event is related to study drug, 
the administration of the study drug must be managed according to section 4.1.4 of the 
protocol. 
 
5.2.2.2 Adverse event and serious adverse event reporting 
All adverse events, serious and non-serious, occurring during the course of the clinical trial 
(i.e., from signing the informed consent onwards through the observational phase) will be 
collected, documented and reported to the sponsor by the investigator on the appropriate 
CRF(s) / eCRFs / SAE reporting forms. Reporting will be done according to the specific 
definitions and instructions detailed in the ‘Adverse Event Reporting’ section of the 
Investigator Site File.  
For each adverse event, the investigator will provide the onset date, end date, CTCAE grade, 
treatment required, outcome, seriousness, and action taken with the investigational drug. The 
investigator will determine the relationship of the investigational drug to all AEs as defined in 
Section 5.2.2.1.  
Adverse events with onset within first administration of trial treatment and 28 days after last 
administration of chemotherapy and/or BIBW 2992 (afatinib) will be considered as on 
treatment. All AEs, including those persisting after end of study treatment must be followed 
up until they have resolved or have been sufficiently characterised or the clinical monitor and 
the investigator agree to not further pursue them. 
Serious and non-serious adverse events occurring later than 28 days after last administration 
of trial drug will only be reported in case they are considered drug-related or trial (procedure) 
related. 
The investigator also has the responsibility to report AEs occurring in a certain period (within 
28 days after last dose of trial medication or any drug related events) after a patient completes 
the trial. Any AEs reported to the sponsor during this phase must be documented in the safety 
database. 
If not stipulated differently in the ISF, the investigator must report the following events via 
telephone/fax or, if available in the trial, by Remote Data Capture (RDC) using the SAE form 
immediately (within 24 hours or the next business day whichever is shorter) to the sponsor: 
SAEs and non-serious AEs occurring at the same time as an SAE and/or which are medically 


Boehringer Ingelheim 
27 June 2013 
BI Trial No.: 1200.98 
Revised Trial Protocol 
Page 53 of 101 
 
 
related to the SAE(s), and protocol-specified significant events. With receipt of any further 
information to these events, a follow-up SAE report has to be provided. SAEs and non-
serious AEs must include a causal relationship assessment made by the investigator. 
BI has set up a list of AEs which are defined to be always serious. In order to support the 
investigator with the identification of these “always serious adverse events”, if a non serious 
AE is identified to be serious per BI definition, a query will be raised. The investigator must 
verify the description and seriousness of the event.  If the event description is correct, the 
item “serious” needs to be ticked and an SAE has to be reported in expedited fashion 
following the same procedure as above. The list of these adverse events can be found via the 
RDC-system. 
The SAE form is to be forwarded to the defined unique entry point identified for the BI OPU 
(country-specific contact details will be provided in the Investigator Site File). This 
immediate report is required irrespective of whether the investigational product has been 
administered or not and irrespective of causal relationship. It also applies if new information 
to existing SAEs or protocol-specified significant events becomes available.  
No significant AEs have been defined for this trial 
Pregnancy 
Patients who are not of childbearing potential due to being postmenopausal (2 years without 
menses) or surgical sterilisation (oophorectomy, hysterectomy and/or tubal ligation) do not 
need to use contraception. In case of any doubt estradiol, LH and FSH levels should be 
assessed. 
All other patients are considered to have childbearing potential and should use effective 
contraception throughout the study (i.e. from screening until  the following time points after 
end of study drug treatment: for at least 1 month after treatment has ended if the patient has 
received BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy, for at least 3 months after treatment has ended 
if the patient has been additionally treated with vinorelbine and for at least 6 months after 
treatment has ended if the patient has been treated with paclitaxel during the study). In any 
case continuing measures after ceasing study medication should be done based on the latest 
information available for the study drugs: IB (U03-3218) for BIBW 2992  (afatinib) and 
SPC/PI for paclitaxel and vinorelbine. 
In rare cases, pregnancy might occur in clinical trials. Once a female subject has been 
enrolled into the clinical trial, after having taken study medication, the investigator must 
report immediately any drug exposure during pregnancy to the sponsor. The study drug 
should be stopped and drug exposure during pregnancy has to be reported immediately 
(within 24 hours or next business day whichever is shorter) to the defined unique entry point 
for SAE forms of the respective BI OPU (country-specific contact details will be provided in 
the Investigator Site File). The outcome of the pregnancy associated with the drug exposure

5.2.3 
Assessment of safety laboratory parameters 
Blood samples will be collected at the time points specified in Flow Chart A and Flow Chart 
B and analysed in a laboratory facility at or close to the investigational site. Safety laboratory 
examinations include haematology and biochemistry. In case of neutropenia, blood will be 
examined as clinically indicated at the discretion of the investigator until recovery. 
For all patients receiving paclitaxel or vinorelbine, the decision to receive the next paclitaxel 
or vinorelbine infusion will be based on assessment of laboratory parameters. Therefore the 
results of these assessments should be available and assessed on the day of treatment prior to 
commencing treatment. Safety blood sampling should be taken within 48hrs prior infusion. 
Safety laboratory assessment may be performed according to local practice but must include 
at least the following parameters: 
Haematology (CBC) Red blood cell count (RBC), neutrophils, haemoglobin, white blood 
cell count (WBC) and differential, platelets. 
Biochemistry 
Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, creatinine, aspartate amino-
transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT), alkaline 
phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, urea, uric acid, 
creatine phosphokinase (CPK). In case of pathological CPK further 
evaluation (e.g., by Troponin assays, CK-ELPR and ECG exam) 
should be performed and the findings documented in the eCRF. 
Creatinine clearance will be estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault Formula 
utilising serum creatinine values (directly imputed in eCRF by data 
management). 
Coagulation 
International Normalised ratio (INR) 
Urinalysis 
pH, glucose, erythrocytes, leukocytes, protein, nitrite will be analysed 
by dipstick at baseline and EOT only. In case of abnormal findings, 
further evaluation (g/24 hrs urine sampling) should be performed and 
the findings documented in the eCRF. 
Pregnancy test 
β-HCG testing in urine or serum will be performed in women of  
 
 
 
childbearing potential. 
5.2.4 
Electrocardiogram 
A standard 12-lead resting ECG will be performed at the time-points specified in Flow Chart 
A and Flow Chart B i.e. at Screening, on Day 15 of Monotherapy Course 1, on Day 1 of 
every third monotherapy course (i.e. Day 1 of Course 4, 7, 10 etc.), on Day 1 of combination 
course 1 (VPC1V1), on Day 1 of every third combination therapy course (i.e. VPC4V1, 
VPC7V1 etc.) and at EOT (if not performed in the previous 8 weeks). The investigator 
should review the ECG data at the time of the visit and this will be used to make decisions on 
eligibility for the study and treatment.

