About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Bevacizumab Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Subjects With Advanced, Previously Untreated, Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of carboplatin/paclitaxel+bevacizumab in subjects with locally advanced (Stage IIIb with pleural effusion/pericardial effusion), Stage IV, or recurrent squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease.

What participants receive

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

  • BevacizumabDrug

    15 mg/kg administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21- to 28-day cycle, beginning on Cycle 3

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Dose based on Calvert formula, on Day 1 of each 21- to 28-day cycle for a total of 6 cycles

  • PaclitaxelDrug

    Dose based on patient's body surface area, on Day 1 of each 21- to 28-day cycle for a total of 6 cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Grade ≥3 Pulmonary Hemorrhage Adverse Events

    To estimate the rate of National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), Version 3.0, Grade ≥3 pulmonary hemorrhage adverse events. Per NCI CTCAE v.3: "Grade 3 = Transfusion, interventional radiology, endoscopic, or operative intervention indicated; radiation therapy (i.e., hemostasis of bleeding site); Grade 4 = Life-threatening consequences; major urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5 = Death."

    Measured: First bevacizumab administration until 60 days after discontinuation of bevacizumab or death

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Selected Adverse Events

    Selected treatment-emergent adverse events for any grade of pulmonary hemorrhage, any grade of non-pulmonary hemorrhage, any grade of gastrointestinal perforation, Grade ≥ 2 arterial thromboembolic events, Grade ≥ 2 left ventricular systolic dysfunction, Grade ≥ 3 proteinuria, and Grade ≥ 3 hypertension. Refer to NCI CTCAE v.3 for grading definitions.

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) occurring in any of the above categories are included. See the Serious Adverse Events section below for full SAE reporting.

    Measured: First bevacizumab administration until 60 days after discontinuation of bevacizumab or death

  2. Adverse Events That Led to Discontinuation of Bevacizumab

    Any treatment-emergent adverse event leading to study treatment discontinuation

    Measured: First bevacizumab administration until 60 days after discontinuation of bevacizumab or death

  3. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from enrollment to the time of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred earlier. PFS was determined for only those patients that received bevacizumab.

    Summary of PFS (median) was estimated from Kaplan-Meier curve. The 95% confidence interval (CI) for the median was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, 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 8 inclusion and 26 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 11 May 2010. 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 6 Apr 2010). 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?

Incidence of Grade ≥3 Pulmonary Hemorrhage Adverse Events (time frame: First bevacizumab administration until 60 days after discontinuation of bevacizumab or death). 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 11 May 2010.
