Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (Avastin) versus placebo in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in participants with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Participants will be randomized to receive either bevacizumab 15 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously (IV) or placebo on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle, plus up to 6 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. After progression, participants in the bevacizumab arm may continue to receive bevacizumab in combination with approved second- and third-line treatment at the discretion of the investigator, up to the third progression.