5.2.5 
Assessment of other safety parameters 
5.2.5.1 Physical examination, ECOG performance score 
A physical examination will be performed at screening and at the time points specified in 
Flow Chart A and Flow Chart B.  
A full physical examination serves as a clinical tumour assessment and should include a 
cardiopulmonary examination, examination of the regional lymph nodes, abdomen, and an 
assessment of the mental and neurological status of the patient. Additional symptoms which 
have not been reported during a previous examination should be clarified. Wherever possible 
the same investigator should perform this examination. 
A limited physical examination should include a cardiopulmonary examination, a clinical 
tumour assessment, an examination of the regional lymph nodes and an examination of the 
abdomen. 
Measurement of height (in cm), body weight (in kg), respiratory rate and body temperature 
and the evaluation of the ECOG performance score will be performed at the time points 
specified in Flow Chart A and Flow Chart B.  
5.2.5.2 Left ventricular function 
Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) as measured by echocardiography or Multi Gated 
Acquisition Scan (MUGA) will be assessed at time points specified in the Flow Chart. The 
same method of measurement must be used throughout the study.  
Echocardiography (ECHO): Echocardiography will be performed to assess the LVEF 
according to the standard guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE). 
(R06-1414) 
MUGA scan: The MUGA scan is recommended for the assessment of diseases of the heart 
muscle. It is used for the monitoring of the ejection fraction of the cardiac ventricles, 
especially the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). 
Cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction assessment will be performed at screening. Further 
ECHO or MUGA scans will be performed on Day 1 of Monotherapy Course 4 and then at 
every third course during monotherapy (Course 7, 10, 13 etc.), at the start of combination 
therapy (VPC1V1) and then at every third course during combination therapy (VPC4V1, 
VPC7V1 etc.) and at EOT (if not performed in the previous 8 weeks). 
 
LVEF assessment does not need to be repeated at the Screening Visit if there are valid results 
available from assessments which were performed as part of routine clinical practice within 
28 days prior to start of treatment and the patient has given consent to utilising these results.

BIOMARKERS  
There will be no on-trial biopsies. All biomarker evaluations will be used to retrospectively 
confirm the patient’s HER2/hormone receptor status and are performed on archival tissue 
samples. The results of these tests are not required to confirm the patients’ eligibility to take 
part in the study. 
Archived tissue: 
Earlier studies showed that there are discrepancies of up to 23% when comparing HER2-ICH 
and FISH analyses between local and central labs (R09-6008; R09-6009; R09-6011). To 
assure that patients who had received and failed prior HER2-targeted treatment were truly 
HER2-positive when they received this, confirmatory HER2-tests will be performed on 
archival tissue by a central laboratory. The hormone receptor status will also be determined. 
Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumour slides from the primary tumour or 
metastasis should be provided to confirm the patient segment. The following tests will be 
done by a central laboratory: HER2 IHC and reflex FISH testing using a FDA -approved 
DAKO kit.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
6.1 
VISIT SCHEDULE 
This is an open-label study in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients meeting the 
inclusion and exclusion criteria and who have given their written informed consent are 
eligible for participation in the study.  
6.2 
DETAILS OF TRIAL PROCEDURES AT SELECTED VISITS 
Written informed consent must be obtained before any protocol specific screening 
assessments are performed.  
A treatment course lasts 21 days. Visit 1 takes place on the first day of each treatment course 
and will occur on the day after the preceding 21 day course. For BIBW 2992 (afatinib) 
monotherapy (see Flow Chart A) an intermediary visit is to be performed on Day 15 (+/- 2 
days) of the first treatment course only. If patients receive combination therapy with either 
paclitaxel or vinorelbine due to treatment failure on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy, the 
timing of the treatment courses re-starts at VPC1V1 and subsequent visits will occur weekly 
for administration of these treatments (see Flow Chart B). When progression on monotherapy 
is documented, combination therapy should commence as soon as possible but within 21 days 
(unless radiotherapy is required – see section 3.2). 
Note: Patients will not receive vinorelbine after the 3rd May 2013 unless they are already 
receiving vinorelbine treatment on that date and are showing benefit from the 
treatment in the opinion of the investigator (section 2.3). 
Patients may continue on treatment for unlimited courses, until the criteria for stopping 
medication are met (see Section 3.3.4). 
If the decision to permanently discontinue the study treatment is taken during a scheduled 
visit, the End Of Treatment (EOT) Visit should be performed as soon as possible instead of 
the scheduled visit (within 0 to 14 days after last treatment administration). 
All entered and treated patients should have a follow-up visit 28 days (+/-7 days) after the 
EOT visit. 
If a patient misses a visit and the patient reports to the investigator between the missed visit 
and the next scheduled visit, the missed visit should be performed. The current date and the 
reason for the delayed visit should be noted in the patients chart. The next visit, however, 
should take place at the scheduled time after the first administration of the trial drug in the 
respective treatment course. In the event of any interruption/delay of treatment, the tumour 
assessment schedule should not be changed (Vinorelbine or paclitaxel infusions in this case 
may need to be skipped). 
The investigations, as outlined in the Flow Charts, will be performed at the respective visits 
as described in detail in the following sections. Flow Chart A refers to treatment with BIBW 
2992 (afatinib) monotherapy. Flow Chart B refers to: the combination of BIBW 2992

(afatinib) and either paclitaxel or vinorelbine treatment. The switch from Flow Chart A 
(monotherapy) to Flow Chart B (combination therapy) occurs when the patient has disease 
progression on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy, which may occur at any stage during the 
patients’ participation in the study.  
PD on BIBW 2992 (afatinib) monotherapy must always be documented by imaging, 
regardless of when PD occurs. When PD is documented, combination therapy should 
commence as soon as possible but within 21 days (unless radiotherapy is required – see 
section 3.2) and the assessments performed at start of combination treatment should be for 
VPC1V1 (Flow Chart B).   
6.2.1 
Screening and run-in period(s) (Up to 14 days before start of treatment) 
Refer to Flow Chart A. 
All patients who signed the written informed consent before the approval of amendment 
6 by IRBs and IECs (See section 3.3.4.2 and section 11) may continue in the trial- After 
approval of protocol amendment 6, no new informed consent must be signed as patient 
recruitment in part A will be stopped.

