About this study

Official title: An Open Label Study to Assess the Effect of Avastin (Bevacizumab) Combined With First Line Paclitaxel-carboplatin or Second Line Tarceva (Erlotinib) on Progression-free Survival in Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Asymptomatic Untreated Brain Metastasis

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of Avastin combined with first li ne paclitaxel-carboplatin (cohort 1) or second line Tarceva (cohort 2) in patien ts with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with asymptomatic untreated brai n metastasis. Two cohorts of patients will be studied; the first will receive Av astin 15mg/kg iv every 3 weeks combined with first line paclitaxel 200mg/m2 iv p lus carboplatin AUC6 iv every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles, and the second cohort will receive Avastin 15mg/kg iv every 3 weeks combined with second line T arceva 150mg/kg po.The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease prog ression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Without Disease Progression or Death at 6 Months

    Tumor progression was defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1 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, reported since the start of treatment, or appearance of one or more new lesions. PFS (investigator assessed) was defined as the time between the first dose of study treatment and the first event of progression or death by any cause. Participants without an event were censored the last time they were known to be progression free. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method in each treatment arm.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death

    Tumor progression was defined according to the RECIST criteria 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, reported since the start of treatment, or appearance of one or more new lesions. PFS (investigator assessed) was defined as the time between the first dose of study treatment and the first event of progression or death by any cause. Participants without an event were censored the last time they were known to be progression free. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method in each treatment arm.

    Measured: Screening, Day 1 of Cycles 3 and 5 and every 2 cycles until end of treatment visit or disease progression or death up to 18 months after enrollment of last participant

  3. Time to Disease Progression or Death

    Tumor 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, reported since the start of treatment, or appearance of one or more new lesions. Time to event was determined as the number of months between the first dose of study treatment and the first event of progression or death by any cause. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method in each treatment arm.

    Measured: Screening, Day 1 of Cycles 3 and 5 and every 2 cycles until end of treatment visit or disease progression or death up to 18 months after enrollment of last participant

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Died

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and every 3 weeks up to 18 months or until death

  2. Probability of Being Alive at 12 and 18 Months

    Measured: Months 12 and 18

  3. Time to Death

    Time to death was determined as the number of months between the first dose of study treatment and the event of death by any cause. Overall survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and every 3 weeks up to 18 months or until death

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Best Overall Response of Complete Response or Partial Response as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST

    Overall response defined as best response according to RECIST recorded from date of randomization until disease progression or recurrence. Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; Partial response (PR): reduction by at least 30 percent (%) of sum of the longest diameters of each target lesion, taking initial sum of longest diameters as a reference. Participants with a missing response were considered non-responders. 95% CI for one sample binomial using Pearson-Clopper method.

    Measured: Screening, Day 1 of Cycles 3 and 5 and every 2 cycles until end of treatment visit or disease progression or death up to 18 months after enrollment of last participant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab [Avastin], carboplatin and erlotinib [Tarceva] in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 25 sites in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 19 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 19 Nov 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants Achieving Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Without Disease Progression or Death at 6 Months (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Nov 2014.
