Phase II Study of Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed and Carboplatin as First-Line Therapy in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

August 31, 2011 updated by: Armando Santoro, MD

Phase II Study of the Combination of Bevacizumab Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin as First-line Therapy in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

The primary objective is to assess antitumor activity of the combination of bevacizumab, pemetrexed and carboplatin, in terms of time to progression.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Secondary endpoints are to evaluate:

  • the objective response rate (RR) of the combination;
  • the toxicity and the safety profile of the combination;
  • the duration of response (RD) and time to treatment failure (TTF);
  • the overall survival (OS)
  • RR, TTP and OS according to baseline plasma VEGF levels (introduced with Amendment 1 dated 8/11/2007)
