Written informed consent provided prior to any screening procedure
Male or female, greater than (\>) 18 years of age
Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Demonstrated PD on or after first-line chemotherapy for Stage IIIB/IV disease. The first-line therapy must consist of platinum-based regimens in combination with taxanes, gemcitabine or vinorelbine. Stage IIIB/IV participants must have measurable disease (tumor) without clinically significant pleural effusion unless the pleural effusion can be effectively drained prior to admission into the study

At least 1 measurable lesion according to the modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
Archived tissue or cytologic sample available for the determination of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression
Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
Life expectancy \>12 weeks
Adequate baseline organ functions, defined as: Serum creatinine less than or equal to (≤)1.5\*upper limit of normal (ULN). In case of borderline values for serum creatinine, creatinine clearance must be greater than or equal to (≥) 45 millimeters per minute (mL/min); Total bilirubin \<1.5\*ULN; Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5\*ULN (participants with liver metastases should have ALT/AST \<5\*ULN.); Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500per cubic millimeter(mm\^3); Platelet count ≥100000/mm\^3; Hemoglobin level ≥10 grams per deciliter
If procreative potential (male or female), willingness to use effective contraceptive methods for the duration of treatment and continuing for 2 months after the last dose. Participants of procreative potential are defined as any fertile male, or any female who has experienced menarche and who is not postmenopausal (defined as age-related amenorrhea ≥12 months) or who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy)