STATISTICAL METHODS AND DETERMINATION OF 
SAMPLE SIZE 
7.1 
STATISTICAL DESIGN - MODEL 
The trial will be performed as a single arm open label study. Patients will receive BIBW 2992 
(afatinib) monotherapy until disease progression according to RECIST 1.1. Afterwards they 
will be treated with BIBW 2992 (afatinib) in combination with either paclitaxel or 
vinorelbine until a further disease progression according to RECIST 1.1. (See Figure 3.1:1)  
Note: Patients will not receive vinorelbine after the 3rd May 2013 unless they are already 
receiving vinorelbine treatment on that date and are showing benefit from the 
treatment in the opinion of the investigator (section 2.3). 
Patients will not be screened after protocol amendment 6 approvals by IRBs and IECs 
(See section 3.3.4.2 and section 11).  
 
7.2 
NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES 
All analyses in this study are descriptive and exploratory by nature. Any statistical tests are 
performed only to provide a statistical framework from which to view the results and 
providing aid for planning further studies. No formal statistical inferences are foreseen. 
7.3 
PLANNED ANALYSES 
Treated analysis sets (TRT) are defined for mono- and combination-therapy separately. The 
TRT for monotherapy comprises all patients who received at least one single dose of BIBW 
2992 (afatinib), and the TRT for combination therapy comprises all patients who received at 
least one dose each of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) and paclitaxel or BIBW 2992 (afatinib) and 
vinorelbine. 
Separate baselines will be defined for mono- and combination therapy and no pooling will be 
performed across the two parts of the study unless otherwise stated.  
No per protocol population will be used for analyses. However important protocol violations 
will be described. 
7.3.1 
Primary analyses 
Objective Response 
The primary analysis will estimate the proportion of patients who achieve objective response 
according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria for mono- and combination therapy separately. The 
individual response criteria will be relative to the respective baselines in each part and the 
rates will be presented using the respective TRTs. Objective response is defined as CR or PR 
and only confirmed responses will be considered. An exact 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence

interval will be calculated for the proportion of responders (R06-1080). Also, similar point 
estimates and exact confidence intervals will be calculated for each category (CR, PR, SD, 
PD and NE). 
Each patient will be assigned to one of the following categories based upon their best 
response during treatment in each part, as determined according to RECIST 1.1. 
• 
1 = CR (complete response) 
• 
2 = PR (partial response) 
• 
3 = SD (stable disease) 
• 
4 = PD (progressive disease) 
• 
9 = Not evaluable 
Objective response, determined without requiring confirmation, will be tabulated separately.  
 
7.3.2 
Secondary analyses 
None of the secondary endpoints which use RECIST 1.1 require confirmation. 
7.3.2.1 Key secondary analyses 
Best overall response 
Frequency tables will be presented for the best RECIST assessment achieved by each patient 
during each of the treatment periods in the order (from best to worst): complete response, 
partial response, stable disease, disease progression. 
Duration of objective response 
Time to objective response is defined as the number of days from the start of treatment to the 
first recorded objective response in each part. Duration of objective response is measured 
from the time of first objective response to the time of progression or death (or date of 
censoring for PFS).  
Descriptive statistics will be produced for the duration of objective response for mono- and 
combination-therapy separately. 
Progression-free survival 
Disease progression will be evaluated according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria (R09-0262). 
For patients with known date of progression (or death): 
• 
PFS [days] = earlier of date of progression or death – date of first administration + 1. 
Date of progression and date of first administration is referring to the respective part of the 
study (mono- or combination therapy).

PFS will also be defined for the following time interval: 
• 
PFS [days] = earlier of date of death or second progression – date of first 
administration of monotherapy + 1. 
PFS will be assessed based on the Kaplan-Meier method for each part separately. Point 
estimates together with confidence intervals (based on Greenwood’s method) will be 
provided for median PFS. Details of time points and censoring rules will be provided in the 
TSAP.

Interim analyses 
7.3.4.1 Early stopping rule 
An early stopping rule will be implemented in order to minimise the number of patients 
treated if BIBW 2992 (afatinib) were ineffective.  
When 20 evaluable patients (according to RECIST 1.1) have completed at least two courses 
of BIBW 2992 (afatinib) (or progressed during the first course), a meeting will be held to 
evaluate the objective tumour response rate and to decide whether to proceed with the trial or 
stop for futility. If at least 1 unconfirmed objective response is witnessed from all available 
information at the time, then the trial will continue to full accrual. If no unconfirmed 
responses are witnessed, the benefit-risk of continuing with the trial will be discussed. Details 
of the evaluation and decisions made at this meeting will be fully documented. The attendees 
at the meeting will be members of the BI trial team and the National Co-ordinating study 
investigators of each country.  As only one responder is required it is possible that this 
meeting may be held earlier.  
As long as assessment of the early stopping condition is still pending, recruitment of further 
patients will continue. 
Table 7.3.4.1: 1 shows that a minimal requirement of at least one responder (CR or PR) out of 
20 patients provides a chance greater than 87% of continuing to full accrual, if the underlying 
objective response rate is at least 10%. On the other hand, there would be a less than 19% 
chance of falsely continuing to full accrual, if the underlying objective response rate is below 
1%.

HANDLING OF MISSING DATA 
Patients will continue to be followed for progression after discontinuation of study treatment 
until they start new treatment. 
7.5 
RANDOMISATION 
This is an open-label non-randomised trial without a control group. No randomisation is 
involved in this trial. Eligible patients will be sequentially entered into the trial. 
7.6 
DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE 
40 patients would be expected to provide more than a 90% probability of observing at least 2 
responders and a nearly 80% probability of observing at least 3. This is based on a binomial 
probability with an assumed underlying ORR of 10%. 
Taking into account the additional condition that at least one responder needs to be among 
the first 20 patients, the probabilities change to approximately 85% for having at least 2 
responders among 40 patients overall and approximately 74% for having at least 3 responders 
overall. 
Taking into consideration the three lines of previous therapy from which patients are entered 
into this study (trastuzumab, lapatinib and trastuzumab +lapatinib), in order to have sufficient 
numbers to identify whether there is a previous therapy for which BIBW 2992 (afatinib) is a 
successful follow-on medication, it was planned that 120 patients will would be recruited. 
However, given that patients will not be enrolled/screened after protocol amendment 6 
approvals by IRBs and IECs (See section 3.3.4.2 and section 11), the total sample size is 
anticipated to be approximately 80 patients. 
A total sample size of 80 is expected to give an 82% probability of observing at least 6 
responders and a 91% probability of observing at least 5.

