Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Afatinib (BIBW 2992) in Combination With Dasatinib
Time Frame:Up to 6 Months
Safety Issue:
Description:The MTD for this combined treatment will be defined as either: The highest dosage cohort in which six patients had been treated and there were less than two dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) or, Afatinib at the highest tolerated dose investigated (40 mg by mouth [PO] daily) plus dasatinib at the highest tolerated dose investigated (cohort 3, 140 mg PO daily).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of Participants With Objective Response
Time Frame:Up to 6 Months
Safety Issue:
Description:Estimates objective response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) in participants with acquired EGFR resistance
Measure:Median Progression Free Survival
Time Frame:Up to 6 Months
Safety Issue:
Description:Estimate the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate in participants with acquired EGFR resistance. Response Criteria for Phase 1B will follow RECIST v.1.1: Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
