A Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) in Combination With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

August 23, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

An Open Label Study of the Safety of First-line Treatment With Avastin in Combination With Cisplatin-gemcitabine or Carboplatin-paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Who Are Considered to be at High Risk of Pulmonary Haemorrhage

This single arm study will assess the feasibility of using Avastin plus platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin-gemcitabine or carboplatin-paclitaxel) in patients with advanced or recurrent squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy. Patients will receive preventive radiation, followed by one cycle of chemotherapy alone and 5 cycles of chemotherapy in combination with Avastin (15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 weekly cycle), followed by Avastin alone for a maximum total treatment period with Avastin of 12 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
