H3E-US-X072: Carboplatin, Bevacizumab and Pemetrexed in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to look for an improvement in progression free survival with the combination of bevacizumab, carboplatin and pemetrexed in patients with newly diagnosed advanced/metastatic non small cell lung cancer. Overall survival and safety will also be assessed.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Carboplatin: AUC 5 IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 Pemetrexed: 500mg/M2 IV over 10 minutes on day 1 Bevacizumab: 15mg/kg IV over 90 minutes on day 1 (if rate is tolerated the 2nd dose may be decreased to 60 minutes and subsequent doses to 30 minutes This regimen will be administered every 6 weeks for up to a maximum of 6 cycles if the patient tolerates the treatment and has stable disease. Bevacizumab will be continues if tolerated for up to 1 year at every 3 week intervals.
Folic acid 1mg by mouth daily, Vitamin B12 1000 ug IM every 9 weeks and Dexamethasone 4mg by mouth twice a day and and antiemetic may be prescribed by the physician investigator to help reduce side effects associated with the Pemetrexed. The Folic acid and Vitamin B12 will continue until 3 weeks after the end of treatment.
Physical exams, vital signs and blood work will be done prior to each chemotherapy cycle. A urine dipstick to check for protein in the urine will be done prior to the first treatment and before cycles 3 and 5. A CAT scan of the chest will be done pretreatment, prior to cycles 3 and 5 and at the end of treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression Free Survival [From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year").]
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year").
- Overall Survival [From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year").]
Overal survival was defined as time between the date of treatment assignment and the date of death
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants With Complete and Partial Tumor Responses [Patients were enrolled over a 24 month period for treatment visits. After end of treatment visits, subjects were seen or contacted every 3 months for survival data. Median follow up was 49 weeks (6 weeks to death.]
A complete response (CR),was disappearance of all target lesions on CT scan and absence of appearance of any new lesion was required. Partial response (PR) was assessed by at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions without appearance of any new lesions. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Patients were assessed to have stable disease if neither sufficient decrease to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, without appearance of new lesions. Patients who received one or more cycles were evaluable for response.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events [Subjects were seen or contacted every 3 months with medain follow up of 49 weeks.]
Measured by adverse events such as grade 4 toxicities, hospitalizations for toxicities, fever and neutropenia events, and clinically significant bleeding/thrombotic events.
