What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of Overall Survival - Percentage of Participants With an Event
Time Frame: Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized
Duration of overall survival (OS) was defined as the time between date of randomization and date of death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the date last known to be alive. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization.
Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized
Duration of Overall Survival - Time to Event
Time Frame: Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized
Duration of OS was defined as the time between date of randomization and date of death due to any cause. Participants without an event were censored at the date last known to be alive. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization. Median duration of survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)
Time Frame: Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized
Randomization, Weeks 1-8 of Cycle 1, Weeks 1-3 of consecutive cycles, 28 days and 3 months after lst treatment, and every 3 months for up to 18 months from last participant randomized
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
Time Frame: Screening, Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and every 12 weeks thereafter or until confirmed evidence of disease progression
PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of documented progressive disease (PD) defined according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) evaluation, or date of death due to any cause. PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum (LD) recorded since the treatment started. Participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression, or date of last available tumor assessment if no further follow up assessment for progression was performed. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization.
Screening, Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and every 12 weeks thereafter or until confirmed evidence of disease progression
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Time to Event
Time Frame: Screening, Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and every 12 weeks thereafter or until confirmed evidence of disease progression
PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of documented PD (per RECIST), or date of death due to any cause. Data for participants without an event were censored at the date of last follow up for progression, or date of last available tumor assessment if no further follow up assessment for progression was performed. Participants who were randomized but not exposed to study drug and had no further follow up were censored at the date of randomization. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Screening, Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and every 12 weeks thereafter or until confirmed evidence of disease progression
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) at First Postbaseline Tumor Assessment
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 8
Percentage of participants with CR, PR, or SD according to modified RECIST evaluation at the first postbaseline tumor assessment. CR equaled (=) complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with normalization of tumor marker level. PR is greater than or equal to (≥) a 30% decrease of the sum of the LD of all target lesions as referenced to the baseline sum LD of all target lesions. Persistence of one or more non-target lesions(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above normal limits. SD=neither sufficient shrinkage of target lesions to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD with persistence of one or more non-target lesions(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above normal limits.
Baseline and Week 8
Bevacizumab Concentration in the Presence of Gemcitabine and Erlotinib
Time Frame: Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
Blood samples were collected from a subgroup of participants, in selected centers for the determination of bevacizumab serum concentration before the first bevacizumab/placebo exposure (Week 1) and at Weeks 3, 5, 7, and 9. Each time blood samples were collected just (preferably within 1 hour) before the start of the study treatment.
Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
