About this study

Official title: Available - Avastin in Addition to Platinum-based Chemotherapy is Indicated for First-lime Treatment of Patients With Locally Advanced, Metastatic or Recurrent Non-small Lung Cancer Other Than Predominantly Squamous Cell Histology

The purpose of this non-interventional study is the collection and documentation of data on safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) bevacizumab (Avastin) in addition to platinum-based chemotherapy for first-line treatment in participants with unresectable advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) other than predominantly squamous cell histology with focus on adenocarcinoma and elderly patients in daily routine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Toxicities, Avastin-Related ADRs, and Serious ADRs

    ADRs were defined as any response to a drug which was noxious and unintended, and which occurred at dose normally used related to the pharmacological properties. Serious ADRs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence or effect that at any dose resulted in death or life-threatening conditions or required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect or medically important condition. Toxicity was defined as an adverse event that had an attribution (the relationship to investigational agent) of possible, probable or definite. Avastin-related ADRs (an adverse event with a possible relationship or a relationship to the treatment with AVASTIN) were due to Avastin. ADRs includes serious as well as non-serious ADRs.

    Measured: Up to 74 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew or Modified Treatment

    Percentage of participants who withdrew treatment or experienced at least 1 dose deviation in relation to the planned Avastin therapy were reported.

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  2. Number of Cycles of Systemic Therapy

    Number of cycles of systemic therapy was the mean number of cycles received by participants in combination therapy with Avastin and chemotherapy and with Avastin monotherapy (maintenance).

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  3. Percentage of Participants With Best Tumor Response Over Time

    Best tumor response (assessed as per clinical routine of the individual center) was categorized according to the following criteria at the investigator discretion: complete response (CR: commonly defined as disappearance of all target lesions, all non-target lesions, and no new lesion), partial response (PR: commonly defined as at least a 30 percent [%] decrease in the sum of the longest diameter [LD] of target lesions, no progression in non-target lesion, and no new lesion), stable disease (SD: commonly defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease [PD], in addition to no new target lesions). PD: commonly defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started and not evaluable (NE).

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  4. Percentage of Participants With Eastern Cooperative Group(ECOG) Performance Status Grades

    ECOG Performance Status measured on-therapy (time between first dose and last dose date with a 30-day lag) assessed participant's performance status on 5 point scale: 0 is equal to (=) fully active/able to carry on all pre-disease activities without restriction; 1=restricted in physically strenuous activity, ambulatory/able to carry out light or sedentary work; 2=ambulatory (greater than [>] 50% of waking hours [hrs]), capable of all self care, unable to carry out any work activities; 3=capable of only limited self care, confined to bed/chair >50% of waking hrs; 4=completely disabled, cannot carry on any self care, totally confined to bed/chair; 5=dead.

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  5. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control

    Disease control was defined as having achieved CR (commonly defined as disappearance of all target lesions, all non-target lesions, and no new lesion), PR (commonly defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, no progression in non-target lesion, and no new lesion), or SD (commonly defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, in addition to no new target lesions) during the course of observation which were assessed as per investigator discretion. PD: commonly defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started and NE.

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  6. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time (months) between the start of therapy and progression (unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions) or death. Progression: at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  7. Percentage of Participants Who Died

    Measured: Up to 74 months

  8. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time (months) between the start of therapy and the date of death.

    Measured: Up to 74 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 4 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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 4 Mar 2016). 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 With Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Toxicities, Avastin-Related ADRs, and Serious ADRs (time frame: Up to 74 months). 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 NCT02596958, 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 4 Apr 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
