Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Erlotinib With Bevacizumab in Chemotherapy Naïve Performance Status (PS) 2 Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer


OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.

- Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV on day 1

- Erlotinib 150 mg po qd days 1-21

- Disease Assessment during even numbered cycles

If no progressive disease observed, continue (combination or single agent- see below) until
unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease.

If progressive disease observed, treatment will be discontinued.

- Cycles will be repeated every 21 days up to a total of 6 cycles.

- Patients with non-progression after 6 cycles may stay on therapy (single agent
erlotinib or the combination) until progressive disease or intolerable toxicity (at the
physician discretion).

- Patients who require discontinuation of bevacizumab may receive at investigator's
discretion erlotinib alone on study until progression.

- Patients who require discontinuation of erlotinib may receive at investigator's
discretion bevacizumab alone until progression.
