Condition(s) targeted: Lung Cancer

Intervention: Bevacizumab (Avastin), Taxotere (Docetaxel), Vinorelbine Tartrate (Navelbine) (Drug)

Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Christopher Azzoli, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combination of the drugs docetaxel (Taxotere ® ), plus vinorelbine (Navelbine ® ), will result in fewer side effects than cisplatin chemotherapy, thereby improving delivery of chemotherapy in patients. Another purpose of this study is to determine whether a third drug, bevacizumab (Avastin®), may be delivered safely with docetaxel plus vinorelbine in patients who are eligible to receive bevacizumab.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Pilot Study of Docetaxel (Taxotere), Vinorelbine, and Bevacizumab, as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Patients With Resected Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: To measure the number of cycles of docetaxel + vinorelbine which can be delivered to patients with completely resected NSCLC (up to 4) in order to estimate whether tolerability is better than reported for standard cisplatin + vinorelbine.

Secondary outcome:

To evaluate the safety of docetaxel + vinorelbine chemotherapy delivered to patients with completely resected NSCLC.

To conduct an exploratory analysis of serial measurement of circulating DNA in blood as a way to track the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy.

- Total Bilirubin < than or equal to 1. 5 x ULN AST or ALT and Alkaline Phosphatase must

be within the range allowing for eligibility

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.

- Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective

contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.

- Patients being considered for treatment with bevacizumab must have a urine protein:

creatinine (UPC) ratio < 1. 0 at screening and an MRI of brain or CT brain with IV contrast showing no evidence of brain metastases within 3 months of study entry Exclusion Criteria:
