A Phase II Study of L-BLP25 and Bevacizumab in Unresectable Stage IIIA and IIIB Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After Definitive Chemoradiation


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To determine the safety of BLP25 liposome vaccine and bevacizumab after definitive
chemoradiotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed,
unresectable stage IIIA or IIIB nonsquamous cell non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

- To evaluate the overall survival and progression-free in patients treated with this
regimen.

- To evaluate the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

- Chemoradiotherapy: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and carboplatin IV over
15-30 minutes once a week for 6 weeks. Patients also undergo concurrent definitive
radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6½ weeks. Patients with complete response (CR), partial
response (PR), or stable disease (SD) proceed to consolidation chemotherapy.

- Consolidation chemotherapy: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin
IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with CR, PR, or SD
proceed to maintenance therapy.

- Maintenance therapy: Patients receive a single dose of cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30
minutes 3 days before the first dose of bevacizumab and BLP25 liposome vaccine.
Patients then receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 and BLP25 liposome
vaccine subcutaneously on days 1, 8, and 15 of courses 1 and 2 and on day 1 of every
other course beginning in course 4. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 34
courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.
