Time on Treatment With Afatinib or Chemotherapy During Second Line (2L) Treatment
Time on treatment was defined as the interval from the start of second-line treatment until discontinuation of second-line treatment for any reason, e.g. toxicity, progression, death, patient choice. The end of 2L treatment was defined as the date of last treatment order for afatinib plus the days of supply on the last known treatment order up to the date of data collection (but not exceeding). The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method was used to estimate the median and 95% confidence interval for time on treatment.
Time frame: From the start of second-line treatment until discontinuation of second-line treatment, up to 12.3 months for afatinib treated and up to 7.5 months for chemotherapy treated patients
Time on Treatment With Afatinib During Second Line (2L) Treatment Defined by Histology Status
Time on treatment was defined as the interval from the start of second-line treatment until discontinuation of second-line treatment for any reason, e.g. toxicity, progression, death, patient choice. The end of 2L treatment was defined as the date of last treatment order for afatinib plus the days of supply on the last known treatment order up to the date of data collection (but not exceeding). The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method was used to estimate the median and 95% confidence interval for time on treatment. Patients treated with afatinib were analysed for their histology status and categorized into a squamous cell - or mixed histology treatment group.
Time frame: From the start of second-line treatment until discontinuation of second-line treatment, up to 12.3 months for afatinib treated patients
Time on Treatment With Afatinib During Second Line (2L) Treatment Defined by Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Status
Time on treatment was defined as the interval from the start of second-line treatment until discontinuation of second-line treatment for any reason, e.g. toxicity, progression, death, patient choice. The end of 2L treatment was defined as the date of last treatment order for afatinib plus the days of supply on the last known treatment order up to the date of data collection (but not exceeding). The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method was used to estimate the median and 95% confidence interval for time on treatment.

Time frame: From the start of second-line treatment until discontinuation of second-line treatment, up to 12.3 months for afatinib treated patients
Number of Patients With Severe Immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs) of Specific Interest During Second-line Treatment
Chart abstractors (i.e. the patients treating physician) were asked to abstract information regarding severe (grade 3 or higher) irAEs of specific interest (including pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, higher indeterminate pulmonary events, death, or discontinuation of therapy due to toxicity) during first line (1L) treatment and second line (2L) for both patients treated with afatinib in 2L and those treated with chemotherapy in 2L. Providers/abstractors were asked only if these specific immune related events occurred.
Time frame: From the start of second-line treatment to the end of follow-up, up to 15 months