8.2 
DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE 
A quality assurance audit/inspection of this trial may be conducted by the sponsor or 
sponsor’s designees or by IRBs/IECs or by regulatory authorities. The quality assurance 
auditor will have access to all medical records, the investigator’s trial-related files and 
correspondence, and the informed consent documentation of this clinical trial. 
8.3 
RECORDS 
Case Report Forms (CRFs) for individual patients will be provided by the sponsor, via 
remote data capture. For drug accountability, refer to Section 4.1.8. 
8.3.1 
Source documents 
Source documents provide evidence for the existence of the patient and substantiate the 
integrity of the data collected. Source documents are filed at the investigator’s site. 
Data entered in the eCRFs that are transcribed from source documents must be consistent 
with the source documents or the discrepancies must be explained. The investigator may need 
to request previous medical records or transfer records, depending on the trial; also current 
medical records must be available. 
For eCRFs all data must be derived from source documents. 
8.3.2 
Direct access to source data and documents 
The investigator / institution will permit trial-related monitoring, audits, IRB / IEC review 
and regulatory inspection, providing direct access to all related source data / documents. 
CRFs/eCRFs and all source documents, including progress notes and copies of laboratory and 
medical test results must be available at all times for review by the sponsor’s clinical trial 
monitor, auditor and inspection by health authorities (e.g. FDA). The Clinical Research 
Associate (CRA) / on site monitor and auditor may review all CRFs/eCRFs, and written 
informed consents. The accuracy of the data will be verified by reviewing the documents 
described in Section 8.3.1. 
8.3.3 
Storage of records 
The sponsor must retain the essential documents according to the sponsor's SOPs. When it is 
no longer necessary for the trial site to retain the source documents and essential documents 
the sponsor must notify the head of the trial site. 
8.4 
LISTEDNESS AND EXPEDITED REPORTING OF ADVERSE EVENTS 
8.4.1 
Listedness 
To fulfil the regulatory requirements for expedited safety reporting, the sponsor evaluates 
whether a particular adverse event is "listed", i.e. is a known side effect of the drug or not. 
Therefore a unique reference document for the evaluation of listedness needs to be provided. 
For BIBW 2992 (afatinib), this is the current version of the Investigator’s Brochure (U03-

reference documents are to be provided in the ISF.  
8.4.2 
Expedited reporting to health authorities and IECs/IRBs 
Expedited reporting of serious adverse events, e.g. suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSARs) to health authorities and IECs/IRBs, will be done according to local 
regulatory requirements. Further details regarding this reporting procedure are provided in the 
Investigator Site File. 
8.5 
STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY 
Individual patient medical information obtained as a result of this trial is considered 
confidential and disclosure to third parties is prohibited with the exceptions noted below. 
Patient confidentiality will be ensured by using patient identification code numbers. 
Treatment data may be given to the patient’s personal physician or to other appropriate 
medical personnel responsible for the patient’s welfare. Data generated as a result of the trial 
need to be available for inspection on request by the participating physicians, the sponsor’s 
representatives, by the IRB / IEC and the regulatory authorities, i.e. the CA. 
8.6 
COMPLETION OF TRIAL 
The trial will be considered complete when the last patient completes the last follow-up 
visit.For EU countries: The EC/competent authority in each participating EU member state 
needs to be notified about the end of the trial (last patient/patient out, unless specified 
differently in Section 6.2.3 of the CTP) or early termination of the trial.

TUMOUR RESPONSE ASSESSMENT ACCORDING TO 
RECIST 1.1 
Response criteria for target lesions 
1.   Complete Response (CR): 
Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes 
(whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in short axis 
to <10mm) 
2.   Partial Response (PR): 
At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions 
taking as reference the baseline sum diameters 
3.   Progression (PD): 
At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, 
taking as references 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 a least 5mm (note: the appearance of one or 
more new lesions is also considered progression). 
4.   Stable Disease (SD): 
Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient 
increase to qualify for PD, taking as references the smallest sum 
diameters while on study 
 
Response criteria for non-target lesions 
1.   Complete Response (CR): 
Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of 
tumour marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in 
size (<10mm short axis) 
2.   Non-CR/ Non-PD: 
Persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) or/and 
maintenance of tumour marker level above the normal limits. 
3.   Progression (PD): 
Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions (Note: the 
appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered 
progression)

As the information on potent inhibitors and inducers of P-glycoprotein may evolve, it is 
important for the investigator to assess the status of each concomittant therapies and in case 
of questions contact BI clinical monitor. 
 
While caution needs to continue to be exercised in concomitant use of P-gp 
inhibitors/inducers with afatinib, based on new data from two drug-drug interaction (DDI) 
trials (U03-3218 version 13) investigating the effect of ritonavir and rifampicin, respectively, 
on 40 mg afatinib, their use in patients needing such therapies is no longer prohibited. It 
cannot be excluded that the plasma exposure to afatinib may increase under concomitant 
treatment with strong P-gp inhibitors. Conversely, strong P-gp inducers may decrease the 
plasma concentrations of afatinib. However, maximum observed effects are rather mild to 
moderate and could even be avoided for the potent inhibitor ritonavir when given 
simultaneously or 6 h after afatinib. Therefore caution has to be exercised when combining 
afatinib with potent P-gp modulators.

APPENDIX 5 
CLINICAL EVALUATION OF LIVER INJURY 
 
10.5.1 
Introduction 
Alterations of liver laboratory parameters, as described in section 5.2.2.1 (Protocol-Specified 
Significant Events), are to be further evaluated using the following procedures. 
10.5.2 
Procedures 
Any elevation of ALT/AST and bilirubin qualifying as laboratory alert should be confirmed 
using the initial sample if possible. 
 
If the alert is confirmed on initial sample, or it is not possible to repeat testing using initial 
sample, the following must be completed; 
 
1) Evaluate the patient within 48 hours and,  
 
2) Perform the following laboratory tests: 
   1. Repeat  of AST, ALT, bilirubin (with fractionation to total and direct)  
   2. Haptoglobin 
   3. Complete blood count and cell morphology 
   4. Reticulocyte count 
   5. CK 
   6. LDH 
   7.  Alkaline Phosphatase 
 
The results of these laboratory tests must be reported to BI as soon as possible. 
 
