Study Description

Brief Summary

This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin + gemcitabine, and Avastin

  • gemcitabine + attenuated doses of cisplatin, as first line treatment in elderly patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomised to receive either Avastin 7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 + gemcitabine 1200mg/m2 on days 1-8 of each 3 week cycle, or Avastin 7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 + cisplatin 60mg/m2 on day 1 + gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 on days 1-8 of each 3 week cycle. After 6 cycles of combination therapy, all patients will continue to receive Avastin monotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Alive and Without Progressive Disease at Month 6 [Month 6]

    Disease progression was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1 (v 1.1). Disease progression was defined at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm), progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death [Baseline; Day 15 of Cycles 3 and 6; Month 6 and then every 3 months until disease progression, death, or consent withdrawal (up to 53 months)]

    Disease progression was assessed according to RECIST criteria v1.1. Disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Baseline; Day 15 of Cycles 3 and 6; Month 6 and then every 3 months until disease progression, death, or consent withdrawal (up to 53 months)]

    PFS was defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the first documentation of progressive disease or death from any cause. Disease progression was assessed according to RECIST criteria v 1.1. Disease progression was defined at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. PFS was estimated using Kaplan Meier method.

  3. Percentage of Participants Alive at 12 Months After Randomization [1 year]

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Died [From randomization to death or end of the study (up to 53 months)]

  5. Overall Survival (OS) [From randomization to death or end of the study (up to 53 months)]

    OS was defined as the interval between the date of randomization and death from any cause. OS was estimated using Kaplan Meier method.

  6. Percentage of Participants by Best Overall Response [Baseline; Day 15 of Cycles 3 and 6; Month 6 and then every 3 months until disease progression, death or consent withdrawal (up to 53 months)]

    Best overall response was defined as the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence, assessed according to RECIST criteria v 1.1. Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to less than (<) 10 millimeter (mm) in short axis; Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesion, and no new lesions; Progressive Disease (PD): at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions; Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

  7. Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response [Cycle 3 Day 15, Cycle 6 Day 15 and at Month 6]

    Objective response was defined as having a CR or PR according to a RECIST criteria v 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions.

  8. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control [Cycle 3 Day 15, Cycle 6 Day 15 and at Month 6]

    Disease control was defined as having CR/PR/SD as per RECIST criteria v 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.

  9. Duration of Response (DoR) [Baseline; Day 15 of Cycles 3 and 6; Month 6 and then every 3 months until disease progression, death or consent withdrawal (up to 53 months)]

    DoR was defined for participants who had achieved an objective response (CR/PR) (whichever status was recorded first) as the time period from first documentation of a response to the date of first occurrence of investigator documented disease progression or death. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. Disease progression was defined as increase by at least 20% in the sum of the longest diameters of each target lesion, taking as a reference the smallest sum of the longest diameters or appearance of one or more new lesions. DoR was estimated using Kaplan Meier method.

Description DoR was defined for participants who had achieved an objective response (CR/PR) (whichever status was recorded first) as the time period from first documentation of a response to the date of first occurrence of investigator documented disease progression or death. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. Disease progression was defined as increase by at least 20% in the sum of the longest diameters of each target lesion, taking as a reference the smallest sum of the longest diameters or appearance of one or more new lesions. DoR was estimated using Kaplan Meier method.
Time Frame Baseline; Day 15 of Cycles 3 and 6; Month 6 and then every 3 months until disease progression, death or consent withdrawal (up to 53 months)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
ITT set.
Arm/Group Title Bevacizumab + Gemcitabine Bevacizumab + Gemcitabine + Cisplatin
Arm/Group Description Participants received bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 and gemcitabine 1200 mg/m^2 IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. After Cycle 6, participants continued treatment with bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle until progressive disease, death, or intolerable toxicity. Participants received bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV infusion and cisplatin 60 mg/m^2 IV infusion on Day 1 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. After Cycle 6, participants continued treatment with bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of every 21 day cycle until progressive disease, death, or intolerable toxicity.
