About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study of Bevacizumab With Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Previously Untreated Patients With Advanced Non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to see if higher dose of bevacizumab can be taken safely by some patients and if changes in the dose of bevacizumab have any effect on blood pressure.

Read the detailed description

Carboplatin and pemetrexed are FDA approved chemotherapy agents for patients with advanced non squamous non small cell lung cancer. Bevacizumab is also FDA approved in lung cancer , and the combination of all three drugs is promising. The doctors directing this research want to learn how to better personalize drug dosing of bevacizumab by identifying people who could safely take a higher dose of the drug.

Being tested
Pemetrexed, Carboplatin, Bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg, Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in 24 Hour Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)

    The change for each patient was calculated as mean 24 hour DBP during cycle 2 - mean 24 hour DBP during cycle 1

    Measured: 2 cycles

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response Rate

    Percentage of patients with a complete or partial response. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Change in Tumor Size From Baseline

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Progression Free Survival

    Time to progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pemetrexed, Carboplatin and Bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg in people with Advanced Non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 3 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 9 inclusion and 28 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 18 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Nov 2019). 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?

Change in 24 Hour Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) (time frame: 2 cycles). 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 18 Nov 2019.
