Safety and Efficacy Study of Avastin in Locally Advanced Metastatic or Recurrent Non-small Lung Cancer (NSLC) Participants

March 7, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Toxicities, Avastin-Related ADRs, and Serious ADRs
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
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.
Up to 74 months

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
Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew or Modified Treatment
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
Percentage of participants who withdrew treatment or experienced at least 1 dose deviation in relation to the planned Avastin therapy were reported.
Up to 74 months
Number of Cycles of Systemic Therapy
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
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).
Up to 74 months
Percentage of Participants With Best Tumor Response Over Time
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
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).
Up to 74 months
Percentage of Participants With Eastern Cooperative Group(ECOG) Performance Status Grades
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
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.
Up to 74 months
Percentage of Participants With Disease Control
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
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.
Up to 74 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
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.
Up to 74 months
Percentage of Participants Who Died
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
Up to 74 months
Overall Survival
Time Frame: Up to 74 months
Overall survival was defined as the time (months) between the start of therapy and the date of death.
Up to 74 months
