Official Title: A Dose-Finding Study Of Afatinib In Combination With Cisplatin Or Carboplatin + Pemetrexed In Patients With EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancers Undergoing Definitive Chemoradiation
Study ID: NCT01836341
Brief Summary: The purpose of this Phase I study is to test the safety of combining afatinib with standard chemotherapy and radiation. The drug afatinib will be given before the chemotherapy and radiation therapy to shrink the tumor and evaluate how afatinib affects the patient.
