Study terminated due to adverse events related to the combination therapy

The purpose of the Phase 1b part of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP2215 in combination with erlotinib and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ASP2215. The purpose of the Phase 2 part of the study was to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of the RP2D of ASP2215 in combination with erlotinib.

No patients were enrolled in the Phase 2 part of the study. Phase 2 endpoints were not analyzed.
