Summary
This trial will evaluate whether the sequential administration of
Cisplatin/Vinorelbine/Bevacizumab followed by Docetaxel/Gemcitabine/Bevacizumab versus the
Cisplatin/Docetaxel/Bevacizumab combination as first line treatment offers a survival
advantage in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
Clinical Details
Official title: Sequential Cisplatin/Vinorelbine/Bevacizumab Followed by Docetaxel/Gemcitabine/Bevacizumab Versus Cisplatin/Docetaxel/Bevacizumab in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Overall Response Rate
Secondary outcome: Time to Tumor ProgressionOverall Survival Quality of life assessment
Detailed description:
An unanswered question in first line treatment of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is
whether the administration of more than 2 active drugs provides greater efficacy than a
two-drug combination. Docetaxel/gemcitabine combination is a well tolerated regimen, which
has comparable efficacy to docetaxel/cisplatin or vinorelbine/cisplatin. In a recent phase
II study in first line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC, the sequential
administration of vinorelbine/cisplatin followed by docetaxel/gemcitabine produced a
response rate of 45. 8% and a 1-year survival rate of 51%. The addition of bevacizumab to a
platinum-based regimen provided a survival benefit in patients with advanced or metastatic
NSCLC.
