A Phase 2 Study Of Neoadjuvant rhuMAb VEGF (Bevacizumab) In Combination With Paclitaxel And Carboplatin In Surgically Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the clinical complete and partial response rate in patients with stage IB,
II, or IIIA resectable non-small cell lung cancer treated with neoadjuvant bevacizumab,
paclitaxel, and carboplatin.

- Determine the pathologic complete response rate in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the ability to proceed with and complete a potentially curative resection in
patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive neoadjuvant bevacizumab IV over 60-90 minutes, paclitaxel IV over
3 hours, and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1.

Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo surgical resection within 4-6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy.

Patients are followed within 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 23-39 patients will be accrued for this study.
