Docetaxel (Taxotere), Vinorelbine, and Bevacizumab, as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Patients With Resected Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

October 20, 2015 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

A Pilot Study of Docetaxel (Taxotere), Vinorelbine, and Bevacizumab, as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Patients With Resected Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combination of the drugs docetaxel (Taxotere ® ), plus vinorelbine (Navelbine ® ), will result in fewer side effects than cisplatin chemotherapy, thereby improving delivery of chemotherapy in patients.

Another purpose of this study is to determine whether a third drug, bevacizumab (Avastin®), may be delivered safely with docetaxel plus vinorelbine in patients who are eligible to receive bevacizumab.

  • Baseline renal insufficiency (defined as a creatinine clearance of < than or equal to 60 ml/min as calculated by the equation of Cockcroft and Gault using the patient's age, weight (kg), and serum creatinine (mg/dl).
  • Performance status 70% on the Karnofsky scale.
  • Congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association functional classification > or equal to II, characterized by fatigue, dyspnea or other symptoms which limit activities of daily life.
  • Patient refuses to take cisplatin.

  • Hemoglobin > than or equal to 8.0 g/dl
  • Platelet count > than or equal to 100,000/mm3 Hepatic
  • Total Bilirubin < than or equal to 1.5 x ULN AST or ALT and Alkaline Phosphatase must be within the range allowing for eligibility
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.
  • Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.
  • Patients being considered for treatment with bevacizumab must have a urine protein: creatinine (UPC) ratio < 1.0 at screening and an MRI of brain or CT brain with IV contrast showing no evidence of brain metastases within 3 months of study entry

Exclusion Criteria:

  • > 16 weeks post-op
  • Prior post-operative radiation

Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: 1
Docetaxel (Taxotere), Vinorelbine, and Bevacizumab, as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Patients with Resected Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Patients will be treated as follows: vinorelbine (45 mg/m2) + docetaxel (45 mg/m2) intravenously on day 1, followed by pegylated filgrastim 6mg subcutaneously on day 2, delivered every 2 weeks for 8 doses total. Patients who have already received one cycle of cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy need only complete 3 cycles of vinorelbine+docetaxel for a total of 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients who require post-operative radiation therapy (PORT) will begin PORT after completion of vinorelbine + docetaxel.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description
Time Frame
To Measure the Number of Cycles
Time Frame: 2 years
Cycle delivery is a surrogate for drug delivery. Both cycle delivery and drug delivery will be measured in this study. However, cycle delivery (up to 4 cycles) is the common way drug delivery is measured in the literature, and therefore cycle delivery has been chosen as the primary endpoint for this study.Two doses of both docetaxel plus vinorelbine, delivered over 4 weeks, constitutes one cycle. If either drug is discontinued, the subject will remain on study, however that patient will not get credit for completing subsequent cycles of therapy. If the dose of either drug is reduced, the subject will remain on study and get credit for subsequent cycles.
