What participants receive

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

  • bevacizumabDrug

    Also called Avastin

    15 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on the first day of each 21- to 28-day cycle (± 4 days); the interval between infusions could not be < 17 days, but could extend beyond 28 days if chemotherapy was delayed to allow recovery from toxicity.

  • First-Line Chemotherapy AgentsDrug

    Carboplatin, cisplatin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, pemetrexed, or erlotinib administered on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle except gemcitabine, which was administered on Days 1 and 8 of every cycle. Agents were administered as a platinum doublet, or erlotinib alone, at the investigator's discretion. Chemotherapy was administered for a total of 6 planned cycles (up to 8 cycles with prior approval from the Medical Monitor), followed by single-agent bevacizumab therapy. The chemotherapy regimen was to be consistent throughout the study. Erlotinib was administered orally daily.

    All agents were dosed and administered per institutional standards using the respective package insert as a guideline.

  • Second-Line Chemotherapy AgentsDrug

    Erlotinib, pemetrexed, docetaxel, or chemotherapy at the investigator's discretion. Erlotinib was administered orally daily; pemetrexed and docetaxel were administered IV on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Single-agent bevacizumab therapy could be continued at the investigator's discretion if the second-line agent was discontinued.

    All agents were dosed and administered per institutional standards using the respective package insert as a guideline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (NCI CTCAE) Grade ≥2 Central Nervous System (CNS) Hemorrhage

    The percentage of participants with symptomatic NCI CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 CNS hemorrhage, defined as the presence of clinical symptoms determined by the investigator to be directly referable to a Grade ≥ 2 CNS hemorrhage.

    Grade 1: Asymptomatic, radiographic findings only Grade 2: Medical intervention indicated Grade 3: Ventriculostomy, intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, intraventricular thrombolysis, or operative intervention indicated Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; neurologic deficit or disability Grade 5: Death

    Measured: From the first administration of bevacizumab until 60 days after discontinuation of bevacizumab treatment was reported (up to 2 years)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall Survival (OS) in First-line Setting

    To assess overall survival in the subset of subjects treated in the first-line setting with bevacizumab plus either chemotherapy or erlotinib for non-squamous NSCLC with previously treated brain metastases.

    Measured: Time from enrollment to death from any cause (up to 2 years)

  2. Number of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) in First-line Setting [1-Year or More Survival]

    Number of Participants with overall survival in the subset of subjects treated in the first-line setting with bevacizumab plus either chemotherapy or erlotinib for non-squamous NSCLC with previously treated brain metastases.

    Measured: Time from enrollment to death from any cause (up to 2 years)

  3. OS in First-line and Second-line Settings

    To assess overall survival in the subset of subjects treated in the first-line setting with bevacizumab plus either chemotherapy or erlotinib for non-squamous NSCLC with previously treated brain metastases.

    Measured: Time from enrollment to death from any cause (up to 2 years)

  4. Number of Participants With OS in First-line and Second-line Settings [1-Year or More Survival]

    To assess the number of participants with overall survival in the subset of subjects treated in the first-line setting with bevacizumab plus either chemotherapy or erlotinib for non-squamous NSCLC with previously treated brain metastases.

    Measured: Time from enrollment to death from any cause (up to 2 years)

  5. Number of Participants With Selected Adverse Events

    Number of participants with selected adverse events (all grades based on NCI CTCAE) included any grade CNS hemorrhage, any grade pulmonary hemorrhage, any grade gastrointestinal (GI) perforation, Grade ≥ 2 arterial thromboembolic event, Grade ≥ 2 left ventricular systolic dysfunction, Grade ≥ 3 non-CNS non-pulmonary hemorrhage, Grade ≥ 3 proteinuria, Grade ≥ 3 proteinuria, Grade ≥ 3 hypertension, any serious adverse event*, and any adverse event leading to study treatment discontinuation.

    *For serious adverse events, please see Adverse Event Reporting Section.

    Measured: From start of bevacizumab treatment to 60 days following discontinuation of bevacizumab (up to 2 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab, First-Line Chemotherapy Agents and Second-Line Chemotherapy Agents in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Brain Neoplasms, run by Genentech, Inc..

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 7 inclusion and 23 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 6 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 22 Jun 2011). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (NCI CTCAE) Grade ≥2 Central Nervous System (CNS) Hemorrhage (time frame: From the first administration of bevacizumab until 60 days after discontinuation of bevacizumab treatment was reported (up to 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 6 Jan 2023.
