Summary
This single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of Avastin combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Avastin will be given as first-line treatment in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy or in combination with any standard of care NSCLC first-line chemotherapy used in line with the licensed national prescribing information. Eligible patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle) concomitantly with chemotherapy. Avastin treatment will continue after completion of chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- adult patients, >=18 years of age;
- histologically or cytologically documented inoperable, locally advanced ( stage III), metastatic (stage IV) or recurrent NSCLC other than squamous cell (tumors of mixed histology should be categorized by the predominant cell type);
- ECOG PS status 0-2;
- life expectancy >= 12weeks;
- adequate renal, liver and hematological function.
Exclusion Criteria
- mixed, non-small and small cell tumors, or mixed adenosquamous carcinomas with a predominant squamous component;
- hemoptysis (>=1/2 teaspoon of bright red blood) in previous 3 months;
- evidence of tumor invading major blood vessels on imaging;
- evidence of CNS metastases, even if previously treated.
- major surgery (including open biopsy), significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrolment, or anticipation of need for major surgery during study treatment;
- prior chemotherapy for stage IIIb/IV disease.
