Brief Summary:
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (Avastin) versus placebo in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in participants with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Participants will be randomized to receive either bevacizumab 15 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously (IV) or placebo on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle, plus up to 6 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. After progression, participants in the bevacizumab arm may continue to receive bevacizumab in combination with approved second- and third-line treatment at the discretion of the investigator, up to the third progression.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Bevacizumab + Paclitaxel/Carboplatin
Participants will receive bevacizumab on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin for the first 6 treatment cycles (cycle length = 21 days). Participants will continue to receive bevacizumab on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Drug: Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab will be administered at 15 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Other Name: Avastin

Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin will be administered at area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) 6.0 IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, up to 6 cycles.

Drug: Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel will be administered at 175 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, up to 6 cycles.

Active Comparator: Placebo + Paclitaxel/Carboplatin
Participants will receive bevacizumab matching placebo on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin for the first 6 treatment cycles (cycle length = 21 days). Participants will continue to receive bevacizumab matching placebo on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin will be administered at area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) 6.0 IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, up to 6 cycles.

Drug: Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel will be administered at 175 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, up to 6 cycles.

Drug: Placebo
Bevacizumab matching placebo will be administered IV on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
