Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01351415
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This open-label, randomized, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (Avastin) in combination with standard of care (SOC) treatment in participants with advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Participants will be enrolled at documentation of progression of disease (PD) after 4-6 cycles of first-line treatment with bevacizumab plus a platinum doublet-containing therapy and a minimum of two cycles of bevacizumab maintenance treatment prior to PD. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms to receive either bevacizumab plus SOC treatment or SOC treatment alone.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization at first progression of disease to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response According to RECIST v1.1Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

The objective response is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed according to the RECIST v.1.1 criteria with baseline tumour assessment as the reference. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and (if applicable) normalization of tumor marker levels. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions in reference to Baseline sum LD. Response was to be confirmed ≥4 weeks after the initial assessment of CR or PR.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

PFS was defined as the time from start of treatment to the first event of death or PD. Tumor response was assessed by the IRF according to RECIST v1.1. Disease progression or PD was defined as ≥20% increase in sum LD in reference to the smallest on-study sum LD, or the appearance of new lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. PFS2 is defined as the time between randomization at PD1 and the date of PD2 or death, whichever occurs first. PFS3 is defined as the time between PD2 and the date of PD3 or death, whichever occurs first.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

An AE was considered any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Preexisting conditions that worsened during the study and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in a change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as adverse events. A SAE was any experience that: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was medically significant.

Time to Progression (TTP) According to RECIST v1.1Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

The time to progression was defined as the time from baseline until disease progression as determined by the RECIST v1.1. TTP2 is defined as the interval between the day of randomization at PD1 and PD2. TTP3 is defined as the interval between the day of PD2 and PD3. PD was defined as ≥20% increase in sum LD in reference to the smallest on-study sum LD, or the appearance of new lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Percentage of Participants Who Are Alive at Month 6, 12, and 18Month 6, 12, 18

Percentage of participants who were alive at Month 6, 12 and 18 were reported.

Percentage of Participants With Disease Control According to RECIST v1.1Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

The disease control rate is defined as CR or PR or stable disease (SD) assessed according to the RECIST v.1.1 criteria with baseline tumour assessment as the reference. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for a PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter since treatment started for target lesions and the persistence of 1 or more non-target lesions.

Duration of Response (DoR) According to RECIST v1.1Up to data cut-off date 24 June 2016 (approximately 5 years)

Duration of response is defined as the time that measurement criteria are met for objective response (CR/PR) (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date of progression or death is documented. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and (if applicable) normalization of tumor marker levels. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than \< 10 mm. PR was defined as greater than or equal to ≥30 % decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions in reference to baseline sum longest diameter.