If the initial alert values (ie AST,ALT, and bilirubin) are confirmed on the second sample 
described as above, then an abdominal ultrasound or clinically appropriate alternate imaging  
(to rule out biliary tract, pancreatic or intrahepatic pathology, e.g. bile duct stones or 
neoplasm) must be completed within 48 hours.  
 
The findings from the hepatic imaging (including comparison to prior imaging if available) 
must be made available as soon as possible as part of the adverse event reporting process.  In 
the event the etiology of the abnormal liver tests results is not identified based on the imaging 
(e.g. biliary tract, pancreatic or intrahepatic pathology), then the “DILI checklist” must be 
completed.  Details of the “DILI checklist” are provided in the ISF.  The following 
assessments need to be performed in order to complete the “DILI checklist” and results will 
be reported via the eCRF: 
 
o obtain a detailed history of current symptoms and concurrent diagnoses and 
medical history according to the “DILI checklist” provided in the ISF; 
o obtain history of concomitant drug use (including non-prescription 
medications, herbal and dietary supplement preparations), alcohol use,

recreational drug use, and special diets according to the “DILI checklist” 
provided in the ISF; 
o obtain a history of exposure to environmental chemical agents (consider home 
and work place exposure) according to the “DILI checklist” provided in the 
ISF; 
o complete the following laboratory tests as detailed in the DILI checklist 
provided in the ISF: 
• Clinical chemistry 
alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase (serum)*, albumin, PT or INR, 
CK, CK-MB, coeruloplasmin*, α-1 antitrypsin*, transferrin*, amylase, 
lipase, fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides 
• Serology 
Hepatitis A (Anti-IgM, Anti-IgG), Hepatitis B (HbsAg, Anti-HBs, 
DNA), Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV, RNA if Anti-HCV positive), Hepatitis 
D (Anti-IgM, Anti-IgG), Hepatitis E (Anti-HEV, Anti-HEV IgM, RNA 
if Anti-HEV IgM positive), Anti-Smooth Muscle antibody (titer), Anti-
nuclear antibody (titer), Anti-LKM (liver-kidney microsomes) 
antibody, Anti-mitochondrial antibody, Epstein Barr Virus (VCA IgG, 
VCA IgM), cytomegalovirus (IgG, IgM), herpes simplex virus (IgG, 
IgM)*, varicella (IgG, IgM)*, parvovirus (IgG, IgM)*  
• Hormones, tumormarker 
TSH* 
• Haematology 
Thrombocytes, eosinophils 
*If clinically indicated (e.g immunocompromised patients) 
 
− 
Long term follow-up 
o Initiate close observation of subjects by repeat testing of ALT, AST, and 
bilirubin (with fractionation to total and direct) at least weekly until the 
laboratory ALT and or AST abnormalities stabilize or return to normal, then 
according to the protocol. Depending on further laboratory changes, 
additional parameters identified e.g. by reflex testing will be followed up 
based on medical judgement and Good Clinical Practices (GCP).  
and report these via the eCRF.

Description of change 
 
1 to 15. 
Stop the inclusion of new patients into 
the afatinib + vinorelbine combination in Part B 
of LUX-Breast 2 
 
Rationale for change 
 
1 to 15.   The Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) 
of the 1200.75 trial (LUX-Breast 1 - EudraCT # 
2009-015476-98, NCT01125566) conducted a 
benefit-risk analysis as pre-specified in the 
clinical trial protocol.  A 1200.75 DMC 
recommendation which was issued on 26 April 
2013 concluded,  that based on the benefit-risk 
analysis, treatment in the experimental arm 
(afatinib  40 mg + vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 weekly 
i.v.) should be discontinued.  
 
The benefit-risk analysis in trial 1200.75 was 
based on data from over half of the planned 
number of patients enrolled. The DMC concluded 
that there is a low likelihood of the study meeting 
the pre-defined criteria for increased efficacy in 
terms of PFS. In addition, a high rate of treatment 
discontinuations and dose reductions as well as a 
higher rate of serious adverse events and deaths 
was observed in the experimental arm compared 
to the control arm trastuzumab + vinorelbine. 
The sponsor and the Executive Committee of the 
trial agreed to follow the DMC’s recommendation 
and decided to stop further randomisation into 
the study and to discontinue further treatment 
with the combination of afatinib and vinorelbine.  
 
Since one of the treatment options in Part B of 
Trial LUX-Breast 2 is the combination of afatinib 
+ vinorelbine, BI decided as a precautionary 
measure to stop the inclusion of new patients into 
the afatinib + vinorelbine combination in Part B 
of LUX-Breast 2. Part A of the trial and 
continuation of treatment with paclitaxel in Part 
B was not affected by this urgent safety measure

11  Remove description of Afatinib bottle 
 
Rationale for change 
 
1 to 10 In addition the decision has been made to 
stop further enrolment of new patients in Part A 
as: 
-Afatinib+Vinorelbine Treatment in part B 
is no longer an option. This combination showed 
an unfavourable benefit/risk ratio in trastuzumab 
pre-treated patients leading to termination of the 
pivotal trial 1200.75. As a consequence the 
eligible patient population to be included in part 
A of trial 1200.98 will narrow down, as patients 
receiving adjuvant/neoadjuvant paclitaxel are not 
readily rechallenged with paclitaxel when 
receiving 1st line mBC treatment. This will 
generate further difficulties for recruitment.  
- In addition since the trial 1200.98 
started, pertuzumab/trastuzumab + docetaxel 
intended for patients who have not received prior 
treatment for metastatic breast cancer with an 
anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy, has been 
approved in 2012 and is becoming standard of 
care  wherever available. This will establish 
further hurdles for a timely recruitment even into 
part A of trial 1200.98. 
-Approximately 60 out of 69 patients 
enrolled to date in this trial have received 
Trastuzumab only based regimens as prior 
treatment in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant

setting. By the time of approval of amendment 6, 
it is expected that approximately 80 patients will 
have been treated in this trial. As only 9 patients 
have received lapatinib or a combination of 
lapatinib and trastuzumab as prior treatment so 
far, the efficacy analysis will be driven by 
trastuzumab pretreated patients. 80 patients will 
address the efficacy of afatinib in the 
Trastuzumab-pretreated patients with a high 
statistical probability (see section 7.6 for details)  
 
