Trial Information

Phase II Study of Bevacizumab and Erlotinib in Elderly Patients With Advanced Non-Small Lung Cancer


There is no definite evidence of a superior therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
in elderly patients. With the exception of one known study, single agent erlotinib has not
been studied exclusively in the elderly and the combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab has
never been studied exclusively in the treatment naive elderly. This is an important
population that needs less toxic therapies.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Cytologically or histologic confirmed non-small cell lung cancer, stage IIIB or IV or
recurrent after primary surgery or radiotherapy.

- ECOG PS 0-1

- 70 years of age or older

- Must have measurable disease

- ANC > 1500, platelets > 100,000

- Total bilirubin
- Able and willing to swallow and absorb oral medication

- Able and willing to sign consent

- Request archival diagnostic tissue for EGFR expression but not required

Exclusion Criteria:

- Proteinuria as demonstrated by UPC ratio >/= 1.0

- Prior treatment with an investigational or marketed inhibitor of the EGFR pathway or
anti-angiogenesis agent (includes thalidomide)

- Prior treatment for advanced stage disease, with the exception of surgery or
radiation (no systemic)

- History of gross hemoptysis within 1 month of enrollment unless treated with surgery
or radiation

- Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or other serious/acute internal
bleeding within 6 months of enrollment.

- Current, ongoing treatment with full dose warfarin or equivalent

- Current(within 10 days)use of aspirin (> 325mg/day) or other NSAID with antiplatelet
activity

- History of hemorrhagic or thrombotic stoke, TIA, or other CNS bleeding w/in last 6
months. Clinically significant PVD

- Known CNS disease except for treated brain mets.

- Squamous cell histology
