About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label Study to Explore the Correlation of Biomarkers With Response Rate in Chemo-naive Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Who Receive Treatment With Avastin in Addition to Carboplatin-based Chemotherapy

This study will explore the correlation of biomarkers with response rate, and the overall efficacy and safety, of Avastin in combination with carboplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to one of 2 groups, to receive either Avastin 7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle, or Avastin 15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle; all patients will also receive treatment with carboplatin and either gemcitabine or paclitaxel for a maximum of 6 cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Dichotomized Baseline Plasma Marker Level

    Overall response was analyzed and correlated within dichotomized (low- and high-level) baseline plasma biomarker (basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF], E-selection, intracellular adhesion molecule [ICAM], placental growth factor [PlGF], vascular endothelial growth factor A [VEGF A], vascular endothelial growth factor receptor [VEGFR]-1, and VEGFR-2) subgroups: low-level equals (=) less than or equal to (≤) median baseline level, high-level=greater than (>) median baseline level. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.0 CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR defined as greater than or equal to (≥)30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease; no new lesions. Complete and partial responses must have been confirmed no less than 4 weeks after criteria for response were first met

    Measured: Baseline, Day 21 of Cycles 2, 4, and 6 (Bv + chemo), Day 21 of Cycles 7, 8, 9, and 10 (Bv), Day 21 of every other cycle (Bv), and at disease progression.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Progression-Free Survival - Percentage of Participants With an Event

    PFS was defined as the time between randomization and progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST criteria, or death due to any cause. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started. Disease progression was evaluated according to the RECIST using computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, X-ray, bone scans, or clinical examination. Participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression. Participants with no post baseline follow-up for progression were censored at the day of randomization.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, weekly to disease progression

  2. Progression-Free Survival - Time to Event

    PFS was defined as the time between randomization and disease progression or death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression. Participants with no post baseline follow-up for progression were censored at the day of randomization. Disease progression was evaluated according to the RECIST using CT scans, MRI scans, X-ray, bone scans, or clinical examination. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, weekly to disease progression

  3. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

    Percentage of participants with CR or PR according to RECIST criteria. Per RECIST v1.0: CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of the LD of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. Complete and partial responses were confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 21 of Cycles 2, 4, and 6, Day 21 of Cycles 7, 8, 9, and 10, Day 21 of every other cycle, and at disease progression

  4. Percentage of Participants With Measurable Disease at Baseline Who Achieved CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD) for at Least 6 Weeks

    Percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline who on assessment achieved CR, PR, or SD according to RECIST. Per RECIST v1.0: CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of the LD of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. SD defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since start of treatment. Complete and partial responses must have been confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met. For participants with SD, follow-up assessments must have met the SD criteria at least once after study entry at a minimum interval of 6 weeks.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 21 of Cycles 2, 4, and 6, Day 21 of Cycles 7, 8, 9, and 10, Day 21 of every other cycle, and at disease progression

  5. Duration of Response - Percentage of Participants With an Event

    Duration of response is defined as time in months from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. Participants without an event (documented progression or death) were censored at the date of last follow-up for progression. Duration of response was only calculated for participants who had a confirmed objective tumor response (CR or PR).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 21 of Cycles 2, 4, and 6, Day 21 of Cycles 7, 8, 9, and 10, Day 21 of every other cycle, and at disease progression

  6. Duration of Response - Time to Event

    The median time, in months, from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. Participants without an event (documented progression or death) were censored at the date of last follow-up for progression. Duration of response was only calculated for participants who had a confirmed objective tumor response (CR or PR). Median Duration of Response was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 21 of Cycles 2, 4, and 6 (Bv + chemo), Day 21 of Cycles 7, 8, 9, and 10 (Bv), Day 21 of every other cycle (Bv), and at disease progression.

  7. Overall Survival - Percentage of Participants With an Event

    Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization and death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the last time they were known to be alive. Overall Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, weekly to 28 days after last dose of study treatment, every 8 weeks thereafter to death due to any cause

  8. Overall Survival - Time to Event

    Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization and death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the last time they were known to be alive. Overall Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, weekly to death due to any cause, or to end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab [Avastin] and Carboplatin-based chemotherapy in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 59 sites in 16 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 59 sites in Russia, Australia, Hungary, Netherlands, Taiwan and 11 more countries. 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 Sep 2014). 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 a Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Dichotomized Baseline Plasma Marker Level (time frame: Baseline, Day 21 of Cycles 2, 4, and 6 (Bv + chemo), Day 21 of Cycles 7, 8, 9, and 10 (Bv), Day 21 of every other cycle (Bv), and at disease progression.). 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 Sep 2014.
