April 13, 2023 updated by: Biocad

International Multicenter Randomized Double Blind Phase III Trial Comparing Safety and Efficacy of BCD-021 (CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) and Paclitaxel + Carboplatin to Avastin® (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Switzerland) and Paclitaxel + Carboplatin in Inoperable or Advanced Non-squamous Non-small-cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients

BCD-021-02 is a double-blind randomized clinical trial comparing efficacy of BCD-021 (INN: bevacizumab) and paclitaxel + carboplatin to Avastin and paclitaxel + carboplatin in inoperable or advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients with pharmacokinetics substudy. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of efficacy and safety of BCD-021 compared to Avastin. Also study includes pharmacokinetics assessment.
