Description:
This is a phase 2 study (the second phase in testing a new drug) to see how useful an
investigational drug called afatinib is in patients with advanced cancer with changes in the
HER gene.
Afatinib is a drug that is approved by Health Canada for the treatment of advanced lung
cancer with changes in the HER gene. Afatinib works by attaching to and blocking a protein
called HER from working. HER is an important protein that contributes to the growth of cancer
cells.
