What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS) Among All Randomized Patients

    Overall Survival was defined as the period from the date of randomization until the date of patient death from any cause. For patients who had not died, survival data was censored at the date of last contact.

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of patient death from any cause, or the date of last contact. (Up to 3.1 years)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to documented disease progression, as determined by the investigator using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), or death on study treatment, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: From randomization to documented disease progression or death on study treatment, whichever occurred first. (Up to 3.1 years)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

    Objective response was defined as a complete or partial response determined by RECIST on two consecutive occasions >= 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: The median duration of Objective response was up to 9.7 months

  3. Duration of Objective Response

    Duration of objective response was defined as the period from the date of the initial partial or complete response until the date of disease progression or death on study treatment from any cause. For patients who had not died, data was censored at the date of last contact.

    Measured: Period from Objective response until disease progression or death on study treatment. (Up to 29.5 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing bevacizumab and erlotinib HCl in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Genentech, Inc. at 4 sites in United States.

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 23 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 14 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Survival (OS) Among All Randomized Patients (time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of patient death from any cause, or the date of last contact. (Up to 3.1 years)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00130728, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Jan 2021.