11  In the future, afatinib supplies for clinical 
trials might be switched to the marketed product. 
The bottle type might be different from an HDPE 
bottle (e.g. PP-bottle with more desicant )

INTRODUCTION
As per the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH E9) guideline (3), the purpose of 
this document is to provide a more technical and detailed elaboration of the principal features 
of the analysis described in the Clinical Trial Protocol (CTP), and to include detailed 
procedures for executing the statistical analysis of the primary and secondary variables and 
other data.
This Trial Statistical Analysis Plan (TSAP) assumes familiarity with the CTP, including 
Protocol Amendments. In particular, the TSAP is based on the planned analysis specification 
as written in CTP Section 7 “Statistical Methods and Determination of Sample Size”. 
Therefore, TSAP readers may consult the CTP for more background information on the 
study, e.g., on study objectives, study design and population, treatments, definition of 
measurements and variables, planning of sample size, randomisation.
SAS® Version 9.2 or higher will be used for all analyses.

ENDPOINTS
All endpoints in this study, except where specified, will be assessed separately for the 
monotherapy part of the study (Part A) and for the combination part of the study (Part B). 
These parts are defined in Section 6.1.
5.1
PRIMARY ENDPOINT
Objective response (with confirmation):
Best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response 
(PR) recorded since first administration of trial medication and until the earliest of disease 
progression, death or start of next treatment (either Part B combination therapy or new anti-
cancer therapy) in each part separately. Best overall response is the best overall response to 
trial medication (without clinical disease assessment) according to Response Evaluation in 
Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 (see Appendix 10.3 of the CTP) and is calculated 
relative to the baseline of each respective part.
Criteria for confirmation of best overall response are described by RECIST version 1.1 and in 
Section 5.1.2 of the CTP. 
5.2
SECONDARY ENDPOINTS
5.2.1
Key secondary endpoints 
Best overall response (with and without confirmation)
Defined as for objective response. For both confirmed and unconfirmed best overall response, 
stable disease (SD) needs to be observed >=35 days after the first dose in each part 
respectively.
See Section 6.6 for details on how missing or incomplete data (due to missed visits or 
blurred/unclear images) are handled for best overall response.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Assessed for three time intervals (see Section 6.1 for the start of monotherapy and
combination therapy definitions): 

Part A: time from the date of the start of monotherapy to the date of 1st disease 
progression or death

Part B: time from the date of the start of combination therapy to the date of 2nd disease 
progression or death

Whole study (Part A + Part B): time from the date of the start of monotherapy to the date 
of 2nd disease progression or death.
And defined for patients presenting with disease progression (according to RECIST version 
1.1) or death before start of new anti-cancer therapy, as the shortest duration of the following:


Boehringer Ingelheim 
TSAP for BI Trial No: 1200.98
Page 8 of 30
Proprietary confidential information © 2014 Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH or one or more of its affiliated companies

Date of disease progression - date of first administration of trial medication + 1,

Date of death - date of first administration of trial medication + 1;
where date of disease progression is the earliest of the following:

Date of imaging documenting progressive disease (PD),

Date of progression of disease, recorded at the follow-up visits, occurring prior to 
commencement of other anti-cancer therapy.
For patients not presenting with disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1 or 
death before start of new anti-cancer therapy, censoring will be applied according to the 
following:

Date of last assessment where patient was known to be progression-free and alive before 
start of new anti-cancer therapy - date of first administration of trial medication + 1.
For patients not presenting with disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1 or 
death and lost to follow-up before start of new anti-cancer therapy, censoring will be applied 
according to the following:

Date of last assessment where patient was known to be progression-free - date of first 
administration of trial medication + 1.
Further censoring information with regards to missing or incomplete data (due to missed 
visits or blurred/unclear images) values is given in Section 6.6 of this document.
PFS will only be based on tumour imaging data, i.e. clinical disease progression will not be 
considered.
Duration of objective response (without confirmation) [days]:
For patients presenting with unconfirmed objective response, the shortest duration of the 
following:

Date of disease progression - date of first assessment indicating objective response + 1,

Date of death - date of first assessment indicating objective response + 1,

Date of censoring for PFS - date of first assessment indicating objective response + 1
where objective response, date of disease progression and censoring details for PFS are 
defined earlier on in this section of this document.

GENERAL ANALYSIS DEFINITIONS
6.1
TREATMENTS
The following study periods based on actual start and stop dates of study treatment
administration are defined:

Screening: day of informed consent to day prior to starting afatinib monotherapy.

Part A: On-treatment (monotherapy): day of first administration of afatinib monotherapy
to day of last administration of afatinib monotherapy.

Post-treatment (monotherapy): day after last administration of afatinib monotherapy to 
either the 28th day after last administration of afatinib monotherapy or the day before the
first administration of study paclitaxel/vinorelbine, whichever occurs first.

Part B: On-treatment (combination therapy – if applicable): day of first administration of 
study paclitaxel/vinorelbine to day of last administration of afatinib or study 
paclitaxel/vinorelbine (whichever is later) in Part B.

Post-treatment (combination therapy – if applicable): day after last administration of 
afatinib or study paclitaxel/vinorelbine (whichever is later) in Part B to the 28th day after 
last administration of afatinib or study paclitaxel/vinorelbine (whichever is later) in Part 
B.

Post-study: 29th day after last administration of study treatment onwards. This includes 
patients in long-term follow-up.
For safety summaries data recorded up to and including 28 days after last administration of 
study treatment will be considered as on-treatment (i.e. the actual on-treatment and post-
treatment periods defined above will be combined into one ‘on treatment’ analysing treatment
for mono- and combination therapy separately).
6.2
IMPORTANT PROTOCOL VIOLATIONS
The following table defines the different categories of important protocol violations (IPVs). 
The final column describes which PVs will be used to exclude patients from the different 
patient analysis sets. Since a per-protocol analysis set is not defined for the analysis of this 
trial, patients are either excluded from “All” or “None” of the analysis sets.

PATIENT SETS ANALYSED
The following analysis sets will be defined for this trial:

SCR – Screened patients set
All patients screened for the trial who completed at least some screening procedures.

TRT A – Treated set (Part A)
This patient set includes all patients who were documented to have taken at least one dose 
of afatinib in Part A. 

