What participants receive

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

  • Paclitaxel, Carboplatin and Bevacizumab,ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Carboplatin (L01XA02), Paxene (L01CD01), Avastin(L01XC07), Tarceva(L01XE03)

    4 cycles (or less in case of progression) with carboplatin AUC 6 -paclitaxel 200mg/m2 -bevacizumab 15 mg/kg i.v. At (early) progress Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg i.v. q 21 days plus Erlotinib 150 mg/day orally

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of erlotinib plus bevacizumab subsequent to the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab as determined by the maximum achieved disease control rate

    Measured: at 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of bevacizumab and erlotinib as determined by DCR; PFS; RR

    Measured: at 6, 12 and 27 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel, Carboplatin and Bevacizumab,Erlotinib in people with Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and NSCLC, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 25 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 15 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy of erlotinib plus bevacizumab subsequent to the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab as determined by the maximum achieved disease control rate (time frame: at 18 weeks). 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 15 Jul 2013.
