4. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 3, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from 2 to 10 parts of the one or more pharmaceutical disintegrants (c).

5. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 4 wherein the one or more pharmaceutical disintegrants (c) comprises low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose.

6. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 5, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from 0 to 0.25 parts of one or more pharmaceutical solubilising agents (d).

7. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 6, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from 5 to 50 parts of the mesylate salt of N-(2-{2-dimethylaminoethyl-methylamino}-4-methoxy-5-{[4-(1-methyl- indol-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}phenyl)prop-2-enamide.

8. A method of treating cancer in a patient in need thereof, which method comprises the oral administration to the patient of an effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 1.

9. A pharmaceutical tablet comprising the pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 1.

10. A pharmaceutical tablet comprising a tablet core wherein the tablet core comprises the pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tablet core has a coating.

11. A method of treating cancer in a patient in need thereof, which method comprises the oral administration of an effective number of the pharmaceutical tablet(s), as claimed in claim 9, to the patient.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the cancer is non-small cell lung cancer.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the cancer is non-small cell lung cancer.

14. The pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 6, wherein a pharmaceutical solubilising agent (d) is not present.

15. The pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 7, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from 7 to 30 parts of the mesylate salt of N-(2-{2-dimethylaminoethyl-methylamino}-4-methoxy-5-{[4-(1-methyl- indo-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}phenyl)prop-2-enamide.

16. A pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 1 comprising: (a) from 5 to 50 parts of the mesylate salt of N-(2-{2-dimethylaminoethyl-methylamino}-4-methoxy-5-{[4-(1-methylindol-3-- yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}phenyl)prop-2-enamide; (b) from 5to 96 parts of two or more pharmaceutical diluents; (c) from 2 to 15 parts of one or more pharmaceutical disintegrants; (d) from 0 to 0.75 parts of one or more pharmaceutical solubilising agents; and (e) from 0.5 to 3 parts of one or more pharmaceutical lubricants; wherein all parts are by weight and the sum of the parts (a)+(b)+(c)+(d)+(e)=100; wherein one of the two or more pharmaceutical diluents is microcrystalline cellulose wherein the microcrystalline cellulose makes up from 7 to 30 wt % of the two or more pharmaceutical diluents (b) and wherein in addition to microcrystalline cellulose, the other pharmaceutical diluent(s) within the two or more pharmaceutical diluents is/are selected from cellulose acetate, erythritol, ethylcellulose, fructose, inulin, isomalt, lactitol, lactose, maltitol, maltodextrin, maltose, mannitol, polydextrose, polyethylene glycol, pullulan, simethicone, sodium chloride, sorbitol, starch, sucrose, trehalose and xylitol; and wherein the one or more pharmaceutical disintegrants (c) comprises low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose and wherein the one or more pharmaceutical lubricants (e) comprises sodium stearyl fumarate and/or one or more behenate esters of glycerine.