TRT B – Treated set (Part B)
This patient set includes all patients who were documented to have had at least one dose 
of afatinib and one infusion of either study paclitaxel or study vinorelbine in Part B.
The treated sets for Part A and Part B will be used for all efficacy and safety analyses in parts 
A and B respectively.
6.5
POOLING OF CENTRES
All centres will be analysed together, with any centre effects being ignored. Country or 
region effects will also not be considered. 
6.6
HANDLING OF MISSING DATA AND OUTLIERS
In general, missing efficacy data will not be imputed and all reasonable efforts will be taken 
during the study to obtain such data. If missing data do occur though, they will be handled as 
follows:
For PFS, patients will be censored using date of first administration of trial medication in the 
following situations:

Baseline tumour assessment missing,

First two post-baseline tumour assessments immediately preceding disease progression or 
death missing or not evaluable.
For PFS and duration of objective response, patients will be censored using date of last post-
baseline assessment where patient was known to be progression-free in the following 
situation:


Boehringer Ingelheim 
TSAP for BI Trial No: 1200.98
Page 18 of 30
Proprietary confidential information © 2014 Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH or one or more of its affiliated companies

Two consecutive post-baseline tumour assessments missing or not evaluable (not 
including first two) immediately preceding disease progression or death.
A patient’s best overall response will be set to not evaluable (NE) in the following situations:

Missing baseline tumour evaluations,

No post-baseline tumour evaluations prior to or on day of PD, last dose+1 or death,

No protocol-specified post-baseline tumour evaluations (unless unscheduled tumour 
evaluation indicates PD in which case patients will be assigned a best overall response of 
PD),

Two consecutive protocol-specified post-baseline tumour evaluations missing or NE 
(unless prior tumour evaluation indicates CR, PR or SD or subsequent tumour evaluation 
indicates PD).
If a patient has died and the death date is missing or incomplete, then the earliest conceivable 
date will be imputed, given the available information.
If day of first histological diagnosis or first appearance of metastases is missing it will be 
imputed using ‘15’. If month of first histological diagnosis or first appearance of metastases 
is missing it will be imputed using ‘June’.
Missing or incomplete AE dates are imputed according to BI standards (see reference 
document 001-MCG-156 “Handling of missing and incomplete AE dates”).(1)
6.7
BASELINE, TIME WINDOWS AND CALCULATED VISITS
Baseline values for Part A will be the measurements taken most recently prior to first 
administration of afatinib in Part A. For patients entering Part B, baseline values will be the 
measurements taken most recently prior to first administration of study paclitaxel or study 
vinorelbine on day 1 of the combination treatment period. Note that for some procedures (e.g. 
ECOG performance status, vital signs, laboratory tests), this may be the measurement taken 
on the same day the patient starts their treatment in each part, but since the assessments are 
made before study drug administration, these are acceptable to use as baseline measurements.
Study day will be calculated relative to the date of the first administration of study drug. The 
day prior to first administration of study drug will be ‘Day -1’ and the day of first 
administration of study drug will be ‘Day 1’; therefore ‘Day 0’ will not exist. This will be 
performed separately for Parts A and B.
All data collected at a visit level will be presented according to the actual protocol visit it was 
measured at.

PLANNED ANALYSIS
All analyses, except where specified, will be performed on the TRT A and TRT B analysis 
sets for parts A and B respectively.
Patient disposition (number of patients screened, treated in Part A etc.) will be presented for 
all patients in the screened set. If applicable, the number of patients who will continue 
treatment at the time of reporting will be reported in the disposition table, separately. A 
patient is deemed to have completed the trial once they show progressive disease according to 
RECIST in Part B.
The frequency of patients with IPVs will be presented.
Descriptive statistics for continuous variables will generally be n (number of patients with 
non-missing values), mean, standard deviation (StD), minimum, Q1 (lower quartile), median, 
Q3 (upper quartile), maximum. In general, means, StDs, medians, Q1 and Q3 will be 
presented to one more decimal place than the raw data. Minima and maxima will be 
presented to the same number of decimal places as the raw data.
Tabulations of frequencies for categorical data will include all possible categories and will 
display the number of observations in a category as well as the percentage (%) relative to the 
respective population. As there are fewer than 100 patients in the study, percentages will 
generally be rounded to the nearest integer. A missing category will be displayed if there are 
actually missing values. Percentages will generally be based on all patients in the respective 
patient set whether they have non-missing values or not.
7.1
DEMOGRAPHIC AND OTHER BASELINE CHARACTERISTICS
Descriptive statistics and/or frequency counts as described in Section 7 will be presented for 
the following eCRF pages:

PRIMARY ENDPOINT
An exact binomial 95% confidence interval (Clopper-Pearson) will be calculated for the 
proportion of patients who achieve confirmed objective response (see Section 5.1) in each 
part separately. These point estimates and confidence intervals will be further presented by 
the subgroups defined in Section 6.4.
The objective response rate, determined without confirmation, will also be presented along 
with an exact 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence interval.
Additionally, confirmed objective response rates will be evaluated by a Bayesian approach. 
Further details are given in Appendix 9.1. 
7.5
SECONDARY ENDPOINTS

Key secondary endpoints
None of the secondary endpoints which use RECIST 1.1 require confirmation, except for SD.
Best overall response
Frequency tables and exact binomial 95% confidence interval (Clopper-Pearson) will be 
presented for the best RECIST assessment achieved by each patient during each of the 
treatment periods in the order (from best to worst): CR, PR, SD, PD, NE. This will be 
presented for both confirmed and unconfirmed responses.

PFS (as described in Section 5.2.2) will be assessed based on the Kaplan-Meier method for 
each part separately and point estimates together with confidence intervals (based on 
Greenwood’s method) will be provided for median PFS.
See Section 6.6 for censoring rules.
Duration of objective response
Descriptive statistics will be produced for the duration of objective response (see Section 
5.2.2) for parts A and B separately. The duration will only be calculated for those patients 
with an objective response. Duration of objective response will also be summarised using 
Kaplan-Meier plots.
Frequency counts of time to objective response by planned imaging week will also be 
presented.

