• Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL.

• Platelet count ≥ 100.000/mm3.

• Adequate renal function, defined as:

• Creatinine clearance ≥ 40 ml/min, according to MDRD formula.

• Fertile males must use an effective contraceptive method (error rate per year <1%) during the trial and until 6 months after the last study treatment dose, such as sexual abstinence, previous vasectomy and/or having a partner using any of following methods: implantables, injections, combined oral contraceptives and/or intrauterine device (hormonal only).

CRITERIOS EXCLUSION

• Previous chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC.

• >1 geriatric syndrome

OBJETIVOS

To assess the toxicity of the treatment in elderly patients (≥70 years) with NSC lung cancer who meet inclusion criteria for bevacizumab and selected based on a geriatric evaluation.

Determine predictive factors of toxicity in the elderly population (≥70 years). Determine objective response rate Determine disease control rate Determine progression free survival Determine overall survival Determine safety of the treatment combination

VARIABLES

Primary endpoint:

Rate of grade 3-4 neutropenia defined according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria version 4.0 (NCI-CTC v4.0).

Secondary endpoints:

• Items of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) scale as predictive factors for toxicity end-points.

• Objective response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).

• Progression-free survival.

• Overall survival.
