About this study

Official title: Open-label Study of Bevacizumab (AVASTIN®) in Combination With Platinum-containing Chemotherapy as First-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This observational trial is designed to assess the safety profile and tolerability of bevacizumab when combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

It is an observational study for the safety and tolerability of the combination of bevacizumab with chemotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic and recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. We try to evaluate the safety of bevacizumab in real life population with lung cancer. For patients with performance status 0-1 platinum based chemotherapy was recommended and acceptable doses of bevacizumab was either 7.5 or 15 mg/kgr. Safety profile was evaluated with Common Toxicity criteria v 3.0. Especially for bevacizumab we evaluate specific situations as thrombotic or hemorrhagic events, hypertension, albuminuria, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Unresectable Malignant Neoplasm, run by University of Athens at 1 site in Greece.

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 7 inclusion and 17 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 8 Dec 2014. 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 Greece. 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.

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?

Number of adverse events during 24 months of follow-up (time frame: 24 months). 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 8 Dec 2014.
