What participants receive

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

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each of the first four 21-day cycles during chemotherapy, followed by single agent administration until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, discontinuation from study, or death.

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    Chemotherapy = cisplatin (or carboplatin) + etoposide. Cisplatin 75 mg/m² IV on Day 1 of each of the first four 21-day cycles OR carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC]=5 mg/mL/min, per Calvert formula) IV on Day 1 of each of the first four 21-day cycles; etoposide 100 mg/m² on Days 1-3 of each of the first four 21-day cycles.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo 15 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each of the first four 21-day cycles during chemotherapy, followed by single agent administration until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, discontinuation from study, or death.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Duration of PFS, defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or on-study death, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: Randomization until progression or lost to follow-up (up to 2 years)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Duration of overall survival from randomization until death or loss to follow-up

    Measured: Randomization until death or lost of follow-up (up to 27 months)

  2. Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response

    Objective response was defined as a complete or partial response (per RECIST) determined by two investigator assessments conducted at least 4 weeks apart.

    Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Incomplete Response (IR), Stable Disease (SD) (per RECIST):

    Target Lesions Non-Target Lesions New Lesions Overall Response CR CR No CR CR IR/SD No PR PR Non-PD No PR

    Measured: Randomization until progression or lost to follow-up (up to 2 years)

  3. Number of Participants With an Objective Response

    Objective response was defined as a complete or partial response (per RECIST) determined by two investigator assessments conducted at least 4 weeks apart.

    Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Incomplete Response (IR), Stable Disease (SD) (per RECIST):

    Target Lesions Non-Target Lesions New Lesions Overall Response CR CR No CR CR IR/SD No PR PR Non-PD No PR

    Measured: Randomization until progression or lost to follow-up (up to 2 years)

  4. Duration of Objective Response

    Duration of response was defined as time from the first response date to disease progression or on-study death (i.e., death occurring any time from randomization to 30 days after the final treatment with bevacizumab/placebo). Objective response was defined as a complete or partial response (per RECIST) determined by two investigator assessments conducted at least 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: Randomization until progression or lost to follow-up (up to 2 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy in people with 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 3 inclusion and 22 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 29 Apr 2011. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Feb 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Randomization until progression or lost to follow-up (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 29 Apr 2011.
