Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

Part A

2. Patients should have received and failed at least one line of cytotoxic chemotherapy including a platinum-based regimen in patients eligible for platinum-based therapy and pemetrexed in pemetrexed eligible patients (unless pemetrexed is not considered a regulatory or clinical standard of care e.g. no label indication, no availability or no coverage by 3rd party payer(s)) for advanced or metastatic disease and have progressive disease following at least 12 weeks of treatment with erlotinib or gefitinib
3. Patients pretreated with taxane-based chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease must have experienced stable disease, partial or complete response as best response
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance Score 0 or 1.
5. Patients with at least one tumor lesion that can accurately be measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) in at least one dimension with longest diameter to be recorded as 10 mm but no less than double the slice thickness according to RESIST 1.1.
6. Male and female patients no less than 18 years of age.
7. Life expectancy of at least three (3) months.
8. Written informed consent that is consistent with ICH-GCP guidelines. Part B 1) Clinical benefit (disease stabilization or antitumor response) of 12 weeks duration in Part A of the trial determined on the second tumour assessment.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multi-center trial is to determine the efficacy of BIBW 2992 given as an add-on to chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC Stage IIIb or IV progressing after BIBW 2992 monotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in this patient population. Patients on both treatment arms will receive best supportive care in addition to study treatment. Patients enrolled into the trial will be treated and followed until death or lost to follow-up. Additional information on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) will be collected.
