From the first 176 patients investigated in the LUX-Lung 8 interim analysis (based on independent radiological review [IRR]), samples from patients that were in the upper and lower quartiles of maximum tumor shrinkage or had PFS > 6 months were selected. Upper and lower quartiles of maximum tumor shrinkage were investigated by an independent statistician. 2. From the data available for primary PFS analyses (based on IRR), all patients with a PFS > 2 months (censored or non-censored) were selected. For patients with a PFS ≤ 2 months and with progressive disease as the best overall response, 120 patients , i.e. 60 patients per treatment arm that were non-censored for PFS, were selected randomly.
As the enrichment process may lead to a bias in the statistical analysis, we always carefully interpreted HRs (afatinib vs erlotinib) in any given biomarker subgroup relative to the hazard ratio in the TGA subset and not the HR in the overall LUX-Lung 8 population.. Tumor samples from patients in China were not available for sequencing due to legal requirements, and had to be excluded from this analysis.
Statistical analysis The predictive potential of a binary biomarker variable B (alteration present/absent) was investigated using a Cox’s proportional hazard model. The hazard function of the ith patient is:
