Clinical Trial Summary

Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Cetuximab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cetuximab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the frequency and severity of hemorrhage toxicities in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, cetuximab and bevacizumab followed by therapy with cetuximab and bevacizumab.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate progression-free and overall survival, response rate (confirmed plus unconfirmed, complete plus partial), and frequency and severity of non-hemorrhage toxicities in this group of patients treated with this regimen.

II. To perform molecular correlative studies on patient tissue to investigate in an exploratory manner potential predictors of efficacy.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The Percentage of Patients With Grade 4 (i.e. Life-threatening) Hemorrhage Toxicities Related to Protocol Treatment. All patients who received protocol treatment were assessed for adverse events per the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 3.0. We counted the number of patients who reported at least one Grade 4 (i.e. life-threatening) hemorrhage adverse event that was possibly, probably, or definitely related to the study treatment. Every week until removed from protocol therapy, up to 3 years. Yes
Secondary Progression-Free Survival From data of registration to date of disease progression (as defined by RECIST, i.e. a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, or unequivocal progression ina non-target lesion in the opinion of the treating investigator, or the appearance of new lesions), symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive and progression-free were censored at the date of last contact. Every 6 weeks until disease progression. After 9 months, every 12 weeks until disease progression, up to 3 years. No
Secondary Overall Survival From date of enrollment to date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive were censored at date of last contact. Once a week, up to 3 years. No
Secondary Response Rate Confirmed and unconfirmed complete and partial responses per RECIST in the subset of patients with at least one target lesion assessed by CT or MRI. A complete response (CR) was defined as disappearance of all disease, including non-target lesions. A partial response (PR) was defined as a >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of all target lesions. A CR or PR was confirmed if documented a second time at least 4 weeks after the first documentation. Every 6 weeks while on protocol treatment, up to 3 years. No
