  Purpose

This randomised, open label phase III trial will be performed in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung with tumours harbouring an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor activating mutation. The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy of single agent BIBW 2992, Arm A, with Pemetrexed/Cisplatin chemotherapy, Arm B, as first line treatment for this group of patients.
