Brief Summary:
This randomized phase II trial studies how well erlotinib hydrochloride (Tarceva) with or without bevacizumab (Avastin) works in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of NSCLC by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether erlotinib hydrochloride is more effective when given alone or with bevacizumab in treating patients with NSCLC.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
EGFR Exon 19 Deletion Mutation EGFR NP_005219.2:p.L858R Lung Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Carcinoma Stage IV Lung Non-Small Cell Cancer AJCC v7 Biological: Bevacizumab Drug: Erlotinib Drug: Erlotinib Hydrochloride Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the progression-free survival of erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) and bevacizumab versus that of erlotinib alone for the purpose of deciding if the combination arm is worth pursuing in a phase III trial.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate the overall survival of erlotinib and bevacizumab versus erlotinib alone.

II. To investigate the response rate of erlotinib and bevacizumab versus erlotinib alone.

III. To investigate the progression-free survival in patients with exon deletion 19 or exon 21 L858R point mutations.

IV. To investigate the toxicity of erlotinib and bevacizumab versus erlotinib alone using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

CORRELATIVE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

I. To correlate EGFR mutations detected in plasma deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with those detected in tumor DNA.

II. To estimate the prevalence of EGFR T790M resistance mutations from pretreatment tumor biopsies using more sensitive mutation detection methods.

III. To investigate progression free survival of EGFR mutant NSCLC patients with and without concurrent EGFR T790M detected from pre-treatment tumor specimen using allele specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

IV. To prospectively evaluate the predictive value of plasma VEGF-A levels on progression free survival in patients treated with erlotinib alone or in combination with bevacizumab.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. (erlotinib will no longer be supplied and all patients will be removed from study treatment. No further follow-up by any study participants as of September 1, 2019)

ARM B: Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride as in Arm A and bevacizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1. (erlotinib will no longer be supplied and all patients will be removed from study treatment. No further follow-up by any study participants as of September 1, 2019)

In both arms, courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for 6 years.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to disease progression and death of any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 6 years ]
    Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death resulting from any cause, whichever comes first. Progression is defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to death of any causes, assessed up to 6 years ]
    Overall survival time is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

  2. Response Rate (Complete or Partial) to Each Treatment, Evaluated Using the New International Criteria Proposed by the Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Guidelines (Version 1.1) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    The response rate (percentage) is the percent of patients whose best response was Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Percentage of successes will be estimated by 100 times the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. (CR: Disappearance of all evidence of disease, PR: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites).

  3. Progression Free Survival of Patients With Different Mutation Types (Exon Deletion 19 Versus Exon 21 L858R) [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death of any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 6 years ]
    Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death resulting from any cause, whichever comes first. Progression is defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator by mutation type.

  4. Number of Patients Experiencing Toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to 42 days after treatment discontinuation ]
    The number of patients experiencing toxicity defined as grade 3 or higher adverse events (using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0) considered at least possibly related to treatment is reported below.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. EGFR Mutations Detected in Plasma Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Agreement of EGFR mutations detected in plasma DNA with those detected in tumor DNA will be evaluated.

  2. EGFR Mutations Detected in Tumor Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Agreement of EGFR mutations detected in plasma DNA with those detected in tumor DNA will be evaluated.

  3. Prevalence of EGFR T790M Resistance Mutations From Pretreatment > Tumor Biopsies Using More Sensitive Mutation Detection Methods [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Tested using Cox proportional hazard model after adjusting for treatment effect. The robustness of treatment effect in different subgroups will be examined in a Forest plot.

  4. EGFR T790M Mutations [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Detected from pre-treatment tumor specimen using allele specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PFS of patients with EGFR T790M mutations will be estimated and the survival difference will be tested using Cox proportional hazard model after adjusting for treatment effect. The robustness of treatment effect in different subgroups will be examined in a Forest plot.

  5. Predictive Value of Plasma VEGF-A Levels on Progression Free Survival in Patients Treated With Erlotinib Hydrochloride Alone or in Combination With Bevacizumab [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Evaluated using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve and area under curve.
