A Safety and Feasibility Study of Bevacizumab With Paclitaxel, Carboplatin and Chest Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Non-Small Lung Cancer


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the feasibility of administering bevacizumab, paclitaxel, carboplatin, and chest
radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

II. Characterize the toxicity of this treatment regimen. III. Assess the clinical response
to this treatment regimen. IV. Correlate circulating levels of angiopoietin-2 and vascular
endothelial growth factor receptor-2 with clinical response to this treatment regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.Induction therapy.

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1,
8, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 43 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 15, 29, and 43.
Patients also undergo chest radiotherapy 5 days a week for 7 weeks beginning on day 1.

Consolidation therapy: Beginning 4-5 weeks after completion chemoradiotherapy, patients
receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour followed by carboplatin IV over 1 hour followed by
bevacizumab IV over 30 minutes. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After study completion, patients are followed periodically for 36 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.
