Overview

Brief Summary

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with capecitabine and cisplatin versus placebo in combination with capecitabine and cisplatin in participants who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. Participants will be randomized to one of two treatment groups Bevacizumab + Capecitabine/Cisplatin (experimental arm) or Placebo + Capecitabine/Cisplatin (control arm).

Arms & Interventions

Bevacizumab, Capecitabine and Cisplatin

Participants will receive bevacizumab 7.5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle in combination with capecitabine 1000 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) orally twice daily (total daily dose 2000 mg/m\^2) on Days 1-14 of every 3-week cycle and cisplatin 80 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles; until disease progression or unmanageable toxicity.

Intervention: Bevacizumab

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Event (Death)

Time Frame: From randomization until death (up to 34 months)

Percentage of participants who died due to any cause was reported. As planned, ad hoc analysis was done for overall survival up to clinical cut-off date of 12 January 2012 (34 months), subsequent to the protocol-defined clinical cut-off date of 13 May 2011 (26 months). Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization and the date of death due to any cause.

Overall Survival

Time Frame: From randomization until death (up to 34 months)

Overall survival was defined as the time between randomization and the date of death due to any cause. Overall survival was estimated using Kaplan Meier method. Reported data included censored observations. Participants for whom no death was captured on the clinical database were censored at the most recent date they were known to be alive. As planned, ad hoc analysis was done for overall survival up to clinical clinical cut-off date of 12 January 2012 (34 months), subsequent to the protocol-defined clinical cut-off date of 13 May 2011 (26 months).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percentage of Participants With Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Events (Disease Progression/Death)(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Percentage of Participants With PFS Events (Disease Progression/Death) During First-line Therapy(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response as Assessed by RECIST During First-Line Therapy(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Duration of Response During First-Line Therapy(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Change From Cycle 1 in EORTC QLQ-STO22 Scale Over Time(From Cycle 1 until disease progression (up to 26 months))
  • Time to Progression(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • PFS During First-line Therapy(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Percentage of Participants With Disease Control During First-Line Therapy(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS)(From randomization until disease progression or death (up to 26 months))
  • Change From Cycle 1 in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 36 (QLQ-C30) Scale Over Time(From Cycle 1 until disease progression (up to 26 months))
