Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Duration of Overall Survival - Percentage of Participants With an Event [Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized]

    Duration of overall survival (OS) was defined as the time between date of randomization and date of death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the date last known to be alive. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization.

  2. Duration of Overall Survival - Time to Event [Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized]

    Duration of OS was defined as the time between date of randomization and date of death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the date last known to be alive. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization. Median duration of survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Clinical Benefit Response (CBR) [Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized]

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event [Screening, Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and every 12 weeks thereafter or until confirmed evidence of disease progression]

    PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of documented progressive disease (PD) defined according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) evaluation, or date of death due to any cause. PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum (LD) recorded since the treatment started. Participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression, or date of last available tumor assessment if no further follow up assessment for progression was performed. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization.

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Time to Event [Screening, Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and every 12 weeks thereafter or until confirmed evidence of disease progression]

    PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of documented PD (per RECIST), or date of death due to any cause. Data for participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression, or date of last available tumor assessment if no further follow up assessment for progression was performed. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) at First Postbaseline Tumor Assessment [Baseline and Week 8]

    Percentage of participants with CR, PR, or SD according to modified RECIST evaluation at the first postbaseline tumor assessment. CR equaled (=) complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with normalization of tumor marker level. PR is greater than or equal to (≥) a 30% decrease of the sum of the LD of all target lesions as referenced to the baseline sum LD of all target lesions. Persistence of one or more non-target lesions(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above normal limits. SD=neither sufficient shrinkage of target lesions to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD with persistence of one or more non-target lesions(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above normal limits.

  5. Bevacizumab Concentration in the Presence of Gemcitabine and Erlotinib [Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9]

    Blood samples were collected from a subgroup of participants, in selected centers for the determination of bevacizumab serum concentration before the first bevacizumab/placebo exposure (Week 1) and at Weeks 3, 5, 7, and 9. Each time blood samples were collected just (preferably within 1 hour) before the start of the study treatment.

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The analysis of the CBR was dependent on the calculation of analgesic therapy (AT); this calculation relies on established conversion factors for different morphine derivatives (MD). Many MD utilized by participants do not have well-established conversion factors, yielding uninterpretable results. Therefore, CBR was not analyzed in this study.

3. Secondary Outcome
Title Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
Description PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of documented progressive disease (PD) defined according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) evaluation, or date of death due to any cause. PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum (LD) recorded since the treatment started. Participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression, or date of last available tumor assessment if no further follow up assessment for progression was performed. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization.

6. Primary Outcome
Title Duration of Overall Survival - Time to Event
Description Duration of OS was defined as the time between date of randomization and date of death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the date last known to be alive. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization. Median duration of survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time Frame Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized

7. Secondary Outcome
Title Bevacizumab Concentration in the Presence of Gemcitabine and Erlotinib
Description Blood samples were collected from a subgroup of participants, in selected centers for the determination of bevacizumab serum concentration before the first bevacizumab/placebo exposure (Week 1) and at Weeks 3, 5, 7, and 9. Each time blood samples were collected just (preferably within 1 hour) before the start of the study treatment.
Time Frame Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9

Adverse Events

Time Frame Adverse Events (AEs) were reported from Day 1 (or prior to Day 1 for serious AEs [SAEs] related to study specific procedures) until 28 days after last dose. Related nonserious SAEs occurring up to 6 months after last dose of study drug were reported.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Related SAEs: reported indefinitely; related AEs: followed to return to baseline/stabilizing or causal relationship changed. Unrelated, mild/moderate AEs: followed for 28 days after last dose. Severe, life-threatening/related AEs: followed to resolution, causal relationship changed or death.
