About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Erlotinib With Bevacizumab in Chemotherapy Naïve Performance Status (PS) 2 Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The strategy for combining therapeutic agents in cancer treatments has been successful in multiple tumor types, including NSCLC. Erlotinib and bevacizumab target different pathways involved in tumor growth. Nonclinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of bevacizumab and erlotinib results in greater efficacy than either agent alone. Furthermore, because there is little to no overlap in toxicity profile between the two agents, the combination is expected to be well tolerated and may provide even greater benefit for patients who are unable to receive cytotoxic therapy.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.

  • Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV on day 1
  • Erlotinib 150 mg po qd days 1-21
  • Disease Assessment during even numbered cycles

If no progressive disease observed, continue (combination or single agent- see below) until unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease.

If progressive disease observed, treatment will be discontinued.

  • Cycles will be repeated every 21 days up to a total of 6 cycles.
  • Patients with non-progression after 6 cycles may stay on therapy (single agent erlotinib or the combination) until progressive disease or intolerable toxicity (at the physician discretion).
  • Patients who require discontinuation of bevacizumab may receive at investigator's discretion erlotinib alone on study until progression.
  • Patients who require discontinuation of erlotinib may receive at investigator's discretion bevacizumab alone until progression.

ECOG Performance Status 2

Hematopoietic:

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,000 mm3
  • Platelet count > 100,000 mm3
  • Hemoglobin > 8 g/dl

Hepatic:

  • Bilirubin < 2 X upper limit of normal.
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST, SGOT) < 2.5 X upper limit of normal or 5 X if liver involvement.

Renal:

  • Urine protein:creatinine ratio 1.0 at screening

Cardiovascular:

  • Blood pressure of < 150/100 mmHg.
  • No history of unstable angina.
  • No history of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure.
  • No history of myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration for protocol therapy.
  • No history of stroke within 6 months prior to registration for protocol therapy.
  • No clinically significant peripheral vascular disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib and Bevacizumab in people with Lung Cancer, run by Nasser Hanna, M.D. at 13 sites 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 15 inclusion and 10 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 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites 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 11 Feb 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?

To Establish Rate of Non-progressive Disease at 4 Months in Patients With Advanced NSCLC Who Have Been Designated PS2 by Their Treating Physician (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00367601, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Feb 2016.
