About this study

Official title: Multimodality Treatment for Patients With Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (BEACON Study: Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy for Operable NSCLC)

This is a phase II, single institution trial for patients with clinical Stage IB-IIIA NSCLC (T1-3N0-2M0) who have resectable lung tumors. The primary goal of this study is to show that the addition of bevacizumab to a cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for non-squamous cell carcinomas improves the rate of pathologic downstaging, which correlates with survival. Downstaging is defined as any decrease in the final pathologic stage compared with the clinical stage before induction therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pre-surgical Treatment with Bevacizumab plus ChemotherapyDrug

    On Cycle 1 Day 1,patient will receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg. On Cycle 1 Day 15, patients receive docetaxel (75 mg/m2), cisplatin (75 mg/m2). Cycle 2 begins 21 days after administration of docetaxel and cisplatin in Cycle 1. In Cycles 2 thru 3, patients will receive 2 preoperative 21-day cycles of docetaxel (75 mg/m2), cisplatin (75 mg/m2), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg), all given on Day 1 of each cycle. The sequence of administration will be docetaxel, followed by cisplatin, followed by bevacizumab according to MSKCC Chemotherapy Guidelines. In Cycle 4 Day 1, patients will receive docetaxel (75 mg/m2) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2). Bevacizumab will not be given with Cycle 4. During Cycle 4, the only scheduled clinic visit will be on Day 1. Surgery will occur at least 42 days after the last treatment with bevacizumab. Every attempt will be made to administer the treatment on schedule. The treatment may be given +/- 3 days, and additionally 2 weeks after it is scheduled, if necessary.

  • Pre-Surgical Docetaxel and Cisplatin and Adjuvant BevacizumabDrug

    Patients will receive preoperative 21-day cycles of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) and docetaxel (75 mg/m2) both given on Day 1 of each cycle.Patients will undergo repeat CT imaging after 2 cycles of therapy and patients with at least 10% reduction in bidimensional tumor volume will receive 2 additional neoadjuvant cycles of therapy (total 4 cycles of therapy).Surgery will occur at least 4 weeks after the last treatment with docetaxel and cisplatin.Adjuvant bevacizumab (15 mg/kg q21 days for 1 year, total 18 cycles) will be administered to all patients who undergo resection. Adjuvant bevacizumab will begin between days 42 and 56 after surgery.Patients may be referred for post-operative radiation therapy at the discretion of the treating physician. Every attempt will be made to administer the treatment on schedule. The treatment may be given +/- 3 days, and additionally 2 weeks after it is scheduled, if necessary.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Primary Goal of This Study is to Show That the Addition of Bevacizumab to Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy in the Neoadjuvant Setting for Non-squamous Cell Carcinomas Improves Therapeutic Response/Outcome Assessment.

    These criteria have been modified for the purpose of this study (i.e.: there will be no confirmation of response at 4 weeks per usual response criteria as this is not applicable to the preoperative treatment plan): Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all clinical evidence of tumor. Partial Response (PR): A 50% or greater decrease in the sum of the products of measured lesions. No simultaneous increase in the size of any lesion or the appearance of new lesions may occur. Non-measurable lesions must remain stable or regress for this category. Minor Response (MR): A > 25% and < 50% decrease in the sum of the products of measured lesions. No simultaneous increase in the size of any lesion or the appearance of new lesions may occur. Non-measurable lesions must remain stable or regress for this category. Stable Disease (SD): A less than 25% decrease. This includes a decrease of less than 25% in the sum of the products of the meas

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pre-surgical Treatment with Bevacizumab plus Chemotherapy and Pre-Surgical Docetaxel and Cisplatin and Adjuvant Bevacizumab in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jan 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Primary Goal of This Study is to Show That the Addition of Bevacizumab to Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy in the Neoadjuvant Setting for Non-squamous Cell Carcinomas Improves Therapeutic Response/Outcome Assessment. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2016.