Total treatment time therefore includes time when treatment was temporarily discontinued 
and subsequently reintroduced. Categorisations for total treatment time are defined for Part A 
as follows:

1 - 21 days, 

22 - 42 days,

43 - 84 days,

85 - 126 days,

If there is discordance between the date of last intake of afatinib and study chemotherapy, the 
latest date will be used for the calculations in Part B and the overall summary.
7.8
SAFETY ANALYSIS
All safety analyses will be performed on the respective treated set and presented for parts A 
and B separately.
7.8.1
Adverse events
The analyses of AEs will be descriptive in nature. All analyses of AEs will be based on the 
number of patients with AEs (not the number of AEs). For this purpose, AE data will be 
combined in a 2-step procedure into AE records.
In a first step, AE occurrences, i.e. AE entries on the CRF, will be collapsed into AE episodes 
provided that all of the following applies:

The same Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) lowest level term was 
reported for the occurrences.


Boehringer Ingelheim 
TSAP for BI Trial No: 1200.98
Page 23 of 30
Proprietary confidential information © 2014 Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH or one or more of its affiliated companies

The occurrences were time-overlapping or time-adjacent (the second occurrence started 
before or one day after the end of the first occurrence).

Treatment did not change between the onset of the occurrences or treatment changed 
between the onset of the occurrences, but no deterioration was observed for the later 
occurrence.
In a second step, AE episodes will be condensed into AE records provided that the episodes 
were reported with the same term on the respective MedDRA level and that the episodes are 
assigned to the same treatment. For further details on summarisation of AE data, please refer 
to the guideline 'Handling and summarization of adverse event data for clinical trial reports 
and integrated summaries' (2)
The analysis of AEs will be based on the concept of treatment emergent AEs. That means 
that all AEs occurring between first drug intake until 28 days after last drug intake will be 
assigned to either mono- or combination therapy (depending on the date of onset). Since 
times are not collected for AEs, any AEs occurring on the first day of Part B will be assigned 
to combination therapy. All adverse events occurring before first drug intake will be assigned 
to ‘screening’ and all adverse events occurring after last drug intake + 28 days will be 
assigned to ‘post-treatment’ and presented in listings only. For details on the treatment 
definitions, see Section 6.1.
An overall summary of AEs will be presented. This summary will exclude the rows ‘Severe 
AEs’, ‘Significant AEs’ and ‘Other significant AEs’ but will include additional rows for ‘AEs 
leading to dose reduction’ and ‘AEs by maximum CTCAE’ grade.
The frequency of patients with adverse events will be summarised by maximum CTCAE
grade (and overall), treatment, primary system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) for 
each of the following AE tables:

AEs overall.

Drug related AEs.

AEs leading to dose reduction.

AEs leading to treatment discontinuation.

Serious AEs.

Drug related AEs leading to treatment discontinuation.

Drug related and serious AEs

AEs leading to death.

Non-serious AEs
The PTs will be sorted by descending incidence within SOC.
The above tables except for AEs leading to death will be repeated replacing SOC and PT with
project defined grouping of AE terms for selected incidence rates. Details of the project 
defined groupings are defined in the technical TSAP.
Additional AE tables showing time at risk, frequency counts and 95% confidence intervals, 
outcomes, consequences, maximum CTCAE grade, time to first onset and time to 
discontinuation will be produced for three of the project defined groupings (diarrhoea, rash 


Boehringer Ingelheim 
TSAP for BI Trial No: 1200.98

and stomatitis), and for AEs of special interest including 'Renal insufficiency', 'Leukopenia', 
‘Neutropenia’ and 'Neuropathy'. Note that the leukopenia group will not contain cases of 
neutropenia since these are being presented separately.
All of the tables described above will be produced separately for AEs assigned to parts A and 
B. See Section 6.1 for the treatment period definitions.
7.8.2
Laboratory data
The analyses of laboratory data will be descriptive in nature and will be based on BI 
standards (4). CTCAE grades will be applied to laboratory parameters using the current BI 
oncology standard as detailed in the document ‘Conversion of laboratory parameters to 
CTCAE grades within BI’ (5).
Descriptive statistics of all laboratory values by visit will be provided including changes from 
baseline. Frequency tables of transitions relative to the reference range and of possible 
clinically significant abnormalities will be produced. For those parameters that have CTCAE
grading, possible clinically significant abnormalities are defined as those laboratory values 
with a CTCAE grade ≥2 that have had an increase of ≥ 1 grade from baseline. For those 
parameters for which no CTCAE grade has been defined, standard BI project definitions will 
be used to decide on clinical significance.
Three further frequency tables will show:

the transition of CTCAE grade from baseline to worst value 

the transition from baseline to last value on treatment

the transition from worst value to last value on treatment.
In order to assess potential Hy’s law cases, scatter plots will be produced of peak ALT values 
versus peak total bilirubin values within 30 days of the ALT value. The following algorithm 
will be applied:

Identify all ALT values >= 3*ULN

Do any of these have a bilirubin value >= 2*ULN within 30 days of the observed peak 
ALT value?
→ if YES then keep the patient observation with the highest ALT value (along with the 
highest bilirubin value within 30 days).
→ if NO then keep the patient observation with the highest bilirubin value (along with the 
highest ALT value 30 days prior to this).
Similar plots will be produced for peak AST versus total bilirubin.
The focus of the laboratory data analysis will be on the following laboratory parameters:

Low values: haemoglobin, neutrophils, platelets, white blood cell count, magnesium, 
potassium.

High values: International Normalised Ratio, creatinine, AST, ALT, total bilirubin, 
alkaline phosphatase.

Clarified SAS® version 9.2 or higher
5.1
Efficacy was only to be assessed until 
the end of treatment in each respective 
part but to fully utilise all data 
collected, efficacy will now be assessed 
from start of treatment in each part to 
the start of next treatment (Part B or 
new anti-cancer therapy).
Missing data detail removed since 
covered in Section 6.6.
5.2.1 
and 
5.2.2
Moved endpoints from Secondary to 
Key Secondary in accordance with 
Section 7.3.2.1 of the CTP.
Added detail on confirmation for SD.
Removed ‘date of detection of new 
lesions’ from PFS section since this is 
covered by the ‘progressive disease’ 
bullet.
Removed “Date of last administration 
of trial medication-date of first 
assessment indicating objective 
response+1” bullet from “Duration of 
objective response” section since 
covered by censoring for PFS bullet.
Made other secondary endpoint 
definitions more specific.
 
 
 
6.1
Removed reference to radiotherapy 
period since it’s not a study treatment 
and the data are very limited.

Added PVs C2.3 “incorrect exposure to 
combination therapy” and G5 “Other 
protocol violations affecting patients’ 
rights or safety”.
Altered platelet count limit in G3 from 
75,000 to 100,000 /mm3 for treatment 
with vinorelbine in accordance with
